[0008] Furthermore, a control relay and an alarm are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support base. The micro switch is electrically connected to the control coil of the control relay, and the control relay is electrically connected to the alarm.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the alarm circuit can be effectively triggered.

[0010] Furthermore, two belt conveyors are respectively installed at both ends of the retaining seat.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a belt conveyor can be used to linearly transport ampoules.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjustable bracket includes a base, two slide rods are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, a first screw is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the base, a first movable seat is slidably sleeved on the outside of the slide rods, and the first screw passes through the threaded hole of the first movable seat.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the first movable seat can be adjusted by the first screw.

[0014] Furthermore, two rails are integrally connected to the upper surface of the first movable seat, and a second movable seat is slidably connected to the outside of the rails. A first linkage block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second movable seat, and a threaded hole is provided on the outer surface of the first linkage block. Two base blocks are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the first movable seat, and a second screw is rotatably installed between the two base blocks. The second screw passes through the threaded hole on the outer surface of the first linkage block.

[0018] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. This utility model allows the device to be installed on the ampoule conveyor line during use. The belt conveyors at both ends of the holder then stably convey the ampoules. When an ampoule passes through the transfer groove in the middle of the holder, one end of the touch strip abuts against the surface of the continuously conveying ampoule. At this time, the touch strip presses against the trigger end of the micro switch, keeping the micro switch closed. When a broken or tilted ampoule occurs, the touch strip is no longer limited. Under the action of the elastic structure, the touch strip deflects. The touch strip no longer exerts force on the trigger end of the micro switch, and the micro switch closes the power supply circuit of the control relay coil, which in turn closes the working circuit of the alarm. The alarm then emits an alarm signal to alert the operator of the broken or tilted ampoule. This structure allows for real-time detection, and the false alarm rate is significantly reduced compared to existing structures, effectively improving its practicality.

[0020] 2. This utility model allows for adjustment of the adjustable bracket according to the type of ampoule to be tested, thereby adjusting the microswitch to a specified position. During adjustment, the first screw, second screw, and third screw can be turned sequentially. Since the first movable seat is slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod, the rotation of the first screw can move the first movable seat along the axial direction of the first screw. Since the second movable seat is slidably connected to the track on the first movable seat, the rotation of the second screw can move the second movable seat along the axial direction of the second screw. Since the third movable seat is slidably connected to the track on the second movable seat, rotating the third screw can move the third movable seat along the axial direction of the third screw. Furthermore, because the first, second, and third screws are perpendicularly distributed, the position of the microswitch can be adjusted along the X, Y, and Z axes. The entire adjustment operation is flexible and convenient, effectively meeting the testing needs of different types of ampoules, further improving its practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The method of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 An ampoule breakage and tipping detection device includes a support base 1, a retaining seat 4 fixedly installed at the middle position of the upper surface of the support base 1, a transfer groove provided at the middle position of the retaining seat 4, an adjustable bracket 3 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support base 1, a micro switch 15 fixedly installed at the mounting position of the adjustable bracket 3, a touch strip 16 provided on the micro switch 15, one end of the touch strip 16 is placed above the transfer groove of the retaining seat 4 and in contact with the side surface of the ampoule moving in the transfer groove, a control relay 6 and an alarm 5 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support base 1, the micro switch 15 is electrically connected to the control coil of the control relay 6, the control relay 6 is electrically connected to the alarm 5, and two belt conveyors 2 are respectively provided at both ends of the retaining seat 4. The device can be installed on the ampoule conveying line during use, and then the belt conveyors 2 at both ends of the retaining seat 4 can be used to detect the breakage and tipping of the ampoule. The ampoule is stably conveyed. When the ampoule passes through the transfer groove in the middle of the holder 4, one end of the touch strip 16 can abut against the surface of the continuously conveyed ampoule. At this time, the touch strip 16 can press the trigger end of the micro switch 15, and the micro switch 15 is in the closed state. When a broken or overturned ampoule occurs in the continuously moving ampoule, one end of the touch strip 16 is no longer limited. Under the action of the elastic structure, the touch strip 16 deflects. At this time, the touch strip 16 no longer exerts force on the trigger end of the micro switch 15. The micro switch 15 closes the power supply circuit of the control coil of the control relay 6, and the control relay 6 closes the working circuit of the alarm 5. The alarm 5 emits an alarm signal to remind the staff that an ampoule has broken or overturned. This structure can perform real-time detection operation, and the false alarm rate can be greatly reduced compared with the existing structure, effectively improving its practicality.

[0027] Reference Figure 2The adjustable bracket 3 includes a base 7. Two slide rods 9 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 7. A first screw 8 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the base 7. A first movable seat 10 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the slide rods 9. The first screw 8 passes through the threaded hole of the first movable seat 10. Two rails are integrally connected to the upper surface of the first movable seat 10, and a second movable seat 12 is slidably connected to the outside of the rails. A first linkage block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second movable seat 12, and a threaded hole is provided on the outer surface of the first linkage block. Two base blocks are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the first movable seat 10. A second screw 11 is rotatably mounted between the two base blocks, and the second screw 11 passes through a threaded hole on the outer surface of the first linkage block. Two rails are integrally connected to the upper surface of the second movable seat 12, and a third movable seat 14 is slidably connected to the outside of the rails. A second linkage block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the third movable seat 14, and a threaded hole is provided on the outer surface of the second linkage block. Two base blocks are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second movable seat 12, and a third screw 13 is rotatably mounted between the two base blocks, and the third screw 13 passes through a threaded hole on the outer surface of the second linkage block. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a micro-movement mechanism.) The micro switch 15 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the third movable seat 14. During use, the adjustable bracket 3 can be adjusted according to the type of ampoule to be tested, thereby adjusting the micro switch 15 to a specified position. During adjustment, the first screw 8, the second screw 11, and the third screw 13 can be turned sequentially. Since the first movable seat 10 is slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod 9, the rotation of the first screw 8 can drive the first movable seat 10 to move along the axial direction of the first screw 8. Since the second movable seat 12 is slidably connected to the track on the first movable seat 10, the second screw 11... The rotation of the screw 13 can drive the second movable seat 12 to move along the axial direction of the second screw 11. The third movable seat 14 is slidably connected to the track of the second movable seat 12. Therefore, rotating the third screw 13 can drive the third movable seat 14 to move along the axial direction of the third screw 13. Since the first screw 8, the second screw 11, and the third screw 13 are perpendicular to each other, the position of the micro switch 15 can be adjusted in the X, Y, and Z axes. The entire adjustment operation is flexible and convenient, and can effectively meet the testing needs of different types of ampoules, thus further improving its practicality.

[0028] Working Principle: In use, the device is first installed on the ampoule conveyor line. The adjustable bracket 3 is adjusted according to the type of ampoule to be tested, thereby adjusting the microswitch 15 to the designated position. During adjustment, the first screw 8, second screw 11, and third screw 13 can be turned sequentially. Since the first movable seat 10 is slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod 9, the rotation of the first screw 8 can move the first movable seat 10 along the axial direction of the first screw 8. Since the second movable seat 12 is slidably connected to the track on the first movable seat 10, the rotation of the second screw 11 can move the second movable seat 12 along the axial direction of the second screw 11. Since the third movable seat 14 is slidably connected to the track on the second movable seat 12, rotating the third screw 13 can move the third movable seat 14 along the axial direction of the third screw 13. Because the first screw 8, second screw 11, and third screw 13 are perpendicular to each other, the microswitch 15 can be adjusted in the X and Y directions. The Z-axis upward position adjustment operation is flexible and convenient, and can effectively meet the testing requirements of different types of ampoules. Then, the belt conveyors 2 at both ends of the retainer 4 are used to stably transport the ampoules. When the ampoule passes through the transfer groove in the middle of the retainer 4, one end of the touch strip 16 can abut against the surface of the continuously transported ampoule. At this time, the touch strip 16 can press the trigger end of the micro switch 15, and the micro switch 15 is in the closed state. When a broken or overturned ampoule occurs in the continuously moving ampoule, one end of the touch strip 16 is no longer limited. Under the action of the elastic structure, the touch strip 16 deflects. At this time, the touch strip 16 no longer exerts force on the trigger end of the micro switch 15. The micro switch 15 closes the power supply circuit of the control coil of the control relay 6, and the control relay 6 closes the working circuit of the alarm 5. The alarm 5 emits an alarm signal to remind the staff that an ampoule has broken or overturned. This structure can perform real-time detection operations.

Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
