Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ampoule opening technology, and particularly relates to an ampoule opener. Background Technology
[0002] Ampoules are generally colorless and transparent glass bottles. Some ampoules are brown because the drugs are easily oxidized and need to be stored away from light. Ampoules are glass containers used to store liquid medications, such as injectable drugs, vaccines, and serums. To open an ampoule, hold a grinding wheel in one hand and the ampoule in the other. Use the grinding wheel to make a circular cut around the neck of the ampoule, then turn the ampoule so that the nipple is facing upwards, allowing all the medication to flow into the bottle. Finally, pinch the nipple with your fingers to break off the neck of the ampoule.
[0003] Existing ampoule openers typically use either electric control or traditional manual methods such as grinding wheels. However, electric openers rely on external power and cannot be used in situations without power supply (such as wilderness first aid or disaster relief). Furthermore, the motor-driven structure results in bulky and heavy equipment, significantly increasing transportation and carrying costs. On the other hand, traditional manual grinding wheel opening requires users to operate with their bare hands. The grinding wheel is prone to breakage, producing high-speed flying fragments that pose a risk of cuts. Additionally, the friction of the grinding wheel can leave glass shards and abrasive particles at the ampoule opening, contaminating the medication and endangering patient safety. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide an ampoule opener. Through the mechanical linkage of the pushing component, the cutting component and the impact component, the cutting-energy storage-impact action is realized, completely eliminating the dependence on electricity. It is suitable for opening bottles in all scenarios. Users only contact the bottom of the bottle, avoiding contact between their hands and the cutting area and the impact part, eliminating the risk of cuts. The instantaneous impact of the impact component ensures that the bottle head breaks precisely along the cutting line, eliminating the residue of glass fragments.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] Ampoule opener, including
[0007] The pushing assembly is equipped with a loading head for loading ampoules and is used to carry ampoules to move. The cutting assembly is located on the moving path of the pushing assembly and is used to cut the ampoules as they move past the pushing assembly.
[0008] The impact component is connected to the push component. During the movement of the push component, the impact component stores energy. When the push component moves to the preset cutting completion position, the impact component releases and impacts the head of the ampoule to open the ampoule.
[0009] By mechanically linking the drive component, the cutting tool component, and the impact component, an integrated action of cutting, energy storage, and impact is achieved, completely eliminating the dependence on electricity. It is suitable for bottle opening needs in all scenarios. Users only need to contact the bottom of the bottle, avoiding contact between their hands and the cutting area and impact point, thus eliminating the risk of cuts.

The latch spring is mounted on the latch and is used to reset the latch.
[0014] Furthermore, during the movement of the component, the component drives the drive mechanism to move, and the latch engages in the slot of the impact rod, blocking the movement of the impact rod, thereby controlling the impact rod to achieve energy storage.
[0015] The drive mechanism is equipped with a rope buckle, which moves with the drive mechanism. When the push component moves to the preset cutting completion position, the rope buckle hits the paddle and rotates. The paddle drives the buckle to rotate, and the buckle disengages from the slot, thereby releasing the impact rod.

[0037] 5- Acrylic exterior panel; 6- Baffle. Detailed Implementation
[0038] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, this utility model's ampoule opener includes a pushing component 1, a cutting component 2, an impact component 3, and a housing component 4. The housing component 4 includes a mounting base plate 41, a housing 42, and a storage box 43. The housing 42 and the storage box 43 can be connected by snap-fit or magnetic attraction. The mounting base plate 41 is fixedly installed between the housing 42 and the storage box 43 by screws. The pushing component 1, the impact component 3, and the cutting component 2 are all installed on the mounting base plate 41. The mounting base plate 41 is provided with a mounting seat 412, and the mounting seat 412 is equipped with a guide rail buckle 44. The guide rail buckle 44 can be connected to an external guide rail. The guide rail can be fixed to a wall or a mounting fixture, which can realize the installation and fixation of the opener. The opener can also be used alone, increasing the versatility of the opener's application scenarios.
[0039] The pushing component 1 is equipped with a loading head for loading ampoules. The ampoules are placed in the loading head and are moved by the pushing component 1. The cutting tool component 2 is located on the moving path of the pushing component 1. When the ampoules move past the pushing component 1, the cutting tool component 2 is used to cut the neck of the ampoules. The impact component 3 is connected to the pushing component 1 by a steel wire rope 334. During the movement of the pushing component 1, the impact component 3 is driven to store energy. When the pushing component 1 moves to the preset cutting completion position, the impact component 3 is released and impacts the head of the ampoule to open the ampoule.
[0040] This invention achieves an integrated action of cutting, energy storage, and impact by mechanically linking the drive component 1, the cutter component 2, and the impact component 3. It completely eliminates the dependence on electricity and is suitable for bottle opening needs in all scenarios. Users only need to contact the bottom of the bottle, avoiding contact between their hands and the cutting area and impact part, thus eliminating the risk of cuts. The instantaneous impact of the impact component 3 ensures that the bottle head breaks precisely along the cutting line, eliminating the residue of glass fragments.
[0041] The impact assembly 3 includes an assembly housing 37, an assembly cover 38, an impact rod 31, an impact rod protective cover 39, a drive mechanism 33, a reset mechanism, and a pry mechanism 34. The assembly housing 37 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base plate 41 by screws. The impact rod 31, drive mechanism 33, reset mechanism, and pry mechanism 34 are all installed in the assembly housing 37. The assembly cover 38 has a snap-fit part, which snaps into the assembly housing 37, enabling a detachable connection between the assembly cover 38 and the assembly housing 37. The impact rod protective cover 39 is fixedly connected to the impact rod 31 and is used to protect the impact rod 31. One end of the impact rod 31 is provided with an impact head 32, through which the impact rod 31 passes. To achieve impact on the ampoule, the impact rod 31 is connected to a drive mechanism 33, a reset mechanism, and a paddle mechanism 34. The drive mechanism 33 is connected to the push assembly 1. During the push process, the push assembly 1 applies a pulling force to the drive mechanism 33, which drives the impact rod 31 to move. After the impact rod 31 completes the impact, the reset mechanism drives the impact rod 31 back to its initial position to achieve the reset of the impact rod 31. When the push assembly 1 applies a pulling force to the drive mechanism 33, the paddle mechanism 34 limits the impact rod 31, thereby allowing the impact rod 31 to store energy. When the push assembly 1 moves to the preset cutting completion position, the paddle mechanism 34 releases the impact rod 31, and the impact rod 31 impacts the ampoule under the drive of the drive mechanism 33.
[0042] Specifically, during the movement of the push component 1, the push component 1 drives the drive mechanism 33 to move. The buckle 343 in the paddle mechanism 34 engages in the slot 311 of the impact rod 31, blocking the movement of the impact rod 31, thereby controlling the impact rod 31 to achieve energy storage. The drive mechanism 33 is equipped with a rope buckle 336, which moves with the drive mechanism 33. When the push component 1 moves to the preset cutting completion position, the rope buckle 336 strikes the paddle 341, causing the paddle 341 to rotate and then drive the buckle 343 to rotate, causing the buckle 343 to disengage from the slot 311 of the impact rod 31, thereby releasing the impact rod 31. The impact rod 31 then strikes the cut ampoule under the drive of the drive mechanism 33.
[0043] In this invention, the connection between the impact rod 31 and the drive mechanism 33 ensures efficient transmission of kinetic energy, the reset mechanism automatically returns to its original position to shorten the operation interval, and the mechanical interlock design of the paddle mechanism 34 achieves stable maintenance and precise release of the energy storage state, preventing accidental triggering.
[0044] The drive mechanism 33 includes a first slider 331, a first slide rail 332, a main spring 333, a wire rope 334, a first pulley 335, and a rope buckle 336. The first slide rail 332 is fixedly installed in the component housing 37. The first slider 331 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail 332. The impact rod 31 is fixedly installed on the first slider 331. One end of the main spring 333 is fixedly installed on the impact rod 31, and the other end is connected to the wire rope 334 through the rope buckle 336. A second pulley 411 is connected to the mounting base plate 41. The wire rope 334 passes around the first pulley 335 and the second pulley 411 and is connected to the push component 1. The wire rope 334 transmits thrust by turning through the first pulley 335 and the second pulley 411, converting linear motion into the energy storage displacement of the impact rod 31. The elastic deformation of the main spring 333 provides the impact force. The wire rope 334 and the main spring 333 are connected by the rope buckle 336.
[0045] The reset mechanism includes a first reset spring 35 and a limiting post 36. The limiting post 36 is fixed in the component housing 37. One end of the first reset spring 35 is fixedly installed on the impact rod 31, and the other end is connected to the limiting post 36. The design of the first reset spring 35 and the limiting post 36 allows the impact rod 31 to be automatically pulled back to the initial position after impact, avoiding manual reset operation and improving continuous bottle opening efficiency and equipment reliability.
[0046] The paddle mechanism 34 includes a paddle 341, a paddle cover plate 342, a latch 343, and a latch spring 344. A rotating shaft 345 is provided in the component housing 37. The paddle 341 and latch 343 are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 345, with one end of the paddle 341 abutting against one end of the latch 343. The paddle cover plate 342 is fixedly mounted in the component housing 37, and the rotating shaft 345 passes through the paddle cover plate 342. The paddle cover plate 342 is used to limit the movement of the paddle 341 and latch 343. The latch spring 344 is mounted on the latch 343 and is used to reset the latch 343. When the push assembly 1 moves to the preset cutting completion position, the wire rope 334 pulls the rope buckle 336 to collide with the paddle 341. The paddle 341 rotates around the pivot 345 and paddles the buckle 343, causing the buckle 343 to also rotate, thereby disengaging the buckle 343 from the slot 311 of the impact rod 31, releasing the impact rod 31 and forming an impact. After the impact is completed, the impact rod 31 is pulled back to the initial position by the first reset spring 35. At this time, under the elastic action of the buckle spring 344, the buckle 343 is locked into the slot 311, restricting the impact rod 31 again.
[0047] The cutting tool assembly 2 includes a fixing member 21, a second return spring 22, a clamp 23, and a cutting head 24. The fixing member 21 is fixedly installed on the mounting base plate 41, and the clamp 23 is installed on the fixing member 21. The two ends of the second return spring 22 are respectively connected to the fixing member 21 and the clamp 23. The cutting head 24 is fixedly installed on the clamp 23. The second return spring 22 pre-presses the clamp 23 to make the cutting head 24 adapt to the neck of ampoule bottles of different diameters. During the cutting process, the second return spring 22 buffers and offsets the impact force, extending the service life of the cutting head 24.
[0048] Furthermore, a baffle 6 is installed between the impact assembly 3 and the cutter assembly 2. The baffle 6 is fixed on the mounting base plate 41. The baffle 6 separates the impact assembly 3 from the cutter assembly 2 to prevent the bottle head from splashing into the impact assembly 3.
[0049] The pushing assembly 1 includes a mounting plate 11, a push rod 12, a second slider 13, and a second slide rail 14. The mounting plate 11 and the second slider 13 are fixedly mounted. The second slider 13 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 14. The second slide rail 14 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base plate 41. The push rod 12 is mounted on the mounting plate 11. The push rod 12 pushes the mounting plate 11 to move along the second slide rail 14. The loading head can be mounted on the mounting plate 11 and the push rod 12.
[0050] The outer shell 42 includes outer shell one and outer shell two, and the storage box 43 includes storage box one and storage box two. Both outer shell one and outer shell two, and storage box one and storage box two can be connected by snap fasteners and fixedly installed by screws. The snap fastener connection can enable quick installation and positioning of outer shell 42 and storage box 43, and facilitate disassembly.
[0051] Furthermore, an acrylic exterior panel 5 is glued to the surface of the outer shell 42; and an opening 45 is provided on one side of the outer shell 42 and the storage box 43. After the ampoule is opened by the impact rod 31, the bottle head is hit into the opening 45 and guided away from the opener through the opening 45 to complete the recycling, so as to avoid the bottle head flying randomly after being hit open and causing potential hazards.
[0052] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto.
