A fully automatic light inspection bottle feeding system

Abstract

This utility model belongs to the field of fully automatic light inspection machines, and provides a bottle feeding system for a fully automatic light inspection machine, including a bottle feeding belt, a bottle feeding screw, and a bridge plate. The bottle feeding screw is located above the end of the bottle feeding belt; the bridge plate is located between the bottle feeding belt and the bottle feeding screw, the bridge plate is horizontally set, and parallel to the bottle feeding screw, and the surface of the bridge plate is smooth. This fully automatic light inspection machine bottle feeding system, by setting a bridge plate between the bottle feeding belt and the bottle feeding screw, allows the bottle to rest on the bridge plate after entering the screw groove, avoiding direct contact between the bottom of the bottle and the belt. In other words, by setting the bridge plate, the friction between the belt and the bottle at the bottle feeding screw can be isolated, reducing wear on mechanical parts. This avoids bottle breakage and leakage caused by bottle compression, thereby reducing the false detection rate. Furthermore, the process of the bottle entering the screw groove becomes smoother and more stable, improving bottle feeding efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fully automatic light inspection machines, and specifically relates to a bottle feeding system for a fully automatic light inspection machine. Background Technology

[0002] The fully automatic light inspection machine is a device used for physical appearance inspection of pharmaceuticals. Its core components include a vision control system, a motion control system, an electrical control system, and an image processing system. It can automatically remove foreign objects and products that do not meet appearance standards.

[0003] The fully automatic light inspection machine is suitable for detecting particulate matter and appearance in vials and ampoules of liquid injections. The machine includes an infeed conveyor belt, star wheel, infeed screw, mechanical module, qualified product exit tracks for different trays, rejected product exit tracks for different trays, an operation panel with a movable swing arm, start and emergency stop buttons, a touch screen with a soft keyboard, and an electrical control cabinet (including an integrated stainless steel cabinet and electrical power lines). The products to be inspected are transported to various inspection stations via the conveyor belt and infeed star wheel. After inspection at all stations, the machine, according to software instructions, separates the products into qualified and rejected products, which are then transported to the qualified and rejected product trays respectively by the exit star wheel.

[0004] However, during the bottle feeding process, the bottom of the bottle on the feeding screw usually comes into direct contact with the feeding conveyor belt, creating significant friction. This leads to uneven bottle feeding and a high risk of crushing and breakage, causing wear on the belt and feeding screw. Specifically, the bottles are prone to breakage due to compression during feeding, requiring significant time for cleaning. Uneven feeding also prevents the screw from achieving the required saturation level, potentially causing it to idle and hindering the high-speed production efficiency of fully automated light inspection machines. Furthermore, leakage from broken bottles can adhere to the belt, feeding screw, and bottle body, affecting subsequent inspections and increasing the false positive rate. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fully automatic bottle-feeding system for light inspection machines, which can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fully automatic light inspection machine bottle feeding system, including a bottle feeding belt, a bottle feeding screw, and a bridge plate;

[0007] The bottle inlet screw is positioned above the end of the bottle inlet belt;

[0008] The bridge plate is disposed between the bottle inlet belt and the bottle inlet screw. The bridge plate is horizontally disposed and parallel to the bottle inlet screw. The surface of the bridge plate is smooth.

[0009] Preferably, the bridge plate is a stainless steel bridge plate.

[0010] Preferably, the bridge plate has a chamfered structure on the upstream side near the bottle inlet belt.

[0011] Preferably, the system also includes a frame, on which the bottle infeed belt and the bottle infeed screw are both mounted.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting member is also included, which is disposed on the frame and located above the bottle infeed belt and upstream of the bottle infeed screw, with the limiting member having a clearance fit with the bottle infeed screw.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting member is provided with a guide roller, and the roller shaft of the guide roller is arranged vertically.

[0014] Preferably, the bridge plate is mounted on the frame.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This utility model provides a fully automatic bottle feeding system for a light inspection machine. A bridge plate is installed between the bottle feeding belt and the bottle feeding screw. This allows the bottle to rest on the bridge plate after entering the screw groove, preventing the bottom of the bottle from directly contacting the belt. In other words, by setting up the bridge plate, the friction between the belt and the bottle at the bottle feeding screw is isolated, reducing wear on mechanical parts. This avoids bottle breakage and leakage caused by bottle compression, thereby reducing the false detection rate. Furthermore, the process of the bottle entering the screw groove becomes smoother and more stable, improving bottle feeding efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0037] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the exemplary embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not an exhaustive list of all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0038] This embodiment provides a fully automatic bottle feeding system for a light inspection machine, including a bottle feeding belt 1, a bottle feeding screw 2, and a bridge plate 3.

[0039] The bottle inlet screw 2 is located above the end of the bottle inlet belt 1.

[0040] For example, see Figure 1-3 The bottle inlet belt 1 drives to the right, meaning its right end is the terminal point. The bottle inlet screw 2 is positioned above the right end of the bottle inlet belt 1, horizontally and perpendicular to the driving direction of the bottle inlet belt 1. The bottle inlet belt 1 transports bottles to the right. When a bottle on the bottle inlet belt 1 reaches the right end, it contacts the bottle inlet screw 2 and enters the groove of the bottle inlet screw 2. Then, by rotating the bottle inlet screw 2, the bottle in the groove can be moved axially along the bottle inlet screw 2.

[0041] The bridge plate 3 is set between the bottle inlet belt 1 and the bottle inlet screw 2. The bridge plate 3 is set horizontally and parallel to the bottle inlet screw 2. The surface of the bridge plate 3 is smooth.

[0042] For example, see Figure 1-3 The bridge plate 3 is positioned above the right end of the bottle inlet belt 1 and below the left side of the bottle inlet screw 2. When the bottle on the bottle inlet belt 1 moves to the right end, it enters the groove of the bottle inlet screw 2, and simultaneously moves onto the bridge plate 3. As the bottle inlet screw 2 rotates, the bottle can slide on the bridge plate 3. The bridge plate 3 is relatively thin and will not affect the height of the bottle. The bridge plate 3 can be in contact with the bottle inlet belt 1, but it will not interfere with the transmission of the bottle inlet belt 1. The bridge plate 3 should have a smooth surface so that the bottle can slide smoothly onto and onto it. For example, the bridge plate 3 can be made of stainless steel with a smooth and wear-resistant surface.

[0043] Based on the above structure, the bottle feeding system provided in this embodiment includes a bridge plate 3 between the bottle feeding belt 1 and the bottle feeding screw 2. This allows the bottle to rest on the bridge plate 3 after entering the groove of the bottle feeding screw 2, preventing the bottom of the bottle from directly contacting the bottle feeding belt 1. In other words, by setting the bridge plate 3, the friction between the belt and the bottle at the bottle feeding screw 2 can be isolated, reducing wear on mechanical parts. This avoids bottle breakage and leakage caused by bottle compression, thereby reducing the false detection rate. Furthermore, the process of the bottle entering the groove of the bottle feeding screw 2 becomes smoother and more stable, improving bottle feeding efficiency.

[0044] Based on the above technical solution, in the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the bridge plate 3 is provided with a chamfered structure on the upstream side near the bottle inlet belt 1.

[0045] For example, see Figure 3 The bridge plate 3 has a chamfered structure on its left side. The chamfered structure makes it easier for the bottles on the bottle inlet belt 1 to slide onto the bridge plate 3 when they move to the right end.

[0046] The technical solution provided in this embodiment also includes a frame 4, and the bottle inlet belt 1 and the bottle inlet screw 2 are both mounted on the frame 4.

[0047] For example, see Figure 1-2 The bottle infeed belt 1 has frames 4 on both sides. The bottle infeed belt 1 includes two drive rollers, a belt, and a drive mechanism. The drive rollers are rotatably mounted on the frames 4 and are connected by a belt drive. The drive mechanism is mounted on the frames 4 and drives the drive rollers to rotate, thus realizing the transmission of the bottle infeed belt 1. The bottle infeed screw 2 can be directly rotatably mounted on the frames 4 and driven to rotate by the drive mechanism.

[0048] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting member 5, which is set on the frame 4 and located above the bottle inlet belt 1 and upstream of the bottle inlet screw 2. The limiting member 5 is in clearance fit with the bottle inlet screw 2.

[0049] For example, see Figure 2 A limiting component 5 is installed on the upper frame 4. The limiting component 5 is located above the bottle infeed belt 1 and to the left of the bottle infeed screw 2. A limiting surface is formed on the side of the limiting component 5 near the bottle infeed screw 2. The limiting surface is parallel to the bottle infeed screw 2 and has a clearance fit with the bottle infeed screw 2. After the bottle enters the groove of the bottle infeed screw 2, the limiting component 5 can play a limiting role to prevent the bottle from falling out of the groove of the bottle infeed screw 2 during transportation.

[0050] Among them, the limiting member 5 is provided with a guide roller 6, and the roller shaft of the guide roller 6 is set vertically.

[0051] For example, see Figure 2 The feeding screw 2 moves from bottom to top. A guide roller 6 is located at the lower end of the limiting member 5 near the feeding screw 2, and the roller shaft of the guide roller 6 is vertically arranged. In this way, when the bottle enters between the limiting member 5 and the feeding screw 2, the guide roller 6 can play a rolling guiding role, avoiding violent collision between the bottle and the limiting member 5.

[0052] Furthermore, the bridge plate 3 is mounted on the frame 4.

[0053] For example, the bridge plate 3 can be fixed to the frame 4 by welding, bonding or other methods.

[0054] Of course, the bridge plate 3 can also be mounted on the frame 4 in other ways. For example, the technical solution provided in this embodiment also includes a mounting plate 7. The frame 4 has two pre-drilled mounting screw holes, and the mounting plate 7 has two through holes 8. The through holes 8 correspond one-to-one with the mounting screw holes. The through holes 8 and the corresponding mounting screw holes are locked and fixed by screws. The bridge plate 3 is mounted on the mounting plate 7.

[0055] See Figure 4-5 The frame 4 has two pre-drilled mounting screw holes, and the mounting plate 7 has two through holes 8. Two bolts are used to secure the mounting plate 7 to the frame 4; specifically, the bolt ends are passed through the through holes 8 and screwed into the mounting screw holes. The bridge plate 3 is fixed at both ends to the mounting plates 7 on the two frames 4 respectively. When disassembly is required, the bolts are removed to remove the mounting plates 7, and then the bridge plate 3 can be removed, making disassembly and assembly very convenient. This also makes full use of the pre-drilled mounting screw holes on the frame 4, eliminating the need for additional screw holes.

[0056] Among them, through hole 8 is a horizontally set strip hole.

[0057] For example, see Figure 4 After loosening the bolts, the position of the mounting plate 7 can be adjusted left and right, and then the position of the bridge plate 3 can be adjusted left and right, which can achieve fine adjustment of the left and right position of the bridge plate 3, improving its flexibility and adaptability.

[0058] The mounting plate 7 has a vertical groove 9 along its upper edge, and a slider 10 is slidably fitted inside the groove 9. The mounting plate 7 has two adjusting blocks 11, and adjusting screw holes are provided through the upper and lower parts of the adjusting blocks 11. Adjusting screws 12 are screwed into the adjusting screw holes. The two adjusting screws 12 are located on the upper and lower sides of the slider 10, respectively. The bridge plate 3 is set on the slider 10.

[0059] For example, see Figure 4-5 A vertical groove 9 is provided on the side wall of the mounting plate 7 facing away from the frame 4. The slider 10 can slide vertically in the groove 9, and part of the slider 10 is exposed outside the groove 9.

[0060] Two adjusting blocks 11 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting plate 7 facing away from the frame 4. The two adjusting blocks 11 are located on the upper and lower sides of the slide groove 9, respectively. Adjusting screw holes are provided through the adjusting blocks 11 from top to bottom. Adjusting screws 12 are screwed into the adjusting screw holes. A top block is fixed to the end of the adjusting screw 12 near the slider 10, and a turntable is fixed to the end of the adjusting screw 12 away from the slider 10. The adjusting screw 12 can be rotated by the turntable, thereby realizing the vertical movement of the adjusting screw 12.

[0061] The vertical position of the bridge plate 3 can be adjusted by sliding the slider 10 up and down. After sliding the slider 10 to the appropriate position, the slider 10 can be fixed in place by rotating the adjusting screw 12, so that the top blocks of the two adjusting screws 12 clamp the slider 10 in the middle and prevent the slider 10 from sliding up and down. The operation is simple, the adjustment is flexible, and the adaptability is high.

[0062] Among them, see Figure 5 The slider 10 has an insertion slot on the side wall facing away from the frame 4 that is compatible with the bridge plate 3. During assembly, the two ends of the bridge plate 3 are inserted into the insertion slots of the slider 10 of the two mounting plates 7 respectively, and then the two mounting plates 7 are installed on the two sides of the frame 4 with bolts. The operation is simple and convenient.
