Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass bottle inspection technology, specifically relating to a glass medicine bottle light inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, quality control in the drug production process has become particularly important. Glass medicine bottles, as common drug packaging containers, directly affect the safety and efficacy of drugs. During drug production, glass medicine bottles require rigorous testing to ensure they are free of suspended solids, glass shards, and other foreign matter.

[0003] Currently, light inspection of medicine bottles is a crucial step in the pharmaceutical production process. Traditional light inspection methods primarily rely on manual inspection using a handheld magnifying glass to examine each glass bottle individually. While simple and direct, this method has several drawbacks. Workers must hold the bottle and magnifying glass, observing the inside of the bottle from multiple angles and angles under a light source to check for foreign objects or defects. This method is not only inefficient but also physically demanding, leading to eye fatigue and affecting inspection accuracy over extended periods.

[0004] With the development of technology, some improved light inspection devices have appeared on the market, such as:

[0005] CN108760761B discloses a single-sided automatic light inspection system for medicine bottles. This system achieves automatic transfer and rotation of medicine bottles through a clamping mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a guiding mechanism, and a rotating mechanism, and automatically detects the medicine bottles through a light inspection mechanism, a bottle inspection mechanism, and a synchronization mechanism.

[0006] CN108760760B discloses a fully automatic medicine bottle inspection device. This device changes the transport posture of the medicine bottle through a clamping mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a guiding mechanism, and realizes automatic inspection of the medicine bottle through a light inspection mechanism, a bottle inspection mechanism, and a synchronization mechanism.

[0007] CN108663379B discloses a rotary intelligent light inspection system for medicine bottles. This system achieves automatic transport and rotation of medicine bottles through a clamping mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a guiding mechanism, and a rotating mechanism, and automatically detects the medicine bottles through a light inspection mechanism and a synchronous belt.

[0008] CN108760762B discloses a fully automatic intelligent light inspection device. This device achieves automatic transfer of medicine bottles through a clamping mechanism, a transmission mechanism, and a guiding mechanism, and achieves automatic inspection of medicine bottles through a light inspection mechanism and a synchronization mechanism.

[0009] While the aforementioned technical solutions improve the efficiency of light inspection to some extent, these devices are complex in structure and expensive, making them unsuitable for small and medium-sized pharmaceutical manufacturers. Furthermore, although fully automated light inspection systems are highly efficient, in certain special cases, such as inspecting medicine bottles with unusual shapes or materials, misjudgments or missed detections may occur, still requiring human intervention for assistance.

[0010] The information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background art of the art described herein. Therefore, the background art may contain certain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art in this country. Utility Model Content

[0011] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the existing method of manually inspecting glass medicine bottles with a handheld magnifying glass has low inspection efficiency. Specifically, the inspection speed is extremely slow, and only one medicine bottle can be observed at a time. It requires comprehensive and multi-angle examination, which consumes a lot of time. In particular, it cannot meet the high-efficiency production needs of small and medium-sized pharmaceutical manufacturers, resulting in extended production cycles and increased production costs. At the same time, it also results in high labor intensity for workers.

[0012] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems and achieve the technical effects of improving detection efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of workers, this utility model provides a glass medicine bottle light inspection device, including: a worktable; a feeding mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a light inspection mechanism and a receiving mechanism are sequentially arranged on the worktable; the light inspection mechanism includes rectangular light plates and magnifying glasses symmetrically arranged on both sides of the transmission mechanism, and the center connection line of the rectangular light plates and the magnifying glasses is perpendicular to the axis of the transmission mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, the workbench includes a workbench and a support below the workbench, and the support is provided with a start / stop switch for controlling the start and stop of the transmission mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a transmission belt and guardrails on both sides of the transmission belt. A drive wheel and a driven wheel are respectively provided at both ends of the transmission belt, and a servo motor is connected to the shaft of the drive wheel.

[0015] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism is a feeding box with an open top, and the bottom of the feeding box is mounted on the workbench surface via support legs.

[0016] Optionally, the receiving mechanism is a receiving box with an open top, and the bottom of the receiving box is mounted on the workbench surface via support legs.

[0017] Preferably, a column is fixedly connected to both sides of the magnifying glass, and the ends of the columns are fixedly installed on the worktable.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a microcontroller, which is electrically connected to the start / stop switch and the servo motor respectively.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Compared with the existing method of manually inspecting glass medicine bottles with a handheld magnifying glass, this invention achieves automatic transmission and inspection of glass medicine bottles by setting up a feeding mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a light inspection mechanism, and a receiving mechanism. Glass medicine bottles are piled up in the feeding mechanism, and under the action of the pusher plate, they sequentially enter the conveying mechanism. The belt in the conveying mechanism, driven by a motor, horizontally transports the glass medicine bottles along the axis of the conveying mechanism. During the transmission process, when passing the light inspection mechanism, workers use a magnifying glass to inspect the suspended matter and glass fragments in the glass medicine bottles. If the inspection fails, the conveyor belt is stopped, the defective product is removed, and the next glass medicine bottle is inspected. Qualified glass medicine bottles enter the receiving mechanism at the end of the conveyor belt. This design greatly improves inspection efficiency, reduces the labor intensity of workers, meets the high-efficiency requirements of large-scale pharmaceutical production environments, shortens the production cycle, and reduces the production costs of enterprises.

Figure 1-2It includes a worktable 1, a feeding mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a light inspection mechanism 4, and a receiving mechanism 5. The worktable 1 includes a worktable and a support under the worktable. The support is equipped with a start / stop switch 6 for controlling the start and stop of the conveying mechanism 3. The start / stop switch 6 is a button and is electrically connected to the servo motor 303 in the conveying mechanism 3.

[0026] The workbench 1 is provided with a feeding mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a light inspection mechanism 4, and a receiving mechanism 5 in sequence. The feeding mechanism 2 is a feeding box with an open top. The bottom of the feeding box is mounted on the workbench surface by support legs. One end of the feeding box is narrowed to form a feeding port. The feeding port is connected to the end of the conveyor belt 301 and the height is the same as that of the conveyor belt 301.

[0027] The transmission mechanism 3 includes a transmission belt 301 and guardrails 302 on both sides of the transmission belt 301. A drive wheel and a driven wheel are respectively installed at both ends of the transmission belt 301, and a servo motor 303 is connected to the drive wheel shaft. The transmission belt 301 is mounted on the worktable 1 and is used to transport glass medicine bottles from the feeding mechanism 2 to the receiving mechanism 5. The width of the transmission belt 301 is designed to fit the diameter of the glass medicine bottles, ensuring that the bottles can be stably transported on the transmission belt 301. The guardrails 302 are located on both sides of the transmission belt 301 to prevent the glass medicine bottles from falling during transmission. The drive wheel is connected to the servo motor 303 via a shaft, and the servo motor 303 provides power to rotate the drive wheel, driving the transmission belt 301. The driven wheel is located at the other end of the transmission belt 301 and is used to support the transmission belt 301 and maintain its tension.

[0028] The light inspection mechanism 4 includes rectangular light panels 401 and magnifying glasses 402 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor mechanism 3. The center line connecting the rectangular light panels 401 and the magnifying glasses 402 is perpendicular to the axis of the conveyor mechanism 3. The rectangular light panels 401 are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 301, providing sufficient light to illuminate the glass medicine bottles, making it easier to observe suspended matter and glass shards inside the bottles under illumination. A column 403 is fixedly connected to both sides of the magnifying glasses 402, and the ends of the columns 403 are fixedly installed on the worktable. The magnifying glasses 402 are installed above the conveyor belt 301, forming an inspection area with the rectangular light panels 401. The operator observes the inside of the glass medicine bottles through the magnifying glasses 402 to detect the presence of suspended matter or glass shards.

[0029] The receiving mechanism 5 is a top-opening receiving box. The bottom of the receiving box is mounted on the workbench surface via support legs. One end of the receiving box narrows to form a receiving opening, which is connected to the other end of the conveyor belt 301 and is at the same height as the conveyor belt 301. The receiving mechanism 5 is used to collect glass medicine bottles that have passed light inspection.

[0030] The glass medicine bottle inspection device also includes a microcontroller, which is electrically connected to the start / stop switch 6 and the servo motor 303. The microcontroller receives signals from the start / stop switch 6 and controls the start and stop of the servo motor 303, thereby controlling the operating status of the conveyor belt 301.

[0031] The working process of this glass medicine bottle light inspection device is as follows: Glass medicine bottles are piled up in the feeding mechanism 2, and under the action of the pusher plate in the feeding mechanism 2, they enter the conveying mechanism 3 in sequence. The conveyor belt 301 in the conveying mechanism 3, driven by the servo motor 303, horizontally transports the glass medicine bottles along the axis of the conveying mechanism 3. During the transport process, when the glass medicine bottle passes the light inspection mechanism 4, the rectangular light plate 401 provides a light source, and the operator uses a magnifying glass 402 to inspect the suspended matter and glass fragments in the glass medicine bottle. If a defective product is found, the operator can control the conveyor belt 301 to stop by pressing the start / stop switch 6, remove the defective product from the conveyor belt 301, and then restart the conveyor belt 301 to continue inspecting the next glass medicine bottle. Qualified glass medicine bottles continue to move forward along the conveyor belt 301 and finally enter the receiving mechanism 5 at the end.

[0032] The loading mechanism 2 of this glass medicine bottle inspection device is designed as a loading box with an open top, making it easy for operators to place the glass medicine bottles to be inspected into it. The inlet of the loading box is connected to the end of the conveyor belt 301, and its height is the same as that of the conveyor belt 301, ensuring that the glass medicine bottles can smoothly enter the conveyor mechanism 3 from the loading mechanism 2. The bottom of the loading box is mounted on the workbench surface by support legs. The height of the support legs is designed so that the bottom of the loading box is the same as the height of the conveyor belt 301, facilitating the transport of the glass medicine bottles.

[0033] The conveyor belt 301 of the transmission mechanism 3 is made of wear-resistant material with a smooth surface, ensuring stable transport of the glass medicine bottles without wobbling. The guardrails 302 on both sides of the conveyor belt 301 are of moderate height, preventing the glass medicine bottles from falling during transport while not interfering with the handling of the bottles by staff. The speed of the conveyor belt 301 can be adjusted by the rotation speed of the servo motor 303 to meet the inspection requirements of glass medicine bottles of different sizes.

[0034] The rectangular light panel 401 in the light inspection mechanism 4 uses an LED light source to provide bright and uniform illumination, making suspended matter and glass shards inside the glass medicine bottle more clearly visible under the light. The brightness of the rectangular light panel 401 is adjustable to adapt to the inspection needs of glass medicine bottles of different colors and transparency. The magnifying glass 402 is made of high-definition optical glass with a moderate magnification, allowing operators to clearly observe minute foreign objects inside the glass medicine bottle. The magnifying glass 402 is fixed to the worktable by a column 403, the height of which is adjustable to accommodate operators of different heights.

[0035] The receiving mechanism 5 is designed as a receiving box with an open top, making it easy for workers to retrieve qualified glass medicine bottles. The receiving port of the receiving box is connected to the end of the conveyor belt 301, and its height is the same as that of the conveyor belt 301, ensuring that the glass medicine bottles can smoothly enter the receiving mechanism 5 from the conveyor mechanism 3. The bottom of the receiving box is mounted on the workbench surface by support legs. The height of the support legs is designed so that the bottom of the receiving box is the same as the height of the conveyor belt 301, facilitating the collection of glass medicine bottles.

[0036] The start / stop switch 6, mounted on the support beneath the worktable 1, features a push-button design for simple and intuitive operation. The start / stop switch 6 is electrically connected to a microcontroller, which controls the start and stop of the servo motor 303 based on the signal from the switch, thereby controlling the running state of the conveyor belt 301. The microcontroller can also set the running speed of the conveyor belt 301 as needed to adapt to different detection rhythms.

[0037] This glass medicine bottle inspection device achieves automatic transport and efficient inspection of glass medicine bottles through the coordinated operation of the feeding mechanism 2, the conveying mechanism 3, the light inspection mechanism 4, and the receiving mechanism 5. Compared with the traditional manual inspection method using a handheld magnifying glass 402, this device improves inspection efficiency, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and ensures inspection quality. Operators only need to observe the passing glass medicine bottles through the magnifying glass 402 from a fixed position. When a defective product is found, the start / stop switch 6 is pressed to stop the conveyor belt 301, the defective product is removed, and the inspection continues. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0038] This glass medicine bottle light inspection device has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and convenient maintenance, and is suitable for inspecting glass medicine bottles of various sizes. All components of the device adopt a standardized design, facilitating replacement and maintenance. The overall dimensions of the device can be adjusted according to actual production needs to adapt to different production environments.
