Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic packaging technology, specifically to an automatic syringe dispensing production line. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and assembly of glue dispensing syringes, the need to integrate multiple components such as glue barrels, inner plugs, and outer caps results in a multi-step assembly process. Currently, the mainstream practice in the industry is that after the various components are classified and packaged, the syringes are manually transported to a degassing machine for degassing. After the degassing process is completed, the inner plug assembly and back cap pressing are then manually completed.
[0003] This traditional production model not only requires a significant investment in labor costs, but also suffers from difficulties in ensuring the continuity and stability of manual operations. Prolonged work can lead to fatigue and operational errors, such as improper installation of the inner plug or uneven pressing of the back cover, directly impacting the sealing performance and reliability of the rubber sleeve, and consequently causing fluctuations in product yield. Furthermore, the increased manual handling processes prolong the production cycle, making it difficult to adapt to the high-efficiency and standardized requirements of modern production lines, thus hindering the company's capacity expansion and market competitiveness.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, an automatic syringe dispensing production line includes a glue cartridge feeding unit 1, which is used to convey multiple sets of glue cartridges to the feeding end of the production line.
[0028] Robotic arm 2, the robotic arm 2 is used to put the glue tube into the degassing machine 3 and take out the glue tube after degassing and put it into the conveyor production line 4;
[0029] The inner plug pressing mechanism 5 is installed on the conveying production line 4 and is used to press the inner plug into the degassing tube;
[0030] The outer cover pressing mechanism 6 is installed on the conveying production line 4 and is used to press the outer cover into the rubber cylinder.
[0031] In use, after filling the glue tubes, the glue tubes are placed in the glue tube feeding unit 1 on the trolley. This glue tube feeding unit 1 is a glue tube fixture, and each fixture can hold 30 glue tubes. Then, the glue tube feeding unit 1 is pushed into the feeding area, and then the robot arm 2 automatically feeds the glue tubes. The robot arm 2 grabs the glue tubes and inserts them into the slot of the degassing machine 3. Then, the cover of the degassing machine 3 is automatically closed by program control to perform the degassing operation. After degassing is completed, the robot arm 2 then transports the syringe to the slot 401 on the conveyor line 4. The conveyor line 4 transports the glue tubes to the bottom of the inner plug pressing structure to realize the automatic pressing of the inner plug. After pressing, the glue tubes continue to be transported along the conveyor line 4 to the bottom of the outer cover pressing mechanism 6 to realize the automatic pressing of the outer cover. A labeling structure 7 is also provided on one side of the conveyor line 4. The labeling structure is used to label the glue tubes on the production line in sequence.
[0032] With the cooperation of the above-mentioned multiple mechanisms, automatic degassing, inner plug insertion, outer cap insertion, and automatic labeling of the glue tube can be achieved, realizing automated glue tube operation, effectively improving work efficiency and yield, while saving labor costs and saving 100,000 yuan per year.
[0033] It should be noted that, for example, the labeling structure 7 can use an existing mature labeling machine and be connected to the MES system. The specific structure of the labeling structure will not be described in detail here, as it is clear to those skilled in the art.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the specific structure of the glue tube feeding unit 1, i.e., the glue tube fixture, is described. It includes upper and lower fixing plates 101. Multiple through slots 102 are arrayed on each fixing plate 101, and the positions of the through slots 102 on the upper and lower fixing plates 101 correspond to each other to facilitate the fixing of the glue tubes. This arrangement not only neatly fixes multiple glue tubes, for example, accommodating 30 glue tubes simultaneously, but also, due to the corresponding positions of the through slots 102, the glue tubes can be constrained to be perpendicular to the fixing plates 101, thus facilitating gripping by the robotic arm 2.
[0035] In one embodiment, the robotic arm 2 is a six-axis robotic arm 2, which is equipped with a photo recognition unit, i.e., CCD, which can take a photo to position the glue tube when it is gripping it. After gripping, it is moved above the degassing machine 3 and then taken a photo to position it again to confirm the direction of the insertion angle. Then the glue tube is inserted into the slot of the degassing machine 3 to ensure the degassing effect.
[0036] In one embodiment, the degassing machine 3 includes a body 301 and a cover 302. A hydraulic rod 303 is disposed between the body 301 and the cover 302. The hydraulic rod 303 is used to open or close the cover 302. The hydraulic rod 303 can be controlled by a programmable controller to automatically open or close the cover 302, reducing manual intervention and achieving automation. For example, a sensor is disposed above the cover 302. When the cover 302 is open, if the robotic arm 2 moves above the cover 302, the sensor will detect this and automatically open the cover 302. Conversely, if the cover 302 is open and the robotic arm 2 is detected leaving, the cover 302 will automatically close. Specific program control is a mature existing technology and will not be elaborated here. The sensor can be an infrared sensor.
[0037] In one embodiment, the inner plug pressing mechanism 5 includes a clamp 501 for holding the rubber tube; after the conveying production line 4 conveys the rubber tube to the position of the inner plug pressing structure, the clamp 501 is driven by a cylinder to fix the rubber tube so as to improve the stability when pressing in the inner plug.
[0038] It also includes an adsorption clamp 502, which is used to adsorb the inner plug and place it into the rubber tube. The adsorption clamp 502 is fixed below the multi-directional motion unit 503. The adsorption clamp 502 can adsorb the inner plug from the inner plug feeding structure on one side, and then, driven by the multi-directional motion unit 503, realize the multi-directional movement of the adsorption clamp 502, thereby realizing the action of adsorbing the inner plug and pressing it into the rubber tube. It should be noted that the multi-directional motion unit 503 can be an X / Y / Z axis motion unit, which is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0039] In one embodiment, the degassing machine 3 and the glue tube feeding unit 1 are distributed on both sides of the robot arm 2, and the inner plug pressing mechanism 5 and the outer cover pressing mechanism 6 are sequentially distributed on the path of the conveying production line 4, thereby realizing the automated operation of glue tube degassing, inner plug pressing and outer cover pressing.
[0040] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
