Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ampoule testing technology, specifically to a rejection mechanism for ampoule testing. Background Technology

[0002] Ampoules are small, sealed glass containers used to hold injectable medications or sterile liquids, playing an irreplaceable role in the pharmaceutical field. Typical ampoules are made of neutral borosilicate glass, a material known for its high chemical stability, strong thermal shock resistance, and low reactivity with drugs, ensuring the contents remain uncontaminated or deteriorated during storage. Their structure consists of three parts: the body, the neck, and the sealing head. The body is usually cylindrical or elliptical, with capacities ranging from 1 ml to 20 ml. The neck is formed into a narrow channel through a drawing process. The top is completely sealed using high-temperature flame sealing technology, creating a vacuum or nitrogen-filled sterile environment.

[0003] After the ampoules are produced, they need to be inspected. Existing technology, under publication number CN212525030U, discloses a fully automatic ampoule inspection machine, including an infeed conveyor belt device, a dial wheel device, and an outlet device. The infeed conveyor belt device includes a conveyor belt and a collection tray, with the conveyor belt connected to the collection tray and the collection tray connected to the dial wheel device. The dial wheel device includes an infeed conveyor screw, an infeed dial wheel, a detection module, an outlet dial wheel, an outlet conveyor screw, and a power module. The infeed conveyor screw is connected to the collection tray and the infeed dial wheel, the infeed dial wheel is connected to the outlet dial wheel, and the outlet dial wheel is connected to the outlet conveyor screw. The detection module is located on top of the infeed dial wheel. The outlet device includes a sorting block, a good product collection tray, and a defective product collection tray. The sorting block is connected to the outlet dial wheel and can be individually connected to the good product collection tray and the defective product collection tray.

[0004] This ampoule inspection machine is equipped with a good product collection tray and a defective product collection tray to distinguish between qualified and unqualified products. The entrances of the two collection trays are arranged adjacent to each other, with each entrance only accommodating one ampoule. By swinging the sorting block to different angles, the ampoule exit line is connected to one of the entrances. However, when the sorting block is adjusting its angle, ampoules behind are blocked by ampoules in front and cannot move further. They must wait for the ampoules in front to enter one of the entrances before they can move. This results in poor continuity of ampoule transport and affects the efficiency of product transport.

[0005] Therefore, a rejection mechanism for ampoule testing is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

It solves the problem that the existing ampoule inspection machine has poor continuity in ampoule conveying, which affects the product conveying efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rejection mechanism for ampoule bottle inspection, comprising a mounting frame and an inspection cabinet body fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame, an inspection camera fixedly mounted on the inner side of the inspection cabinet body, a conveyor chain rotatably mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame, and a bottle kicking mechanism provided on the inspection cabinet body near the conveyor chain.

[0008] The bottle-kicking mechanism includes a connecting plate fixedly installed inside the testing cabinet body, a drive motor fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting plate, and a bottle-kicking block fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor. A retaining ring is provided on one side of the bottle-kicking block, and a tension spring is provided on the top of the bottle-kicking block away from the retaining ring.

[0009] Furthermore, a conveyor motor is fixedly mounted on the outside of the mounting frame, and the conveyor chain is connected to the output shaft of the conveyor motor.

[0010] Furthermore, a material ejector wheel is rotatably mounted on the back of the mounting frame, the material ejector wheel is corresponding to the conveyor chain, and a material ejector motor is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting frame away from the conveyor motor, and the material ejector wheel is connected to the output shaft of the material ejector motor.

[0011] Furthermore, a waste trough is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame, and the outlet of the waste trough is inclined downwards.

[0012] Furthermore, the retaining ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting plate, and the retaining ring is located on the rotation path of the kicking block.

[0013] Furthermore, a first threaded connector is threaded onto the top of the kicking block, and one end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first threaded connector.

[0014] Furthermore, a second threaded connector is threadedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting plate, and the end of the tension spring away from the kicking block is fixedly connected to the second threaded connector.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a rejection mechanism for ampoule bottle detection, which has the following beneficial effects:

[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] Please see Figures 1 to 5 An ampoule rejection mechanism for testing in this embodiment includes a mounting frame 1 and a testing cabinet body 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 1. A testing camera 5 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the testing cabinet body 2. A conveyor chain 3 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame 1. A conveyor motor 4 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the mounting frame 1. The conveyor chain 3 is connected to the output shaft of the conveyor motor 4. A bottle kicking mechanism 6 is provided at the position of the testing cabinet body 2 near the conveyor chain 3.

[0025] It should be noted that a material ejector wheel 9 is rotatably mounted on the back of the mounting frame 1. The material ejector wheel 9 corresponds to the conveyor chain 3. A material ejector motor 8 is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting frame 1 away from the conveyor motor 4. The material ejector wheel 9 is connected to the output shaft of the material ejector motor 8. Qualified ampoules are conveyed to the toothed grooves on the material ejector wheel 9 through the conveyor chain 3. A conveyor can be placed on the outside of the material ejector wheel 9 to facilitate material discharge.

[0026] In this embodiment, the bottle kicking mechanism 6 includes a connecting plate 601 fixedly installed inside the detection cabinet body 2, a drive motor 602 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting plate 601, and a bottle kicking block 603 fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor 602. A retaining ring 604 is provided on one side of the bottle kicking block 603, and a tension spring 605 is provided on the other side of the top of the bottle kicking block 603 away from the retaining ring 604.

[0027] The retaining ring 604 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting plate 601. The retaining ring 604 is located on the rotation path of the kicking block 603. The top of the kicking block 603 is threaded with a first threaded connector 606. One end of the tension spring 605 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first threaded connector 606. The inner wall of the connecting plate 601 is threaded with a second threaded connector 607. The end of the tension spring 605 away from the kicking block 603 is fixedly connected to the second threaded connector 607. The tension spring 605 can elastically pull the kicking block 603, which improves the stability of the structure.

[0028] It should be noted that a waste trough 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 1. The outlet of the waste trough 7 is set to face downwards and tilted downwards. Defective products can be discharged from the machine through the waste trough 7. A receiving box can be placed below the waste trough 7 to collect waste.

[0029] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0030] In use, the drive motor 602 rotates, causing the kicking block 603 to rotate. The kicking block 603 rotates until it is in contact with the retaining ring 604 and then stops, causing the kicking block 603 to deviate from the conveying path of the conveying chain 3. The conveying chain 3 transports the ampoules to the inside of the inspection cabinet 2 for inspection. When the ampoule passes the kicking mechanism 6, the kicking block 603, which is in contact with the retaining ring 604, corresponds to the end of the ampoule. When the ampoule passes the inspection, the kicking block 603 remains stationary, and the qualified product is transported along the conveying chain 3 to the unloading wheel 9 for discharge. When the ampoule fails the inspection, the drive motor 602 reverses and resets the kicking block 603, causing the kicking block 603 to push the unqualified ampoule off the conveying chain 3 and fall into the waste trough 7 below. Then, the drive motor 602 drives the kicking block 603 to rotate again and come into contact with the retaining ring 604. Other ampoules are not affected and continue to be transported by the conveying chain 3.

[0031] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods, and any method that achieves the desired beneficial effect can be implemented. Furthermore, all electrical components in this embodiment are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional, known device such as a computer that performs control functions. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming, and the existing disclosed power connection technologies are common knowledge in the field. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate further on their specific structural composition and working principles.
