[0034] To solve the problem of inconvenient filling during ampoule packaging, such as Figure 3As shown, multiple ampoules are laid flat on the hopper 2 and slowly slide down by their own weight onto the conveying component 1. The conveying component 1 then transports them forward to the right end of the track component 3. At this point, starting the first motor 4 drives the first eccentric wheel 5 to rotate and causes the movable rod assembly 7 to swing back and forth. The two movable rod assemblies 7 then cause the track component 3 to swing back and forth and sort the multiple ampoules, so that the ampoules enter the multiple channels inside the track component 3. Then, the multiple ampoules are transported to the left side in sequence through the conveying component 1, thereby achieving stable sorting, stable conveying, and stable feeding of the ampoules.

[0035] To achieve stable packaging of the ampoules, starting the second motor 8 drives the second eccentric wheel 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the second connecting rod 10 to reciprocate laterally. When the second connecting rod 10 moves to the left, the third connecting rod 25 rotates clockwise, driving the rotating shaft 26 and the fourth connecting rod 27 to rotate. At this time, the two fourth connecting rods 27 rotate, driving the mounting rod 28 to move in an arc to the upper right. Meanwhile, the fourth connecting rod 27 and the mounting rod 28 are in rotational engagement, the sliding shaft 29 and the sliding sleeve 30 are in sliding engagement, and the sliding sleeve 30 and the front support 11 are in rotational engagement. Then, the mounting rod 28 can drive the first electric suction cup 12 to rotate upwards by 90 degrees and align with the left end of the track component 3. Here, the cylinder drives the baffle plate to open, and at this time, multiple ampoules conveyed by the track component 3 can be attracted and fixed by the first electric suction cup 12. Then, through the reverse transmission between the second motor 8 and the first electric suction cup 12, the first electric suction cup 12 can drive the multiple ampoules to rotate in the opposite direction by 90 degrees. At this time, multiple ampoules can be placed into the blister pack. Then, the above actions are repeated to complete continuous feeding.

The sliding sleeve 30 is slidably sleeved on the sliding shaft 29. The front side of the sliding sleeve 30 is rotatably connected to the top end of the front bracket 11.

[0036] To achieve stable support for the conveying component 1, the support assembly includes a housing 13, a slide 14, and a base 15. The top of the housing 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the conveying component 1. The top of the slide 14 extends into the interior of the housing 13 and slides in connection with the inner wall of the housing 13. The base 15 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the slide 14. A lifting assembly is provided on the top inner wall of the housing 13, and the lifting assembly cooperates with the slide 14.

[0037] To enable flexible movement of the conveying component 1, four casters 16 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the base 15.

[0038] To achieve height adjustment of the conveying component 1, the third motor 20 is activated to drive the first gear 21 to rotate. The first gear 21 then drives the two second gears 24 to rotate, which in turn drives the two lead screws 22 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the lead screws 22 and the slide 14, the height between the slide 14 and the housing 13 can be adjusted. This allows for adjustment of the height of the conveying component 1 according to usage needs, making it highly adaptable. The lifting assembly includes the third motor 20, the first gear 21, the two lead screws 22, and the two second gears 24. The third motor 20 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the housing 13. The first gear 21 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the third motor 20. The top ends of the two lead screws 22 are rotatably connected to the top inner wall of the housing 13.

[0040] In order to achieve stable positioning of the base 15, slide 14, housing 13 and conveying component 1, two mounting slots 17 are provided at the bottom of the base 15. Electric push rods 18 are fixedly installed on the top inner walls of the two mounting slots 17, and second electric suction cups 19 are fixedly installed on the output shafts of the two electric push rods 18.

[0041] It should be noted that the specific models of conveying components 1, first motor 4, second motor 8, first electric suction cup 12, electric push rod 18, second electric suction cup 19, and third motor 20 used can be selected by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the above-mentioned conveying components 1, first motor 4, second motor 8, first electric suction cup 12, electric push rod 18, second electric suction cup 19, and third motor 20 are all existing technologies, and this solution will not elaborate on them.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, firstly, the conveying component 1, the first motor 4, the second motor 8, the first electric suction cup 12, the electric push rod 18, the second electric suction cup 19, and the third motor 20 are connected to an external power source. Then, multiple ampoules are laid flat on the hopper 2 and slowly slide down onto the conveying component 1 under their own weight. The ampoules are then conveyed forward by the conveying component 1 to the right end of the track component 3. At this point, starting the first motor 4 drives the first eccentric wheel 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the movable rod assembly 7 to swing back and forth. The two movable rod assemblies 7 then drive the track component 3 to move back and forth. The system shakes and feeds multiple ampoules, guiding them into multiple channels within the track component 3. These ampoules are then sequentially conveyed to the left via the conveyor component 1, achieving stable feeding, conveying, and dispensing of the ampoules. The second motor 8 drives the second eccentric wheel 9 to rotate, causing the second connecting rod 10 to reciprocate laterally. When the second connecting rod 10 moves to the left, the third connecting rod 25 rotates clockwise, driving the rotating shaft 26 and the fourth connecting rod 27 to rotate. At this time, the two fourth connecting rods 27 rotate, causing the mounting rod 28 to move to the right. The device moves upward in an arc shape. At this time, the fourth connecting rod 27 rotates with the mounting rod 28, the sliding shaft 29 slides with the sliding sleeve 30, and the sliding sleeve 30 rotates with the front bracket 11. Then, the mounting rod 28 drives the first electric suction cup 12 to rotate upward 90 degrees and align with the left end of the track component 3. Here, the cylinder drives the baffle plate to open, allowing multiple ampoules conveyed by the track component 3 to be attracted and fixed by the first electric suction cup 12. Then, through the reverse transmission between the second motor 8 and the first electric suction cup 12, the first electric suction cup 12 can be driven to move multiple ampoules... The ampoules are flipped 90 degrees in the opposite direction, allowing multiple ampoules to be placed into the blister pack. The above actions are then repeated to complete continuous feeding. In addition, starting the third motor 20 drives the first gear 21 to rotate, which in turn drives two second gears 24 to rotate. The two second gears 24 then drive two lead screws 22 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the lead screws 22 and the slide 14, the height between the slide 14 and the housing 13 can be adjusted, thereby allowing the height of the conveying component 1 to be adjusted according to usage needs, making it highly adaptable.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
