Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical glass tube processing equipment, and in particular to a device for observing appearance defects in pharmaceutical glass tubes. Background Technology

[0002] Pharmaceutical glass tubing is a type of glass product with important applications in the pharmaceutical field. It is typically made of borosilicate glass or soda-lime glass. Borosilicate glass has extremely high chemical stability, resisting the corrosion of most drugs. For example, when containing acidic, alkaline, or neutral drugs, it will not chemically react with the drugs, thus ensuring the purity and quality of the medication. This is because the boron and silicon elements in borosilicate glass form a stable chemical structure, making the glass surface resistant to corrosion. Although soda-lime glass has slightly lower chemical stability than borosilicate glass, it can still be used for packaging some drugs where chemical stability requirements are not extremely high after appropriate surface treatment. However, when in prolonged contact with certain drugs, soda-lime glass may release small amounts of sodium and calcium ions, thus limiting its application range. Pharmaceutical glass tubing has high transparency, allowing medical staff and patients to clearly observe the state of the medication inside, including its color, clarity, and the presence of any sediment. For example, in the packaging of injectable drugs, transparent glass tubes allow users to visually inspect the quality of the liquid, ensuring that the drug has not deteriorated or been contaminated. During the production of pharmaceutical glass tubes, due to relevant regulations, batches of glass tubes need to be randomly inspected to detect whether there are appearance defects such as cracks or impurities during the glass tube manufacturing process.

[0003] Currently, the inspection of glass tubes requires manual operation of inspection equipment, such as magnifying glasses and high-definition cameras. However, due to the limitations of the inspection equipment, it is inconvenient to manually take pictures and record data, making manual operation time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is not conducive to practical use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a device for observing the appearance defects of pharmaceutical glass tubes to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a device for observing the appearance defects of pharmaceutical glass tubes. Currently, when inspecting glass tubes, it is necessary to manually operate inspection equipment, such as magnifying glasses and high-definition cameras, to inspect the glass tubes. However, due to the limitations of the inspection tooling, it is inconvenient to manually take pictures and record, making manual operation time-consuming and laborious, which is not conducive to practical use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A device for observing appearance defects in pharmaceutical glass tubes includes: an operating table, a display, a housing, a placement mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism;

[0008] A housing is mounted on the top left side of the operating table. A high-definition camera is installed on the inner rear wall of the housing. Multiple sets of high-definition cameras are installed side by side. The high-definition cameras are electrically connected to the display via transmission lines. A door is installed on the top surface of the housing and hinged thereto. A fixing hole is opened on the inner bottom surface of the housing. A placement mechanism is placed inside the housing, and the workpiece to be inspected is filled in the placement mechanism.

[0009] In one embodiment, the placement mechanism comprises a groove plate, a base, a placement platform, a bottom opening, a tension spring telescopic rod, a top plate, and a positioning pin. Two sets of groove plates are spaced apart and installed on both sides of the fixing hole. The base has a U-shaped structure, with its bottom sides inserted into the inner groove of the groove plate. A placement platform is installed on the top surface of the base. The placement platform has an I-shaped cross-section and a bottom opening on its top surface. The bottom opening has an inner spherical structure and limits the bottom of the glass tube. An anti-slip pad, a high-friction rubber pad, is wrapped inside the bottom opening. Tension spring telescopic rods are installed on both sides of the top surface of the base. A top plate is installed at the top telescopic end of each tension spring telescopic rod. A handle is installed on the top surface of the top plate. A positioning pin is installed in the center of the bottom surface of the top plate and is inserted into the top opening of the glass tube. The outer circumference of the positioning pin is smoothly polished.

[0010] In one embodiment, the middle part of the placement platform is rotatably connected to the base, and a positioning tube is installed on the bottom surface of the placement platform, with a rectangular groove opened at the bottom of the positioning tube.

[0011] In one embodiment, the adjusting mechanism consists of a bushing, a throttle, and a plug. The bushing is installed inside a fixing hole, the throttle is installed at the bottom of the bushing, and the plug is installed on the top surface. The plug has a rectangular structure.

[0012] In one embodiment, a material box is installed on the right side of the control panel. There are two sets of material boxes, and an identification sticker is affixed to the top side of the material box.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] (1) By pulling the handle upward, the top plate rises under the limit of the tension spring telescopic rod, and the bottom of the glass tube is placed into the bottom opening. Releasing the handle resets the top plate, and the positioning pin is inserted into the top opening of the glass tube, thus completing the detection and positioning of the glass tube. By placing the base inside the box, the two bottom sides of the base are inserted into the groove plate, and the base is limited, thus completing the installation and positioning work of the glass tube before detection. The setting of the placement mechanism makes it convenient for manual pre-filling of glass tubes. After the previous glass tube is detected, the next glass tube is placed in between, which improves the detection efficiency and makes it more convenient for manual operation.

[0015] (2) When the base and the slot plate are connected, the rectangular slot of the positioning tube is inserted into the insertion block at the same time. During the detection process, the bushing tube and the insertion block are driven to rotate synchronously by manually turning the handle. Since the bottom opening is equipped with an anti-slip pad, the glass tube is wrapped in an anti-slip manner, which increases the friction between the glass tube and the bottom opening, thereby making the glass tube rotate, which is convenient for detection with a high-definition camera.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a device for observing the appearance defects of pharmaceutical glass tubes, comprising: an operating table 1, a display 2, a housing 3, a placement mechanism 4, and an adjustment mechanism 5.

[0023] like Figures 1-2As shown, a housing 3 is mounted on the top left side of the operating table 1. A high-definition camera 32 is mounted on the inner rear wall of the housing 3. Multiple sets of high-definition cameras 32 are mounted side by side. The high-definition cameras 32 are electrically connected to the display 2 via transmission lines. A door 31 is hinged to the top of the housing 3. A fixing hole 33 is opened on the inner bottom surface of the housing 3. A placement mechanism 4 is placed inside the housing 3. The placement mechanism 4 is filled with the workpiece to be inspected. During operation, by placing a glass tube into the placement mechanism 4, opening the door 31, placing the placement mechanism 4 into the housing 3, and activating the high-definition cameras 32, the glass tube is visually inspected. The inspection image is transmitted to the display 2 in real time for manual review.

[0024] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the placement mechanism 4 consists of a groove plate 41, a base 42, a placement platform 43, a bottom opening 44, a tension spring telescopic rod 45, a top plate 46, and a positioning pin 47. The groove plate 41 has two sets spaced apart, respectively installed on both sides of the fixing hole 33. The base 42 has an overall U-shaped structure, with its bottom sides inserted into the inner groove of the groove plate 41. The top surface of the base 42 is equipped with a placement platform 43, which has an overall I-shaped cross-section. The top surface of the placement platform 43 has a bottom opening 44, which is an inner spherical structure. The bottom opening 44 limits the bottom of the glass tube. The bottom opening 44 is covered with an anti-slip pad, which is a high-friction rubber pad. Tension spring telescopic rods 45 are installed on both sides of the top surface of the base 42. The top telescopic end of the tension spring telescopic rod 45 is equipped with a top plate 46. The top surface of the top plate 46... A handle is installed, and a positioning pin 47 is installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the top plate 46. The positioning pin 47 is inserted into the top opening of the glass tube. The outer circumference of the positioning pin 47 is smoothly polished. During operation, by pulling the handle upward, the top plate 46 is raised under the limit of the tension spring telescopic rod 45, and the bottom of the glass tube is placed into the bottom opening 44. Releasing the handle allows the top plate 46 to return to its original position, and the positioning pin 47 is inserted into the top opening of the glass tube, completing the inspection and positioning of the glass tube. By placing the base 42 into the box 3, the two bottom sides of the base 42 are inserted into the groove plate 41, and the base 42 is limited, completing the installation and pre-inspection positioning of the glass tube. The placement mechanism 4 facilitates manual pre-filling of glass tubes. After the previous glass tube is inspected, the next glass tube is placed in between, improving inspection efficiency and making manual operation more convenient.

[0025] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the middle part of the placement platform 43 is rotatably connected to the base 42, and a positioning tube 48 is installed on the bottom surface of the placement platform 43. A rectangular groove 49 is opened at the bottom of the positioning tube 48.

[0026] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 5 consists of a bushing 51, a handle 52, and an insert block 53. The bushing 51 is installed inside the fixing hole 33. The handle 52 is installed at the bottom of the bushing 51, and the insert block 53 is installed on the top surface. The insert block 53 has a rectangular structure. During operation, when the base 42 is inserted into the slot plate 41, the rectangular slot 49 of the positioning tube 48 is simultaneously inserted into the insert block 53. During the detection process, the handle 52 is manually rotated to make the bushing 51 and the insert block 53 synchronously drive the placement platform 43 to rotate. Since an anti-slip pad is installed inside the bottom opening 44, the glass tube is wrapped in an anti-slip manner, which increases the friction between the glass tube and the bottom opening 44, thereby making the glass tube rotate, which is convenient for detection with the high-definition camera 32.

[0027] Preferably, in one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a material box 6 is installed on the right side of the operating table 1. There are two sets of material boxes 6. Identification stickers are attached to the top side of the material box 6. The material box 6 is used to collect glass tubes that are qualified / unqualified after testing.

[0028] Working principle of this utility model:

[0029] During operation, pulling the handle upwards raises the top plate 46 under the limit of the tension spring telescopic rod 45, placing the bottom of the glass tube into the bottom opening 44. Releasing the handle resets the top plate 46, allowing the positioning pin 47 to insert into the top opening of the glass tube, completing the inspection and positioning of the glass tube. Placing the base 42 inside the housing 3, with its two bottom sides engaging with the slot plate 41, limits the position of the base 42, completing the installation and pre-inspection positioning of the glass tube. The placement mechanism 4 facilitates manual pre-loading of glass tubes, allowing the next glass tube to be placed immediately after the previous one is inspected, improving inspection efficiency and making manual operation more convenient. The operation involves opening the door 31, placing the placement mechanism 4 inside the housing 3, activating the high-definition camera 32 to perform an appearance inspection on the glass tube, and transmitting the inspection image to the display 2 in real time for manual review. When the base 42 is inserted into the slot plate 41, the rectangular slot 49 of the positioning tube 48 is simultaneously inserted into the insertion block 53. During the inspection process, the handle 52 is manually rotated to make the bushing tube 51 and the insertion block 53 simultaneously drive the placement platform 43 to rotate. Since the bottom opening 44 is equipped with an anti-slip pad, it provides anti-slip protection for the glass tube, increasing the friction between the glass tube and the bottom opening 44, thereby causing the glass tube to rotate, which facilitates inspection in conjunction with the high-definition camera 32.

[0030] The above embodiments are merely one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications or refinements made to the main design concept and spirit of this utility model that are not of substantial significance, but solve the same technical problem as this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
