Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pharmaceutical equipment technology, and in particular relates to an automatic feeding mechanism for pillow packaging boxes. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of the pharmaceutical industry, people are demanding increasingly faster drug packaging speeds. Current technologies lack adjustable material storage mechanisms, making it difficult to match the feeding of pillow packaging boxes of different sizes. Furthermore, the automatic feeding mechanism for pillow packaging boxes is slow and lacks synchronization, making it difficult to guarantee the subsequent high-speed packaging requirements.
[0003] Therefore, we need to design an automatic replenishment mechanism for pillow packaging boxes to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a feeding device that is faster, more synchronized, and more controllable.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An automatic replenishment mechanism for pillow packaging boxes includes a base plate with an adjustment groove. At least two support rods are mounted on the adjustment groove, and at least two connecting strips are mounted on the two support rods. An adjustable material magazine is positioned between the support rods and the connecting strips. A support plate is positioned below the adjustable material magazine, and a push plate is slidably mounted on the support plate. The push plate reciprocates below the adjustable material magazine. A mounting frame is also provided on the base plate, and a slider and a motor are mounted on the mounting frame. The slider is connected to the push plate and has a guide groove. A crank is provided at the output end of the motor, and the crank has several adjustment holes. A connecting block is rotatably mounted on each adjustment hole, and the connecting block is located within the guide groove.
[0007] Preferably, a bearing plate is fixedly mounted on one of the support rods, a cylinder is fixedly mounted on the bearing plate, and a pressure block is fixedly mounted on the output end of the cylinder.
[0008] This setup uses a cylinder to move the pressure block and generate vibration, ensuring that the pillow packs fall smoothly and orderly onto the tray, guaranteeing the smooth replenishment of the pillow packs, and facilitating the subsequent pillow pack pushing process.
[0009] Preferably, a fixing plate is provided on one of the support rods, and a sensor is provided on the fixing plate.
[0010] This setting ensures that the material storage can be replenished promptly when it is low on materials.
[0011] Preferably, the support rod is provided with an adjusting block, and the connecting strip is slidably connected to the support rod through the adjusting block.
[0012] Preferably, the adjustable material storage includes a left stop bar, a side stop bar, and a right stop bar, wherein the left stop bar is slidably disposed on one of the support rods, the right stop bar is slidably disposed on another opposite support rod, and the side stop bar is slidably disposed on the connecting strip, and the number of the left stop bar, the side stop bar, and the right stop bar is at least two.
[0013] This setup allows the left, right, and side stops to be adjusted to the appropriate spacing using adjusting blocks, connecting strips, and support rods, ensuring that the pillowcase can be easily inserted.
[0014] Furthermore, an adjusting block is provided at the bottom of the left or right stop bar, which is away from the push plate, and the distance between the bottom of the adjusting block and the support plate is not less than the height of the push plate.
[0015] With this setup, the amount of material discharged from the pillow bag at one time can be controlled by adjusting the height of the adjustable stop.
[0016] Preferably, the mounting bracket includes a mounting plate and two support blocks. One side of each of the two support blocks is fixedly connected to the base plate. A guide rod is provided between the two support blocks. The slider is slidably disposed on the guide rod and reciprocates between the two support blocks along the slider. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the other opposite side of the two support blocks. The motor is fixedly disposed on the mounting plate.
[0017] Furthermore, the substrate is also provided with a pusher groove, which is located between the two support blocks. A connecting plate is slidably disposed in the pusher groove, and the connecting plate is connected to the pusher plate and the slider respectively.
[0018] This setup enables the connection between the slider and the push plate.
[0019] Preferably, the length of the crank does not exceed half the length of the guide groove.
[0020] This design prevents the connecting block from sliding out of the guide groove when it is at the very end of the crank.
[0021] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:
[0022] This invention improves the feeding method of the pillow packaging box replenishment mechanism. An adjustable material magazine allows the mechanism to meet the needs of different sizes and specifications. A servo motor provides stable and reliable power output. The position of the connecting block on the crank can be adjusted via the adjustment hole. With the servo motor speed remaining constant, the moving distance and speed of the push plate can be adjusted to meet the replenishment speed requirements of different medicine pillows. Furthermore, it achieves better synchronization with subsequent boxing, ensuring the speed of subsequent boxing, reducing error rates, and improving efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0034] Example: Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatic replenishment mechanism for pillow packaging boxes includes a base plate 9, an adjustment groove 26 on the base plate 9, at least two support rods 10 on the adjustment groove 26, an adjustment block 15 on the support rods 10, at least two connecting strips 11 on the two support rods 10, the connecting strips 11 being slidably connected to the support rods 10 through the adjustment block 15, and an adjustable material magazine between the support rods 10 and the connecting strips 11.
[0035] Specifically, the adjustable material storage compartment includes a left stop bar 12, a side stop bar 13, and a right stop bar 14. The left stop bar 12 is slidably mounted on one of the support rods 10, and the right stop bar 14 is slidably mounted on another opposite support rod 10. With this configuration, the left stop bar 12, the right stop bar 14, and the side stop bar 13 can be adjusted to a suitable distance using the adjusting block 15, the connecting strip 11, and the support rod 10, ensuring that the pillow bag can be smoothly inserted.
[0036] like Figure 3As shown, the side stop bar 13 is slidably mounted on the connecting bar 11. There are at least two left stop bars 12, side stop bars 13 and right stop bars 14. All the left stop bars 12, side stop bars 13 and right stop bars 14 together enclose the placement area A of the pillow packaging box on the adjustable material warehouse.
[0037] The adjustable material hopper is equipped with a tray 17 below it, and a pusher 18 is slidably mounted on the tray 17. The pusher 18 moves back and forth below the adjustable material hopper.
[0038] Furthermore, an adjusting block 16 is provided at the bottom of the left stop 12 or the right stop 14, which is away from the push plate 18. The distance between the bottom of the adjusting block 16 and the support plate 17 is not less than the height of the push plate 18. With this setting, the single discharge amount of the pillow bag can be controlled by adjusting the height of the adjusting block 16.
[0039] The base plate 9 is also provided with a mounting frame, which includes a mounting plate 2 and two support blocks 4. One side of the two support blocks 4 is fixedly connected to the base plate 9. A guide rod 7 is provided between the two support blocks 4. The slider 5 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 7 and moves back and forth between the two support blocks 4 along the slider 5. A linear bearing 6 is provided at the connection between the slider 5 and the guide rod 7 to reduce the friction during sliding, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. The mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the other opposite side of the two support blocks 4. A motor 1 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 2. The motor 1 is a servo motor. The base plate 9 is also provided with a pusher groove 25, which is located between the two support blocks 4. A connecting plate 19 is slidably mounted in the pusher groove 25. The connecting plate 19 is connected to the pusher plate 18 and the slider 5 respectively, ensuring a stable connection between the slider 5 and the pusher plate 18.
[0040] A guide groove 8 is provided on the slider 5, and a crank 3 is provided at the output end of the motor 1. Several adjustment holes 28 are provided on the crank 3. The adjustment holes 28 are distributed along the extension direction of the crank 3. A connecting block 27 is rotatably provided on the adjustment hole 28. The connecting block 27 is located in the guide groove 8. The length of the crank 3 does not exceed half the length of the guide groove 8. This arrangement can prevent the connecting block 27 from sliding out of the end of the guide groove 8 when it is located at the very end of the crank 3.
[0041] Specifically, a bearing plate is fixedly installed on one of the support rods 10, and a cylinder 21 is fixedly installed on the bearing plate. A pressure block 20 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 21. This arrangement can generate vibration by pushing the pressure block 20 with the cylinder 21, ensuring that the pillow bag can fall smoothly and orderly onto the tray 17, ensuring the smooth replenishment of the pillow bag, and facilitating the subsequent pillow bag push plate 18.
[0042] Specifically, a fixing plate 24 is installed on one of the support rods 10, and a sensor 23 is installed on the fixing plate 24. This arrangement can ensure that the material silo can remind you to replenish the material in time when it is out of stock.
[0043] This utility model relates to an automatic pillow packaging box replenishment mechanism, offering a faster, more synchronized, and more controllable replenishment device compared to manual replenishment of pillow bags. This invention enables high-speed, orderly replenishment of pillow bags, providing a more synchronized supply of materials to the subsequent boxing system, thereby achieving high-speed boxing and reducing error rates. The adjustable material bin design allows the automatic pillow packaging box replenishment mechanism to accommodate pillow bags of different sizes and specifications. The high speed and controllability of the servo motor make high-speed and controllable pillow bag replenishment possible.
[0044] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the distance between the two support rods 10 is adjusted by adjusting the groove 26 according to the size of the pillow packaging box, and then the distance between the two connecting strips 11 is adjusted by adjusting the adjustment block so that the pillow packaging box can be placed in the area A between the left stop rod 12, the right stop rod 14 and the side stop rod 13.
[0045] Next, adjust the position of the adjusting block 16 so that the distance from the bottom of the adjusting block 16 to the support plate 17 is slightly greater than the height of the pillow packaging box. Then start the motor 1. After the motor 1 rotates, it will drive the crank 3 to rotate. After the crank 3 rotates, it will drive the connecting block 27 to move in a circle. Since the connecting block 27 is located in the guide groove 8 on the slider 5, and the guide groove 8 is restricted by the guide rod 7, the connecting block 27 will move back and forth in the guide groove 8 during the circular motion. At the same time, the slider 5 will also move back and forth along the guide rod 7. When the slider 5 moves back and forth, it will drive the connecting plate 19 to move in the pusher groove 25. The connecting plate 19 will drive the pusher plate 18 from one side of the adjustable material magazine to the bottom of the adjustable material magazine, and then exit and re-enter, and so on.
[0046] As the pusher plate 18 moves from one side of the adjustable material storage to below the adjustable material storage, the pillow packaging box at the bottom of the adjustable material storage will be pushed out from below the adjusting block 16 by the pusher plate 18. After the pusher plate 18 is pushed out from below the adjustable material storage, the pillow packaging box will fall under the action of gravity. Continuous material discharge is achieved by the pusher plate 18 pushing it repeatedly.
[0047] It should be noted that while the push plate 18 is moving, the cylinder 21 will also drive the pressure block 20 to move. The movement of the pressure block 20 will generate vibration, which will be transmitted to the adjustable material hopper through the support plate 22. This ensures that the pillow packaging box can fall smoothly in the adjustable material hopper. If the height of the pillow packaging box in the adjustable material hopper drops below the sensor 23, the sensor 23 will send a signal to remind the staff to replenish the material in time.
[0048] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
