Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical production technology, specifically to an automatic vial placement and tray placement device. Background Technology

[0002] A vial is a type of injection vial made of borosilicate glass or soda-lime glass (molded). It is a small bottle sealed with a rubber stopper and an aluminum-plastic composite cap. Penicillin was originally mostly contained in vials, hence the name "vials". After being cleaned and sterilized at 350°C for at least 5 minutes, the vials are filled with the drug solution, stoppered, and capped before being conveyed to the receiving room. In the receiving room, the vials need to be placed into trays. This process is usually done manually, but because there are a large number of vials to be placed on the trays, manual placement is inefficient, time-consuming, and does not meet the requirements of automated production. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides an automatic vial tray placement device, thus solving the aforementioned issues.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic vial tray placement device, comprising a first conveying channel, a vial sorting tray, a second conveying channel, and a base, wherein the vial sorting tray is located between the first and second conveying channels, and the second conveying channel is connected to the base;

[0005] The base is provided with a first telescopic rod, a second telescopic rod, a PLC controller, a first push plate, and a second push plate. The telescopic end of the first telescopic rod is connected to the first push plate, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic rod is connected to the second push plate. A tray is placed on the base.

[0006] Preferably, the first push plate is located at the output end of the second conveying channel. The first push plate is L-shaped. A contact sensor is embedded in the end of the first push plate facing the second conveying channel, and a first photoelectric sensor is embedded in the end of the first push plate away from the first telescopic rod.

[0007] Preferably, the second push plate is L-shaped, with a second photoelectric sensor embedded in the short side of the second push plate, and multiple arc-shaped grooves opened on the long side of the second push plate facing the tray. Two symmetrically arranged connecting plates are fixed at the upper end of the second push plate, and the lower end face of the second push plate is flush with the upper end of the tray.

[0008] Preferably, the right end of the second push plate is provided with two columns fixedly connected to the base, and a guide rod is fixed on the column, the guide rod passing through the connecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, a side plate is fixed to the left end of the base, one end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the column, the other end of the column is fixedly connected to the side plate, a baffle is fixed on the base, and a notch is provided on the base.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the tray is provided with a recessed groove, and multiple dividing strips are fixed on the recessed groove, with the left and right ends of the dividing strips gradually tightening.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. The bottle sorting tray can separate adjacent vials on the first conveying channel at equal intervals to prevent them from being squeezed together during the conveying and placement process, which could lead to breakage of the vials. The first telescopic rod and the first push plate work together to arrange the vials in sequence, making it easier for the second push plate to push the vials into the tray.

[0013] 2. The combination of the arc groove and the separator strip facilitates the orderly movement of the vials during the movement of the second push plate, thereby ensuring that the vials are neatly placed in the tray. The notch on the base makes it easy to quickly remove the tray from the base. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An automatic vial placement device includes a first conveying channel 1, a vial sorting tray 2, a second conveying channel 3, and a base 4. The vial sorting tray 2 is located between the first conveying channel 1 and the second conveying channel 3. The second conveying channel 3 is connected to the base 4. The first conveying channel 1, the vial sorting tray 2, and the second conveying channel 3 are existing devices. Both the first conveying channel 1 and the second conveying channel 3 include a conveyor belt and a guide plate. The conveyor belt is driven by a motor, which moves the vials. The vial sorting tray 2 has notches evenly distributed on it. The vial sorting tray 2 is driven by an external motor to rotate. The vial sorting tray 2 can separate adjacent vials on the first conveying channel 1 at equal intervals, preventing the vials from colliding with each other during the conveying process of the first conveying channel 1 and causing the vials to break.

[0021] The base 4 is equipped with a first telescopic rod 41, a second telescopic rod 42, a PLC controller 43, a first push plate 45, and a second push plate 46. The telescopic end of the first telescopic rod 41 is connected to the first push plate 45. When the first telescopic rod 41 extends, it pushes the first push plate 45 to move. The first push plate 45 pushes the vials in its position to the front of the second push plate 46 in sequence. The telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 42 is connected to the second push plate 46. A tray 5 is placed on the base 4. When the second telescopic rod 42 extends, it pushes the vials in front of the second push plate 46 onto the tray 5, thus completing the placement of the vials and saving manpower.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first push plate 45 is located at the output end of the second conveying channel 3. The first push plate 45 is L-shaped. A contact sensor 451 is embedded in the end of the first push plate 45 facing the second conveying channel 3, and a first photoelectric sensor 452 is embedded in the end of the first push plate 45 away from the first telescopic rod 41. The contact sensor 451 is used to detect whether the vial is in position. When the vial reaches the position of the first push plate 45, the contact sensor 451 detects the vial and transmits a signal to the first telescopic rod 41 to extend and push the vial in front of the second push plate 46. The first photoelectric sensor 452 is used to control the distance the contact sensor 451 moves. The distance of each movement of the first photoelectric sensor 452 is set, and is set sequentially from small to large, for example:

[0023] The first push plate 45 moves for the first time: the short side of the first photoelectric sensor 452 and the second photoelectric sensor 461 come into contact. At this time, the vial comes to the front end of the first arc groove 462. After reaching the position, the first photoelectric sensor 452 transmits the signal to the first telescopic rod 41 to retract the first telescopic rod 41.

[0024] The first push plate 45 moves for the second time: the first photoelectric sensor 452 measures the distance of the short side of the second photoelectric sensor 461. After reaching the first set distance, the first telescopic rod 41 stops extending. At this time, the vial comes to the front end of the second arc groove 462. After reaching the position, the first photoelectric sensor 452 transmits a signal to the first telescopic rod 41 to retract the first telescopic rod 41.

[0025] ...

[0026] The first push plate 45 moves for the Nth time: the first photoelectric sensor 452 measures the distance of the short side of the second photoelectric sensor 461. After reaching the Nth set distance, the first telescopic rod 41 stops extending. At this time, the vial comes to the front end of the last arc groove 462. After reaching the position, the first photoelectric sensor 452 transmits a signal to the first telescopic rod 41 to retract the first telescopic rod 41.

[0027] The second push plate 46 is L-shaped. The short side of the second push plate 46 is embedded with a second photoelectric sensor 461. The long side of the second push plate 46 facing the tray 5 has multiple arc-shaped grooves 462. The first photoelectric sensor 452 transmits the signal to the second telescopic rod 42. After the first telescopic rod 41 is fully retracted, the second telescopic rod 42 extends. The extension of the second telescopic rod 42 drives the second push plate 46 to move. The second push plate 46 pushes the vial at its front end into the tray 5.

[0028] The second photoelectric sensor 461 on the short side of the second push plate 46 is used to sense objects and then control the retraction of the second telescopic rod 42. After the second push plate 46 moves for the first time, the second push plate 46 pushes the first row of vials onto the tray 5. When the second photoelectric sensor 461 detects the edge of the side plate 47, the second photoelectric sensor 461 transmits a signal to the second telescopic rod 42, causing the second telescopic rod 42 to drive the second push plate 46 to retract.

[0029] After the second telescopic rod 42 moves for the second time, the second push plate 46 pushes the second row of vials onto the tray 5. When the second photoelectric sensor 461 detects the first row of vials, the second photoelectric sensor 461 transmits a signal to the second telescopic rod 42, causing the second telescopic rod 42 to drive the second push plate 46 to retract.

[0030] ...

[0031] Once tray 5 is full of vials, replace it with an empty tray 5.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The upper end of the second push plate 46 is fixed with two symmetrically arranged connecting plates 463. The lower end of the second push plate 46 is flush with the upper end of the tray 5. The right end of the second push plate 46 is provided with two columns 44 fixedly connected to the base 4. Guide rods 49 are fixed on the columns 44. The guide rods 49 pass through the connecting plates 463 and slide on the guide rods 49. During the movement of the second push plate 46, the guide rods 49 guide the movement of the second push plate 46 to prevent the second push plate 46 from deviating during the movement, which would prevent the vials from being pushed neatly into the tray 5. The left end of the base 4 is fixed with a side plate 47. One end of the guide rod 49 is fixedly connected to the column 44, and the other end of the column 44 is fixedly connected to the side plate 47. A baffle 48 is fixed on the base 4, and a notch is provided on the base 4. The side plate 47 and the baffle 48 work together to limit the position of the tray 5, so that the tray 5 can be accurately placed in the same position each time it is placed, preventing the vials from being unable to be pushed into the tray 5 due to misplacement of the tray 5. At the same time, the notch on the base 4 makes it easy to quickly remove the tray 5 from the base 4 and replace the tray 5. A groove 51 is provided at the upper end of the tray 5, and multiple dividing strips 52 are fixed on the groove 51. The left and right ends of the dividing strips 52 gradually tighten. The dividing strips 52 guide the vials. When the second push plate 46 pushes the vials, the dividing strips 52 separate the vials to prevent the vials from being disordered during the process of the second push plate 46 pushing the vials.

[0033] In use, the first conveying channel 1 pushes adjacent vials to the vial sorting tray 2. The vial sorting tray 2 then conveys the vials equidistantly to the second conveying channel 3. The second conveying channel 3 conveys the vials one by one to the first push plate 45. The first telescopic rod 41 cooperates with the first push plate 45 to convey the vials one by one to the arc-shaped groove 462 of the second push plate 46. After completion, the second push plate 46 cooperates with the second telescopic rod 42 to push the vials onto the tray 5, thus completing the placement of the vials. When the tray 5 is full of vials, it can be replaced with an empty tray 5.
