Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of medicine box packaging technology, specifically a semi-automatic medicine box packing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the pharmaceutical industry, the level of automation in drug packaging has gradually improved, making the conveying and stacking of medicine boxes a crucial step. On drug conveyor lines, medicine boxes typically move horizontally along the conveyor belt. However, to meet the needs of subsequent packaging, storage, or repackaging, medicine boxes often need to be changed from a horizontal to an vertical position. After being packaged in the vertical position, they are then manually repackaged into cardboard boxes.

[0003] Chinese patent CN216233249U discloses a medicine box flipping device. The conveying device includes a conveyor frame and a limiting mechanism, a first fine-tuning mechanism, and a second fine-tuning mechanism mounted on the conveyor frame. The flipping device includes a flipping frame and a belt mounted on the flipping frame, and a flipping structure. The flipping device is located on the conveyor side of the conveyor belt of the conveying device. The added limiting mechanism allows for fine-tuning of the initial medicine box position, adjusting medicine boxes with large angles to a near-aligned state. After a 90° flip by the first fine-tuning mechanism and adjustment by the second fine-tuning mechanism, the medicine boxes are correctly aligned before entering the flipping mechanism, enabling accurate vertical horizontal stacking. After stacking, the medicine boxes need to be packaged, thus requiring a device for packaging after the medicine boxes are flipped. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] refer to Figures 1-7 A semi-automatic medicine box packing device includes a box feeding mechanism 1, a strapping mechanism 2, an adsorption conveying mechanism 3, and a box feeding mechanism 4. The strapping mechanism 2 is arranged at the output end of the box feeding mechanism 1. The box feeding mechanism 1 is used to convey multiple horizontally stacked medicine boxes A to the strapping mechanism 2. The strapping mechanism 2 is used to strap and bind the multiple horizontally stacked medicine boxes A to form a medicine box stack. The multiple medicine box stacks can be stacked sequentially along the length direction of the strapping mechanism 2.

[0034] The carton feeding mechanism 4 is used to transport the carton B to the opposite side of the medicine box stack. The carton feeding mechanism 4 is provided with symmetrically arranged flaring components 41, which are used to open the carton cover C on the top of the carton B.

[0035] The adsorption and conveying mechanism 3 can adsorb multiple stacks of medicine boxes at the belt-bundling mechanism 2, move the stacks of medicine boxes above the carton B on the carton-feeding mechanism 4, and then move them down to put the stacks of medicine boxes into the carton B.

[0036] Before describing the implementation of this embodiment, a preliminary description of each mechanism will be given to fully describe the workflow of this embodiment.

[0037] The box feeding mechanism 1 includes a second belt conveyor 11, a flipping conveyor unit 12, a temporary storage unit 13, and a pushing unit 14 arranged in sequence. The medicine box A is located on the second belt conveyor 11 in a flat position and is conveyed to the flipping conveyor unit 12 by the second belt conveyor 11. The flipping conveyor unit 12 flips the medicine box A from the flat position to the upright position and conveys the upright medicine box A into the temporary storage unit 13. The medicine boxes A in the temporary storage unit 13 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the temporary storage unit 13. The pushing unit 14 is arranged on one side of the temporary storage unit 13 and can push the medicine boxes A in the temporary storage unit 13 into the belt-binding mechanism 2.

[0038] Specifically, the second belt conveyor 11 is connected to the external boxing mechanism. Refer to the technical solution disclosed in Chinese Patent CN108974447A. Simply put, the medicine box A, medicine blister pack, and instruction manual have been completed in the previous process and are transported to the flipping conveyor unit 12 in a flat position by the second belt conveyor 11. The flipping conveyor unit 12 flips the medicine box A from the flat position to the upright position and transports the upright medicine box A to the temporary storage unit 13. The medicine boxes A in the temporary storage unit 13 are arranged sequentially along the length of the temporary storage unit 13. The pushing unit 14 is arranged on one side of the temporary storage unit 13 and pushes the medicine boxes A stacked from the end to the middle of the temporary storage unit 13 to the belt-binding mechanism 2.

[0039] The strapping mechanism 2 is specifically a strapping machine 21. The strapping machine 21 is provided with a first limiting plate 211 and a second limiting plate 212. The first limiting plate 211 is symmetrically arranged on the strapping machine 21. The first limiting plate 211 is provided with a notch 2112 for the strapping to pass through. The end of the first limiting plate 211 near the box feeding mechanism 1 is provided with a bend 2111. The bend 2111 on the symmetrically arranged first limiting plate 211 forms a flared part. The free ends of the symmetrically arranged first limiting plate 211 are connected through the second limiting plate 212.

[0040] Specifically, the pushing unit 14 pushes the stacked medicine boxes A from the end to the middle of the temporary storage unit 13 from the flared part onto the strapping machine 21. Specifically, the stacked medicine boxes A are located between the first limiting plate 211 and the second limiting plate 212. After the pushing unit 14 completes one push, it resets. This push is defined as the first push. After the reset, the second belt conveyor 11 and the flipping conveyor 12 cooperate to form a stack again at the corresponding position of the pushing unit 14. The pushing unit 14 pushes again to complete the second push. During the push of the second batch, the second batch will come into contact with the first batch and push the first batch of medicine boxes A forward to the strapping position of the strapping machine 21. The strapping machine 21 straps the first batch to form a medicine box stack.

[0041] The strapping machine 21 is existing technology. For details, please refer to the technical solution disclosed in Baidu Encyclopedia or Chinese Patent CN221624068U. It should be noted that the strapping machine 21 is equipped with an induction photoelectric sensor, which is common knowledge in the field and is also recorded in Baidu Encyclopedia. The specific working method is as follows: the second batch pushes the first batch of medicine boxes A to the working area of ​​the strapping machine 21, that is, triggers the induction photoelectric sensor to complete the strapping of the first batch of medicine boxes A. Then the third batch will move the second batch forward to push the first batch out of the induction photoelectric sensor area, while the second batch enters the induction photoelectric sensor area, and then the second batch is strapped. In this way, the medicine box stacks are stacked sequentially along the length direction of the strapping machine 21, and the adsorption conveying mechanism 3 adsorbs multiple medicine box stacks.

[0042] The adsorption conveying mechanism 3 includes a frame 31, a horizontal drive unit 32 connected to the frame 31, a lifting drive unit 33 connected to the output end of the horizontal drive unit 32, a connecting frame 34 connected to the lifting drive unit 33, and multiple vacuum nozzles 35 connected to the connecting frame 34.

[0043] Specifically, both the horizontal drive unit 32 and the lifting drive unit 33 can be driven by a motor ball screw, a motor synchronous belt module, or a conventional robotic arm.

[0044] If a ball screw is used, the lifting drive unit 33 can employ a slider and optical shaft to ensure the stability of its horizontal movement. Similarly, the connecting frame 34 can also employ a slider and optical shaft to ensure the stability of its vertical movement. The horizontal drive unit 32 is connected to the ball screw via a motor, meaning the lifting drive unit 33 is connected to the slider of the screw in the horizontal drive unit 32. The horizontal movement of the lifting drive unit 33 is achieved by rotating the screw. Similarly, the connecting frame 34 is connected to the slider of the screw in the lifting drive unit 33, and the vertical movement of the connecting frame 34 is achieved by rotating the screw.

[0045] After the connecting frame 34 moves above the strapping machine 21, it adsorbs the stacks of medicine boxes in a downward motion. Specifically, multiple vacuum nozzles 35 on the connecting frame 34 generate suction through an external vacuum generator, adsorbing the stacks of medicine boxes upon contact. The vacuum lines on the vacuum nozzles 35 are not shown in the figure. After multiple vacuum nozzles 35 have adsorbed multiple stacks of medicine boxes, the connecting frame 34 moves upward and then horizontally above the box delivery mechanism 4.

[0046] The box feeding mechanism 4 is specifically a first belt conveyor, which is equipped with an infrared sensor 42.

[0047] The operator places carton B on the first belt conveyor. It is important to note that when placing carton B, the opening of carton B should face upwards, and the top of carton B has four lid pieces C, which are located on both sides and both ends of carton B. When placing carton B, it is also necessary to ensure that the lid pieces C are open and facing upwards. Each lid piece C should be vertical or slightly tilted outwards, and should not be completely horizontal or tilted too much. If it is completely horizontal or tilted too much, it will collide with the flaring assembly 41. When carton B moves to the preset position via the first belt conveyor, that is, the position triggered by the infrared sensor 42, carton B is located below the multiple stacks of medicine boxes that are being sucked up.

[0048] The flaring assembly 41 specifically includes a support frame 411, a rod 412, and a rotary drive mechanism 416. The support frames 411 are symmetrically arranged. Both ends of the rod 412 are provided with connecting shafts 413. The rod 412 is rotatably connected to the support frame 411 through the connecting shafts 413 and is located between the symmetrically arranged support frames 411. The rotary drive mechanism 416 is connected to the support frame 411. The output end of the rotary drive mechanism 416 is connected to one of the connecting shafts 413 and is used for the rotation of the rod 412.

[0049] The rod 412 is provided with two symmetrically arranged plates 414. Each plate 414 has a pressure bar 415 at its free end. The pressure bar includes a horizontal part 4151 and an inclined part 4152. The horizontal part 4151 is connected to the plate 414.

[0050] When the rod 412 rotates, it causes the plate 414 to swing, so that the horizontal part 4151 contacts the box cover C on the side of the carton B, and the inclined part 4152 contacts the box cover C on the end face of the carton B.

[0051] Among them, rod 412 is a square rod.

[0052] After carton B reaches the preset position, in the initial state, plate 414 is horizontal, and carton B passes under plate 414. The distance between plate 414 and the first belt conveyor is greater than the distance of carton B plus its lid C. The four rods 412 are located above the four corners of carton B. The rotation drive mechanism 416 drives the rods 412 to rotate, which in turn drives plate 414 to swing towards carton B. This causes the horizontal part 4151 to contact the lid C on the side of carton B, and the inclined part 4152 to contact the lid C on the end face of carton B, pressing the lid C to tilt it outward. Then, the connecting frame 34 descends, placing multiple stacks of medicine boxes into carton B. The suction is released and the carton moves upward, completing the first layer of packing. A second suction operation is then performed to complete the second layer of packing. The operator can set the number of runs according to the actual situation. After the preset number of runs is reached, the first belt conveyor starts and sends out the fully loaded carton B.

[0053] It should also be noted here that, Figure 3 The diagram only shows the structure of two plates 414 and does not limit the spacing between the two plates 414 in actual use.

[0054] The aforementioned temporary storage unit 13 specifically includes a temporary storage rack 131, a first baffle 132, a second baffle 133, and a third baffle 135 disposed on the temporary storage rack 131. The first baffle 132 and the second baffle 133 are arranged side by side, forming a temporary storage area 134 for temporarily storing the medicine box A between the first baffle 132 and the second baffle 133. The length of the first baffle 132 is greater than the length of the second baffle 133. The second baffle 133 forms a notch 137 on the temporary storage rack 131 extending from the middle of the temporary storage rack 131 to the end of the temporary storage rack 131. The strap mechanism 2 is connected to the notch 137. 37. The first baffle 132 is provided with a through groove 138 arranged opposite to the notch 137. The pushing unit 14 is opposite to the through groove 138. The through groove 138 is used for the output end of the pushing unit 14 to pass through, so as to push the medicine box A in the temporary storage area 134 to the strapping mechanism 2. The third baffle 135 is located at the end of the temporary storage rack 131 away from the flipping conveyor unit 12. The third baffle 135 is provided with a limiting rod 136 extending along the length direction of the temporary storage rack 131. The bottom of the limiting rod 136 is provided with a brush part (not shown in the figure). The limiting rod 136 is located above the temporary storage area 134.

[0055] Specifically, the size of the notch 137 determines the number of pillboxes A pushed out. During operation, pillboxes A on the temporary storage rack 131 are arranged sequentially along the length of the temporary storage area 134, with some pillboxes A located opposite the notch 137. Pillboxes A in this position are simultaneously opposite both the notch 137 and the through slot 138. When the pushing unit 14 is activated, its output end passes through the through slot 138 and pushes multiple pillboxes A located at this position, causing pillboxes A to be pushed away from the second belt conveyor 11 through the notch 137 and enter the belt-binding mechanism 2, i.e., the belt-binding machine 21. The third baffle 135 is used to limit the stacking length of pillboxes A to prevent excessive accumulation. At the same time, by setting a limiting rod 136 extending along the length of the temporary storage rack 131 on the third baffle 135, and setting a brush part at the bottom of the limiting rod 136, specifically a brush, the collapse of pillboxes A during stacking can be effectively limited.

[0056] Furthermore, the pushing unit 14 includes a support base 141 arranged on one side of the temporary storage rack 131, a cylinder 142 connected to the support base 141, a push plate 145 connected to the cylinder 142, and a side plate 146 connected to the end of the push plate 145. The length of the push plate 145 extends along the length direction of the temporary storage rack 131, the side plate 146 is perpendicular to the push plate 145, and the length of the push plate 145 extends along the width direction of the temporary storage rack 131.

[0057] In actual use, the cylinder 142 pushes its push plate 145 through the through groove to push the medicine box A stacked on the second belt conveyor 11, while the side plate 146 limits the medicine box A that has not been pushed on the second belt conveyor 11 to prevent it from entering the working range of the cylinder 142.

[0058] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the smooth movement of the push plate 145, a guide rod 143 is also connected to the push plate 145, and a mounting base 144 is provided on the support base 141. The guide rod 143 and the mounting base 144 are slidably connected.

[0059] The aforementioned rotary drive mechanism 416 specifically includes a drive cylinder 4162 and a connecting plate 4161. One end of the connecting plate 4161 is fixedly connected to one of the connecting shafts 413, and the other end of the connecting plate 4161 is provided with a connecting column 4163. The cylinder body of the drive cylinder 4162 is rotatably connected to the support frame 411, and the power output end of the drive cylinder 4162 is rotatably connected to the connecting column 4163.

[0060] In use, both the connecting plate 4161 and the driving cylinder 4162 are arranged at an angle. Specifically, the two are at an angle. The driving cylinder 4162 pushes the connecting plate 4161 to move, causing the connecting plate 4161 to swing, which in turn drives the rod 412 to rotate and causes the plate 414 to swing.

[0061] The aforementioned flipping conveyor unit 12 specifically includes a fixed frame 121 and a conveyor belt 122. The conveyor belt 122 is symmetrically arranged on the fixed frame 121, and the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 122 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the fixed frame 121. A top block 124 is also provided on the support frame 411, and the top block 124 is located between the symmetrically arranged conveyor belts 122. A guide plate 123 is also symmetrically arranged on the support frame 411, and the guide plate 123 is located between the conveyor belt 122 and the conveying mechanism.

[0062] In use, pillbox A is conveyed to the fixed frame 121 in a flat position. The first pillbox A to arrive is pushed forward by the pillboxes A behind it, with both sides of pillbox A contacting the conveyor belt 122. During forward movement, it contacts the top block 124, forming a pivot point for flipping. Through continuous contact with the conveyor belt 122, pillbox A flips to an upright position. The guide plate 123 guides pillbox A between the symmetrically arranged conveyor belts 122. For the working principle of the flipping conveyor unit 12, please refer to the pillbox A flipping device disclosed in Chinese Patent CN219790670U, and also to the pillbox A flipping mechanism disclosed in Chinese Patent CN219790670U.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements or modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements or modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
