Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of acupoint patch production, and in particular to a fully automatic acupoint patch production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Acupoint patches are a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that involves placing medicine (such as herbal ointments or oils) on acupoint patches, which are then applied to specific acupoints on the body. Through the stimulation of the acupoints by the medicine and its own pharmacological effects, it achieves the purpose of preventing and treating diseases or maintaining health.

[0003] There is an acupoint patch with a heating pack. When the user applies the patch to the skin, the heating pack heats up, transferring heat to the skin and the patch to improve the skin's absorption efficiency of the medication. To enhance user convenience, after the patch is manufactured, an adhesive is applied to it. Then, the operator uses the adhesive to fix the heating pack to the patch.

[0004] In the production of acupoint patches with heating packs, the heating packs generate heat through a chemical reaction. This reaction occurs upon contact with air. Therefore, operators must quickly apply adhesive to the acupoint patch using a glue gun and attach the heating pack. The patch with the heating pack is then transferred to a sealing device to seal it, thus stopping the heating. However, this method requires operators to first apply adhesive to the acupoint patch and then attach the heating pack, resulting in a relatively long overall time consumption. This may also reduce the heating efficiency of the heating pack during user use, indicating room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve the production efficiency of acupoint patches with heating packs, this application provides a fully automatic acupoint patch production equipment.

[0006] The fully automatic acupoint patch production equipment provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A fully automatic acupoint patch production equipment includes a frame and a conveyor belt that rotates on the frame. Along the rotation direction of the conveyor belt, the frame is sequentially equipped with a patch feeding mechanism, an adhesive coating mechanism, a heating pack feeding mechanism, and a pressing mechanism. The patch feeding mechanism places the acupoint patch onto the conveyor belt, the adhesive coating mechanism applies adhesive to the acupoint patch on the conveyor belt, the heating pack feeding mechanism places the heating pack onto the acupoint patch, and the pressing mechanism presses the acupoint patch and the heating pack together.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the acupoint patch is transferred to the conveyor belt by the patch feeding mechanism, the adhesive is applied to the acupoint patch on the conveyor belt by the adhesive coating mechanism, and the heating pack is placed on the acupoint patch after adhesive coating by the heating pack feeding mechanism. Then, the acupoint patch and the heating pack are pressed together by the pressing mechanism, thereby realizing the automated production process of acupoint patches, reducing the need for operators to participate in the production of acupoint patches, and playing a positive guiding role in improving the production efficiency of acupoint patches with heating packs.

[0009] Preferably, the patch feeding mechanism includes a first robotic arm and a material box, the material box being used to hold acupoint patches, and the first robotic arm being used to sequentially transfer the acupoint patches located in the material box onto the conveyor belt.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the acupoint patches are orderly placed in the material box, reducing the probability of the acupoint patches becoming soiled. The first robotic arm then orderly transfers the acupoint patches in the material box to the conveyor belt to facilitate subsequent processing steps, without requiring operators to place the acupoint patches on the conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, the conveyor belt surface is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves along the circumferential direction, the contour of the positioning grooves being adapted to the contour of the acupoint patch, and the first robotic arm taking out the acupoint patch along the material box and placing it in the positioning groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, through the cooperation of the first robotic arm and the positioning groove, the first robotic arm can directly place the acupoint patch into the positioning groove after taking it out of the material box. This makes the position of the acupoint patch placed on the conveyor belt relatively fixed, eliminating the need for operators to adjust the position of the acupoint patch placed on the conveyor belt when placing it.

[0013] Preferably, the heating pack feeding mechanism includes a second robotic arm, a container, and a feeding assembly. The container is provided with a temporary plate. The feeding assembly is used to feed the heating pack located in the container to the temporary plate. The second robotic arm is used to transfer the heating pack located on the temporary plate to the acupoint patch located in the positioning groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the heating packs are stored in a container and then fed to a temporary plate by a feeding component. Subsequently, the heating packs on the temporary plate are transferred to the acupoint patches located in the positioning slot by a second robotic arm. This method has a high degree of automation, reduces the need for operators to participate in the heating pack feeding process, and plays a positive guiding role in improving the production efficiency of acupoint patches with heating packs.

[0015] Preferably, the feeding mechanism further includes a lifting component, which includes a lifting plate and a driving component. The lifting plate is slidably disposed within the receiving box, and the driving component is used to drive the lifting plate to carry the heating pack to rise or fall along the receiving box.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, after the feeding component delivers the heating pack in the container to the temporary plate, the lifting plate is driven by the driving component to carry the heating pack up along the container, so that the next heating pack is located at the feeding component. This makes it easier for the feeding component to deliver the next heating pack in the container to the temporary plate, without the need for the operator to deliver the heating pack to the feeding component.

[0017] Preferably, the inner wall of the container along the height direction is provided with an air passage, the air passage is connected to an inhibitory gas source, and the air passage is provided with a plurality of air holes.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, because the airway is connected to an external source of inhibitory gas, when a heating pack is placed in the container, inert gas is introduced into the container through several air holes on the airway, reducing the oxygen and water vapor content in the container. As a result, the overall heating efficiency of the heating pack is relatively reduced when it is in the container. This reduces the probability of dangerous situations arising from a large number of heating packs accumulating in the container and continuously heating up; or the probability of reduced heating efficiency of the heating pack when the user uses the acupoint patch with the heating pack due to continuous heating.

[0019] Preferably, a temperature sensor is provided inside the container.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the temperature inside the container is detected by a temperature sensor, reducing the probability of abnormal temperature inside the container affecting the heating efficiency of the heating pack, which may occur because the operator cannot detect and deal with the problem in time.

[0021] Preferably, the pressing mechanism includes a support frame, a pressing roller, and a pressure adaptive component. The support frame has a guide groove, the roller shaft of the pressing roller is rotatably supported in the guide groove, and the pressure adaptive component is disposed in the guide groove. The pressure adaptive component is used to adjust the pressure applied by the pressing roller to the acupoint patch and the heating pack when the acupoint patch with the heating pack is placed below the pressing roller.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure adaptive component enables adaptive adjustment of the force applied by the pressure roller to the acupoint patch and the heating pack, thereby improving the stability of the heating pack on the acupoint patch. It also helps to reduce the probability that the acupoint patch with the heating pack cannot pass smoothly along the pressure roller due to excessive force applied by the pressure roller.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. Through the cooperation of the patch feeding mechanism, the glue coating mechanism, the heating pack feeding mechanism and the pressing mechanism, the automatic production process of acupoint patches is realized, reducing the need for operators to participate in the production of acupoint patches, and playing a positive guiding role in improving the production efficiency of acupoint patches with heating packs.

[0025] 2. Through the cooperation of the first robotic arm and the positioning groove, after the first robotic arm takes out the acupoint patch along the material box, it will be placed directly into the positioning groove, without the need for the operator to adjust the position of the acupoint patch on the conveyor belt when placing it on the conveyor belt.

[0026] 3. Because the airway is connected to an external source of inhibiting reactive gases, the probability of a dangerous situation arising from a large number of heating packs accumulating in the container and the continuous heating of the heating packs is reduced; or the probability of a situation where the heating efficiency of the heating packs is reduced when the user uses the acupoint patch with heating packs due to the continuous heating of the heating packs.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0034] This application discloses a fully automated acupoint patch production equipment. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 A fully automatic acupoint patch production equipment includes a frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2 that rotates and is supported on the frame 1. Along the rotation direction of the conveyor belt 2, the frame 1 is sequentially equipped with a patch feeding mechanism 3, an adhesive coating mechanism 4, a heating pack feeding mechanism 5, and a pressing mechanism 6. The patch feeding mechanism 3 is used to place the acupoint patch on the conveyor belt 2, the adhesive coating mechanism 4 is used to apply adhesive to the acupoint patch located on the conveyor belt 2, the heating pack feeding mechanism 5 is used to place the heating pack on the acupoint patch, and the pressing mechanism 6 is used to press the acupoint patch and the heating pack together.

[0035] First, it should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the "fully automatic acupoint patch production equipment" adopts a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), which includes multiple functions such as logic control, timing control, analog control and multi-machine communication, and has a human-machine interface. It can realize the coordinated control of electrical equipment through programming. It is an existing controller, and its specific composition and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Specifically, the two ends of the frame 1 along its length are the inlet end and the outlet end, respectively. Meanwhile, the conveyor belt 2 is set along the length of the frame 1 and is driven by a motor roller drive mechanism. The "motor roller drive mechanism" is a conventional drive component in the field of mechanical transmission. Its specific composition and working principle will not be described in detail here, thereby enabling the conveyor belt 2 to rotate stably along the frame 1.

[0037] Furthermore, the discharge end of frame 1 is connected to the packaging equipment. After the heating pack and the acupoint patch are attached to each other, they are directly sent to the packaging equipment along the discharge end of frame 1 to achieve packaging, thereby stopping the heating pack from heating.

[0038] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The patch feeding mechanism 3 includes a first robotic arm 31 and a feeding box 32. The feeding box 32 is used to hold the acupoint patches, and the first robotic arm 31 is used to transfer the acupoint patches located in the feeding box 32 to the conveyor belt 2 in sequence. The feeding box 32 is located at the feeding end of the frame 1 and is connected to the acupoint patch production equipment. The feeding box 32 is recessed in the thickness direction to form a limiting groove 321 that matches the contour of the acupoint patch. The limiting groove 321 limits the placement position of the acupoint patch along the feeding box 32. That is, after the acupoint patch is produced, it will be directly sent to the feeding box 32 for storage.

[0039] Meanwhile, the end effector of the first robotic arm 31 is equipped with a first pneumatic suction cup 311. The first pneumatic suction cup 311 is used to pick up the acupoint patch located in the limiting groove 321. Through the cooperation of the first pneumatic suction cup 311 and the first robotic arm 31, the acupoint patch in the material box 32 is transferred to the conveyor belt 2.

[0040] Correspondingly, the surface of the conveyor belt 2 is provided with several positioning grooves 21 along the circumferential direction. The outline of the positioning grooves 21 is adapted to the outline of the acupoint patch. The first robot arm 31 takes out the acupoint patch along the material box 32 and places it in the positioning groove 21. The positioning groove 21 is formed by the indentation of the surface of the conveyor belt 2 along the thickness direction. The number of positioning grooves 21 can be increased or decreased according to the actual length of the conveyor belt 2 and the design requirements. Since they are all used to accommodate the acupoint patch, their specific number is not limited here.

[0041] Its function is that when the first robotic arm 31 and the first pneumatic suction cup 311 work together to take out the acupoint patch from the material box 32, it will be placed directly into the positioning groove 21. This makes the position of the first robotic arm 31 and the first pneumatic suction cup 311 when grabbing the acupoint patch and placing it on the conveyor belt 2 relatively fixed, so that the operator does not need to adjust the position of the acupoint patch on the conveyor belt 2 when placing it on the conveyor belt 2. This plays a positive guiding role in improving the placement efficiency of the acupoint patch on the conveyor belt 2.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 1, the glue - applying mechanism 4 is located on the frame 1 between the first manipulator 31 and the discharging end of the frame 1. The glue - applying mechanism 4 is set as a dot - glue machine. The acupoint patch located on the positioning groove 21 is glued by the glue - applying mechanism 4, and the glue - applying shape is in the form of a "square". The "dot - glue machine" is an automated device widely used in industrial production. Its main purpose is to accurately dot, inject, apply, and drip fluids such as glue onto the surface or inside of products to achieve functions such as fixing, sealing, waterproofing, and dust - proofing. It is an existing device and is electrically connected to the PLC. Its specific composition and working principle will not be elaborated here.

[0043] Referring Figures 1-4 , the heating - pack feeding mechanism 5 is located on the frame 1 between the glue - applying mechanism 4 and the discharging end of the frame 1. The heating - pack feeding mechanism 5 includes a second manipulator 51, a storage box 52, and a feeding component 53. A temporary placement plate 521 is provided on the storage box 52. The feeding component 53 is used to send the heating packs located in the storage box 52 to the temporary placement plate 521, and the second manipulator 51 is used to transfer the heating packs located on the temporary placement plate 521 to the acupoint patches located at the positioning groove 21.

[0044] Specifically, a second pneumatic suction cup 511 is installed on the end - effector of the second manipulator 51. The purpose of transferring the heating packs located on the temporary placement plate 521 is completed through the second pneumatic suction cup 511, and the stability is strong.

[0045] Furthermore, a discharge port 523 is opened on the side wall of the top of the storage box 52 facing the conveyor belt 2, and the discharge port 523 is at the same height as the temporary placement plate 521. After the feeding component 53 pushes the heating packs located in the storage box 52 along the discharge port 523, they will reach the temporary placement plate 521, so as to facilitate the second manipulator �1 to cooperate with the second pneumatic suction cup 511 to grab the heating packs onto the acupoint patches located at the positioning groove 21. The degree of automation is high, reducing the necessity for operators to participate in the heating - pack feeding process, and playing a positive guiding role in improving the efficiency of placing the heating packs on the acupoint patches.

[0046] Meanwhile, the feeding component 53 includes a first driving cylinder 531 and a push plate 532. The first driving cylinder 531 is installed on the storage box 52. The piston rod of the first driving cylinder 531 movably penetrates through the storage box 52 and extends into the interior of the storage box 52. The push plate 532 is fixedly connected to the end of the piston rod of the first driving cylinder 531. When the piston rod of the first driving cylinder 531 moves, the push plate 532 fixed to the piston rod of the first driving cylinder 531 will move synchronously with the piston rod of the first driving cylinder 531, thereby achieving the purpose of pushing the heating packs located in the storage box 52 along the discharge port 523 to the temporary placement plate 521. And each time the piston rod of the first driving cylinder 531 moves, only one heating pack can be pushed to the temporary placement plate 521. The mechanical structure is simple and the stability is good.

[0047] Furthermore, an air passage 522 is provided on the inner wall of the container 52 along the height direction. The air passage 522 is connected to an inhibitory gas source. Several air holes 5221 are opened on the air passage 522. The air holes 5221 are evenly distributed along the length of the air passage 522 and face the inside of the container 52.

[0048] The "suppressing reaction gas source" can be carbon dioxide or nitrogen. In this embodiment, to reduce production costs, nitrogen is preferred as the suppressing reaction gas source. Because the airway 522 is connected to the suppressing reaction gas source, when a heating pack is placed inside the container 52, inert gas is introduced into the container 52 through several air holes 5221 along the airway 522. This reduces the oxygen and water vapor content inside the container 52, thereby relatively reducing the overall heating efficiency of the heating pack when it is inside the container 52. This reduces the probability of a dangerous situation arising from a large number of heating packs accumulating inside the container 52 and continuously heating up; or the probability of a decrease in the heating efficiency of the heating pack when the user uses the acupoint patch with the heating pack due to continuous heating.

[0049] Correspondingly, a temperature sensor is installed inside the container 52. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the PLC. The temperature sensor detects the temperature inside the container 52. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the container 52 is higher than the set value (e.g., 25°C), it sends a detection signal to the PLC. The PLC will quickly issue an alarm and control the suppressing gas source to increase the release rate of the gas, so that the container 52 is quickly filled with nitrogen. This will rapidly reduce the oxygen content inside the container 52, thereby slowing down the chemical reaction rate of the heating pack. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the container 52 returns to normal, the PLC will control the suppressing gas source to slow down the release efficiency of nitrogen, so as to save nitrogen.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The feeding mechanism also includes a lifting component 54, which includes a lifting plate 541 and a driving component 542. The lifting plate 541 is slidably disposed in the housing 52, and the driving component 542 is used to drive the lifting plate 541 to carry the heating pack to rise or fall along the housing 52.

[0051] Specifically, the drive component 542 includes a servo motor 5421, a drive screw 5422, and a threaded sleeve 5423. The servo motor 5421 is mounted on the frame 1. The drive screw 5422 is coaxially fixed with the output shaft of the servo motor 5421, and the end of the drive screw 5422 away from the servo motor 5421 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. The threaded sleeve 5423 is threadedly engaged with the drive screw 5422.

[0052] Furthermore, a sliding groove 524 is provided through the side wall of the housing 52 along the height direction. The threaded sleeve 5423 passes through the sliding groove 524 and is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 541. Therefore, when the output shaft of the servo motor 5421 rotates, it will drive the drive screw 5422, which is fixed coaxially with the servo motor 5421, to rotate synchronously along the frame 1. Since the threaded sleeve 5423 is threadedly engaged with the drive screw 5422, it will drive the threaded sleeve 5423 to move along the drive screw 5422. Since the threaded sleeve 5423 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 541, it will drive the lifting plate 541 and the threaded sleeve 5423 to move synchronously, so as to achieve the purpose of raising or lowering the heating pack located on the lifting plate 541 along the housing 52.

[0053] Meanwhile, in order to improve the stability of the lifting plate 541 when it slides along the housing 52, a sliding groove 525 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 52 along the height direction, and a slider 526 is provided on the side wall of the lifting plate 541, and the slider 526 slides and cooperates with the sliding groove 525.

[0054] Therefore, when the heating pack located in the housing 52 is pushed onto the temporary plate 521 by the cooperation of the first drive cylinder 531 and the push plate 532, the output shaft of the servo motor 5421 will rotate to drive the lifting plate 541 to carry the heating pack and rise along the housing 52. The height of the rise is the same as the thickness of the heating pack, so that the first drive cylinder 531 and the piston rod can drive the push plate 532 to push the heating pack located in the housing 52 onto the temporary plate 521 again, without the need for the operator to send the heating pack to the push plate 532.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pressing mechanism 6 includes a support frame 61, a pressing roller 62, a pressing roller (not shown in the figure), and a pressure adaptive component 63. The support frame 61 has a guide groove 611. The roller shaft of the pressing roller 62 is rotatably supported in the guide groove 611. The pressing roller is located below the conveyor belt 2 and is rotatably supported on the frame 1. At the same time, the pressing roller abuts against the surface of the conveyor belt 2 away from the surface with the positioning groove 21. The pressure adaptive component 63 is disposed in the guide groove 611. The pressure adaptive component 63 is used to adjust the pressure applied by the pressing roller 62 and the pressing roller to the acupoint patch and the heating pack when the acupoint patch with the heating pack is placed below the pressing roller 62.

[0056] First, it should be noted that the support frame 61 is mounted on the frame 1 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 2, and the support frame 61 has guide grooves 611 at both ends along the width direction. At the same time, pressure adaptive components 63 are respectively installed in the two guide grooves 611. Since they have the same function, the following will describe the cooperation relationship between any one of the guide grooves 611 and the pressure adaptive component 63.

[0057] The pressure adaptive component 63 includes a reset spring 631 and a counterweight 632. The reset spring 631 is installed in the guide groove 611. Then, the roller shaft of the pressure roller 62 is placed in the guide groove 611. At this time, the roller shaft of the pressure roller 62 and the reset spring 631 are in contact. The reset spring 631 stores elastic potential energy under the action of the weight of the pressure roller 62 itself.

[0058] Furthermore, after placing the return spring 631 and the roller shaft of the pressure roller 62 into the guide groove 611 respectively, the counterweight 632 is placed into the guide groove 611 again. At this time, the counterweight 632 will apply pressure to the pressure roller 62.

[0059] Therefore, when the conveyor belt 2 carrying the acupoint patch with the heating pack moves along the frame 1 and reaches the pressing roller 62 and the abutting roller, because the heating pack and the acupoint patch have a certain thickness when combined, when the pressing roller 62 applies a force to the acupoint patch with the heating pack, the abutting roller applies a reverse force to the conveyor belt 2. The pressing roller 62 will rise a certain height along the guide groove 611, and at the same time, the counterweight 632 continuously applies pressure to the pressing roller 62, so as to achieve the purpose of bonding the heating pack and the acupoint patch together.

[0060] Therefore, by cooperating with the reset spring 631 and the counterweight 632, the pressing roller 62 can cooperate with the abutment roller to adhere the heating packs and acupoint patches of different thicknesses to each other. It also helps to reduce the probability that the acupoint patch with the heating pack attached cannot pass smoothly along the pressing roller 62 due to excessive force applied by the pressing roller 62. It is highly practical.

[0061] In another embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 The pressing mechanism 6 includes a second driving cylinder, a pressure plate 65, and a pressing plate. The second driving cylinder 64 is mounted on the support frame 61, and the piston rod of the second driving cylinder 64 is vertically oriented towards the conveyor belt 2. The pressure plate 65 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the second driving cylinder 64. At the same time, the pressing plate is located on the frame 1 between the annular rotating areas of the conveyor belt 2, and the pressing plate is located below the pressure plate 65. The implementation principle is as follows: when the conveyor belt 2 carries the acupoint patch with the heating pack and reaches below the pressure plate 65, the piston rod of the second driving cylinder 64 extends to drive the pressure plate 65 to move synchronously with the piston rod of the second driving cylinder 64, thereby driving the pressure plate 65 to move towards the pressing plate until the pressure plate 65 abuts against the heating pack. At this time, the pressing plate applies a reverse force to the heating pack, so as to achieve the purpose of sticking the heating pack and the acupoint patch together.

[0062] The implementation principle of a fully automatic acupoint patch production equipment in this application embodiment is as follows: the acupoint patch is transferred to the conveyor belt 2 by the patch feeding mechanism 3, the adhesive coating mechanism 4 applies adhesive to the acupoint patch on the conveyor belt 2, and the heating pack feeding mechanism 5 places the heating pack on the acupoint patch after adhesive application. Then, the pressing mechanism 6 presses the acupoint patch and the heating pack together, thereby realizing the automatic production process of acupoint patches, reducing the necessity for operators to participate in the production of acupoint patches, and playing a positive guiding role in improving the production efficiency of acupoint patches with heating packs.

[0063] 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.
