Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medicine bottle clamping devices, and in particular to a medicine bottle clamping structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, bottle grippers play a crucial role in automated equipment within the medical industry, their core function being to ensure the safety and stability of bottles during transport, sorting, and packaging. With the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry and the increasing level of automation, the demand for bottle grippers is growing daily. While traditional rigid grippers or robotic arms can meet basic grasping needs, their fixed structure makes them difficult to adapt to bottles of different sizes and shapes, limiting their application in diverse scenarios.
[0003] In related technologies, the industry typically uses fixed-size clamps to hold medicine bottles.
[0004] The aforementioned technologies have the following drawbacks: traditional clamping methods often rely on fixed geometric dimensions to match specific types of bottles, which is not effective when clamping medicines of different diameters. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to clamp medicine bottles of different sizes, this application provides a medicine bottle clamping structure.
[0006] The medicine bottle clamping structure provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A medicine bottle clamping structure includes an operating table and a clamping unit. The clamping unit includes a rigid base and flexible claws. The rigid base is connected to the operating table. The flexible claws include a circular base and multiple arched clamping plates. The circular base is mounted on the rigid base. The multiple arched clamping plates are distributed circumferentially along the circular base. One end of each arched clamping plate is connected to the circular base, and the other end is inclined towards the axis of the circular base. An arched base plate is connected to each arched clamping plate and the circular base. The thickness of the arched base plate increases from the arched clamping plate to the circular base.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a stable connection between the clamping unit and the operating table is achieved, and the unique design of the flexible claw effectively solves the clamping problem of medicine bottles of different sizes. Specifically, the flexible claw consists of a circular base and multiple arched clamping plates. The arched clamping plates are distributed circumferentially along the circular base and are inclined, which can adapt to the shape of the medicine bottle and improve clamping stability. At the same time, the design of the arched base plate and its increasing thickness further enhance the structural strength, making the force more uniform during clamping, thereby reducing the risk of medicine bottles slipping and improving overall reliability.
[0009] Preferably, the plurality of the arched clamping plates are evenly spaced along the circumference of the circular base.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the force on the medicine bottle is more even when it is clamped, avoiding the problem of the medicine bottle shifting or slipping due to uneven pressure distribution, thereby further improving the clamping stability.
[0011] Preferably, the centerline of the arched clamping plate and the centerline of the arched base plate are both collinear with the centerline of the circular base.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping structure is ensured to be subjected to more uniform force during operation, effectively avoiding clamping instability caused by uneven force, thereby further improving the adaptability to different types of medicine bottles and the clamping reliability.
[0013] Preferably, the side of the arched base plate facing the axis of the circular base is provided with a bottom clamping groove.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a bottom clamping groove is added to the side of the arched base plate facing the axis of the circular base. This provides clear positional constraint when the medicine bottle is placed into the clamping structure, effectively preventing radial displacement of the medicine bottle and thus improving clamping stability. Combined with the design of the rigid base and flexible claws in the overall structure, this bottom clamping groove further enhances the adaptability to medicine bottles of different sizes, reducing the risk of medicine bottles slipping due to positional deviations while ensuring versatility.
[0015] Preferably, the side of the arched clamping plate facing the axis of the circular base is provided with a side clamping groove.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement range of the bottom of the medicine bottle can be effectively limited, the positioning ability of the clamping structure on the medicine bottle can be enhanced, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the overall operation.
[0017] Preferably, the side of the arched clamping plate facing the axis of the circular base is provided with an anti-slip groove.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the arched clamping plate of the flexible claw is equipped with anti-slip grooves on the side facing the centerline of the circular base, which significantly enhances the friction between the claw and the surface of the medicine bottle. This design effectively prevents the medicine bottle from sliding or falling off during clamping, thereby greatly improving clamping stability and reducing the risk of damage to the medicine bottle due to improper clamping.
[0019] Preferably, the operating table is provided with a turntable, and there are multiple clamping units, which are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the turntable, and the rigid base is connected to the turntable.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, a multi-station arrangement of the clamping units on the operating table is achieved. Specifically, by setting a turntable on the operating table and distributing multiple clamping units at intervals along the circumference of the turntable, the medicine bottle clamping structure can complete the clamping operation of multiple medicine bottles simultaneously, thereby effectively improving work efficiency. At the same time, the connection between the rigid base and the turntable ensures the positional accuracy and stability of each clamping unit, further enhancing the reliability of the entire device.
[0021] Preferably, the rigid base is detachably connected to the turntable.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, convenient assembly and replacement between the clamping unit and the turntable are realized, which facilitates maintenance and adjustment, and improves the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment.
[0023] Preferably, the operating platform is provided with a rotating shaft coaxially connected to the turntable, and a coaxial main gear is provided on the rotating shaft; a plurality of meshing side gears are provided on the side of the main gear, and the side gears are rotatably connected to the operating platform.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, precise rotational positioning of the clamping unit on the operating table is achieved. Specifically, the coaxial connection between the rotating shaft and the turntable ensures the overall stability of the clamping unit, while the meshing transmission structure of the main gear and multiple side gears ensures the stability of the main gear's rotation, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating shaft's rotation.
[0025] Preferably, the turntable is provided with a limiting groove, and the clamping unit is located in the limiting groove.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the soft claws hold the medicine bottle, the outward deformation range of the soft claws can be limited, ensuring that the soft claws can effectively hold the medicine bottle.
[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0028] 1. The design of the flexible claw in this application adopts the form of combining an arched clamping plate with a round base, which can adapt to medicine bottles of different sizes through its own elastic deformation, significantly improving the versatility and stability of the clamping device and reducing the risk of medicine bottles slipping.
[0029] 2. In this application, the arched clamping plates are distributed circumferentially along the circular base, and the arched base plates with increasing thickness enhance the structural strength and stress balance, further ensuring the effective clamping of the medicine bottle.
[0030] 3. The anti-slip grooves provided on the inner side of the arched clamping plate in this application increase the friction between the plate and the surface of the medicine bottle, ensuring that the medicine bottle can be firmly clamped even under vibration or other external forces.

[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0039] This application discloses a medicine bottle clamping structure.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A medicine bottle clamping structure includes an operating table 1 and a clamping unit 2. The clamping unit 2 includes a rigid base 21 and flexible claws 22. The rigid base 21 is connected to the operating table 1. The flexible claws 22 include a circular base 221 and a plurality of arched clamping plates 223. The circular base 221 is mounted on the rigid base 21. The plurality of arched clamping plates 223 are distributed circumferentially along the circular base 221. One end of each arched clamping plate 223 is connected to the circular base 221, and the other end is inclined toward the axis of the circular base 221. The arched clamping plates 223 are connected to the circular base 221 by an arched bottom plate 222. The thickness of the arched bottom plate 222 increases from the arched clamping plate 223 to the circular base 221. Preferably, the plurality of arched clamping plates 223 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the circular base 221. The centerlines of the arched clamping plate 223 and the arched base plate 222 are both collinear with the centerline of the circular base 221. The side of the arched base plate 222 facing the centerline of the circular base 221 has a bottom clamping groove 22201. To enhance the friction of the arched clamping plate 223, the side of the arched clamping plate 223 facing the centerline of the circular base 221 has a side clamping groove 22301 and an anti-slip groove 22302.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the rigid base 21 can be made of metal sheet or high-strength plastic material to provide support and connect to the operating table 1, ensuring the stability of the overall structure. The circular base 221, as the base of the flexible claw 22, is recommended to be made of elastic material such as silicone or soft rubber to provide a certain degree of deformation capability. The arched clamping plate 223 can be made of aluminum alloy sheet or other lightweight, high-toughness alloys; if necessary, an anti-corrosion coating can be added to extend its service life.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each arched clamping plate 223 is connected to the circular base 221 by an arched bottom plate 222. Viewed from the direction extending from the arched clamping plate 223 to the circular base 221, the arched bottom plate 222 shows a gradually thickening trend. This gradual thickness arrangement helps to distribute stress points and avoid localized stress concentration. For example, when handling large medicine bottles, the thicker portion near the circular base 221 can bear more load weight. For smaller items, the thinner side is easier to bend and conform to the target contour curve.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The operating table 1 is equipped with a turntable 11, and multiple clamping units 2 are distributed circumferentially along the turntable 11, with a rigid base 21 connected to the turntable 11. In this embodiment, a multi-station arrangement of the clamping units 2 on the operating table 1 is achieved. Specifically, by setting a turntable 11 on the operating table 1 and distributing multiple clamping units 2 circumferentially along the turntable 11, the medicine bottle clamping structure can complete the clamping operation of multiple medicine bottles simultaneously, thereby effectively improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, the connection between the rigid base 21 and the turntable 11 ensures the positional accuracy and stability of each clamping unit 2, further enhancing the reliability of the entire device.
[0044] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rigid base 21 is detachably connected to the turntable 11. In this embodiment, convenient assembly and replacement between the clamping unit 2 and the turntable 11 are achieved, facilitating maintenance and adjustment, while improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment.
[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The operating table 1 is equipped with a rotating shaft 12 coaxially connected to the turntable 11. The rotating shaft 12 is driven by a conventional motor and has a coaxial main gear 13. Multiple meshing side gears 14 are located on the side of the main gear 13, and the side gears 14 are rotatably connected to the operating table 1. In this embodiment, precise rotational positioning of the clamping unit 2 on the operating table 1 is achieved. Specifically, the coaxial connection between the rotating shaft 12 and the turntable 11 ensures the overall stability of the clamping unit 2, while the meshing transmission structure of the main gear 13 and the multiple side gears 14 ensures the rotational stability of the main gear 13, thereby ensuring the rotational stability of the rotating shaft 12.
[0046] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The turntable 11 is provided with a limiting groove 1101, and the clamping unit 2 is located in the limiting groove 1101. In this embodiment, when the flexible claw 22 clamps the medicine bottle, the outward deformation range of the flexible claw 22 can be limited to ensure that the flexible claw 22 can effectively clamp the medicine bottle.
[0047] The implementation principle of the medicine bottle clamping structure in this application embodiment is as follows: through the unique design of the flexible claw 22 and its special mechanical distribution characteristics, the clamping structure can automatically adjust the contact area under different pressure conditions, thereby adapting to medicine bottles of various specifications, effectively avoiding the clamping instability problem caused by traditional rigid claws, and greatly improving the clamping reliability and safety.
