Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device production equipment technology, specifically to an auxiliary flipping device for the production of physiotherapy patches. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of therapeutic patches, it is often necessary to flip the patches over to facilitate subsequent processing steps, such as applying ointment and attaching protective films. Currently, some manufacturers use manual flipping, which is not only inefficient and unable to meet the needs of large-scale production, but also prone to contamination from manual handling, affecting product quality.
[0003] In addition, some existing mechanical flipping devices are complex in structure and inconvenient to operate. Some devices have poor flipping effects, easily resulting in incomplete flipping or misalignment of the therapeutic patches, affecting subsequent processing. At the same time, most of these devices cannot flexibly adjust the height between the upper and lower conveyors according to the specifications of the therapeutic patches. When producing therapeutic patches of different thicknesses and sizes, their applicability is poor, requiring the replacement of different equipment or complex adjustments, which increases production costs and operational difficulty. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary flipping device for the production of physiotherapy patches, so as to solve the problems of low efficiency and easy contamination of manual flipping, and poor flipping effect and low applicability of existing mechanical flipping devices.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an auxiliary flipping device for the production of physiotherapy patches, including an upper conveyor and a lower conveyor. The lower conveyor is fixed with four limiting rings and a pair of supports. The upper conveyor is equipped with a sliding rod through a support rod. The bottom end of the sliding rod is fixed with a limiting plate. The upper conveyor is also equipped with a pair of support plates. A reduction motor is fixed on the support. The output shaft of the reduction motor is fixed with a lead screw. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the support plate. The sliding rod is slidably connected to the limiting rings. A feeding hopper is installed at one end of the upper conveyor in the conveying direction. A reverse feeding conveyor belt is inclined on the inner surface of the feeding hopper, and the inclination angle is set to 45 degrees.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer surface of the turning and unloading conveyor belt is provided with anti-slip patterns, which are evenly distributed along the length of the turning and unloading conveyor belt.
[0007] Furthermore, a PLC controller is connected to the geared motor, and the PLC controller is used to control the start, stop, forward and reverse rotation of the geared motor.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer surface of the slide bar is coated with a wear-resistant layer, which is a chromium-plated layer with a thickness of 0.05-0.1mm.
[0009] Furthermore, the lower conveyor belt is provided with positioning grooves, which are adapted to the shape of the physiotherapy patch and are spaced apart along the length of the conveyor belt.
[0010] Furthermore, a guide block is provided at the end of the lead screw away from the geared motor, and the guide block is connected to the lower conveyor through a fixed rod, and the lead screw is rotatably connected to the guide block.
[0011] Furthermore, tensioning wheels are provided at both ends of the flipping and unloading conveyor belt, which are used to adjust the tension of the flipping and unloading conveyor belt.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention uses an upper conveyor to transport the therapeutic patch. When the patch reaches one end, it falls onto the flipping conveyor belt due to gravity, automatically flipping it without manual operation. This improves production efficiency, avoids contamination caused by human contact, and ensures product quality.
[0014] The flipping conveyor belt is tilted at 45 degrees and has anti-slip texture on its outer surface to ensure that the therapeutic patch is stably conveyed on the flipping conveyor belt, preventing slippage and positional deviation, and ensuring the flipping effect.
[0015] The height of the upper conveyor is adjusted by rotating the lead screw driven by the geared motor. This allows the height between the flipping conveyor belt and the lower conveyor to be flexibly adjusted according to the specifications of the therapeutic patch, improving the applicability of the device and enabling it to meet the production needs of therapeutic patches of different thicknesses and sizes.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown;
[0026] An auxiliary flipping device for the production of physiotherapy patches.
[0027] This implementation plan addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art, such as those disclosed in the background section above: "During the production process of physiotherapy patches, it is often necessary to flip the patches over to facilitate subsequent processing steps, such as applying ointment and attaching protective films. In the prior art, some manufacturers use manual flipping, which is not only inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production, but also easily contaminates the physiotherapy patches due to manual contact, affecting product quality."
[0028] Furthermore, some existing mechanical flipping devices are complex in structure and inconvenient to operate. Some devices have poor flipping effects, easily resulting in incomplete flipping or misalignment of the therapeutic patches, affecting subsequent processing. At the same time, most of these devices cannot flexibly adjust the height between the upper and lower conveyors according to the specifications of the therapeutic patches. When producing therapeutic patches of different thicknesses and sizes, their applicability is poor, requiring the replacement of different equipment or complex adjustments, increasing production costs and operational difficulty. In practical terms, this problem is clearly a real and difficult-to-solve issue. Therefore, to address this technical problem, an auxiliary flipping device for therapeutic patch production is provided.
[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure;
[0030] This utility model provides a technical solution: an auxiliary flipping device for the production of physiotherapy patches, including an upper conveyor 1 and a lower conveyor 2. Four limiting rings 21 and a pair of supports 22 are fixed on the lower conveyor 2. A sliding rod 12 is fixedly connected to the upper conveyor 1 via a support rod 11. A limiting plate 13 is welded to the bottom end of the sliding rod 12, preventing the sliding rod 12 from sliding out of the limiting rings 21. A pair of support plates 14 are also welded to the upper conveyor 1. A reduction motor 3 is bolted to the support 22. The output shaft of the reduction motor 3 is fixedly connected to a lead screw 4 via a coupling. The lead screw 4 is threadedly connected to the support plates 14. The sliding rod 12 is slidably connected to the limiting rings 21. A feeding hopper 5 is bolted to one end of the upper conveyor 1 in the conveying direction. A reverse feeding conveyor belt 6 is inclined on the inner surface of the feeding hopper 5 at an angle of 45 degrees.
[0031] The outer surface of the flipping and feeding conveyor belt 6 is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture is evenly distributed along the length of the flipping and feeding conveyor belt 6, which can increase the friction between the therapeutic patch and the conveyor belt.
[0032] A PLC controller is connected to the geared motor 3. The PLC controller is used to control the start, stop and forward / reverse rotation of the geared motor 3, which facilitates automated control.
[0033] The outer surface of the slide rod 12 is coated with a wear-resistant layer, which is a chrome-plated layer with a thickness of 0.05-0.1mm, to improve the wear resistance of the slide rod.
[0034] The lower conveyor 2 has positioning grooves on its conveyor belt. The positioning grooves are adapted to the shape of the physiotherapy patch and are spaced apart along the length of the conveyor belt to position the physiotherapy patch.
[0035] A guide block is provided at the end of the lead screw 4 away from the geared motor 3. The guide block is connected to the lower conveyor 2 by a fixed rod. The lead screw 4 is rotatably connected to the guide block to ensure the stability of the lead screw rotation.
[0036] Tensioning wheels are installed at both ends of the flipping and unloading conveyor belt 6. The tensioning wheels are used to adjust the tension of the flipping and unloading conveyor belt 6 to ensure the normal operation of the conveyor belt.
[0037] Working principle:
[0038] When using the auxiliary flipping device for the production of this therapeutic patch, the PLC controller first starts the geared motor 3 according to the specifications of the therapeutic patch. The geared motor 3 drives the lead screw 4 to rotate. Since the lead screw 4 is threadedly connected to the support plate 14 on the upper conveyor 1, the support plate 14 will drive the upper conveyor 1 to move up and down when the lead screw 4 rotates. At the same time, the upper conveyor 1 slides within the limit ring 21 through the slide rod 12 connected to the support rod 11, which guides the movement of the upper conveyor 1 and ensures that the upper conveyor 1 moves up and down stably. This adjusts the height between the upper conveyor 1 and the lower conveyor 2 so that the height between the flipping and unloading conveyor belt 6 and the lower conveyor 2 is suitable for the therapeutic patch of this specification.
[0039] After adjusting the height, place the therapeutic patch on the upper conveyor 1. The upper conveyor 1 is started, driving the therapeutic patch towards the discharge hopper 5. When the therapeutic patch reaches the end of the upper conveyor 1, it falls onto the flipping discharge conveyor belt 6 inside the discharge hopper 5 under the influence of gravity. Since the flipping discharge conveyor belt 6 is inclined at 45 degrees, the therapeutic patch will flip over when it falls onto the flipping discharge conveyor belt due to its own weight and the inclination angle of the conveyor belt.
[0040] After being flipped over, the therapeutic patch is conveyed downwards by the flipping and unloading conveyor belt 6. The anti-slip texture on the outer surface of the flipping and unloading conveyor belt 6 prevents the therapeutic patch from slipping during the conveying process. Finally, the therapeutic patch is conveyed onto the conveyor belt of the lower conveyor 2, where the positioning groove on the lower conveyor 2 positions the therapeutic patch. The lower conveyor 2 then conveys the flipped therapeutic patch to the next process.
[0041] If the turning and unloading conveyor belt 6 becomes loose during operation, the tension of the conveyor belt can be adjusted by adjusting the tensioning wheel to ensure its normal operation. The chrome-plated wear-resistant layer on the surface of the slide bar 12 reduces wear between the slide bar 12 and the limiting ring 21, extending the service life of the device. The guide block ensures the stability of the rotation of the lead screw 4 and ensures the accuracy of the height adjustment of the upper conveyor 1.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
