AI Technical Summary
During the production of pre-filled syringes, vibrations of the robotic arm during transportation can cause the syringe to shift position, resulting in the robotic arm colliding with the syringe, blurring the graduations and scratching the syringe surface, thus affecting the accuracy of drug dosage reading.
A collision-resistant variable-pitch mechanism for a pre-filled syringe loading robot was designed. Through the cooperation of the clamping plate and the variable-pitch unit, the contact plate gradually contacts the syringe to avoid direct impact. The elastic sheet and elastic plate improve the gripping stability and ensure the integrity of the syringe and the clarity of the scale lines.
This effectively avoids direct impact of the robotic arm on the syringe, ensures clear graduation lines, improves the accuracy of drug dosage reading and the integrity of the syringe surface, and reduces drug waste and cross-contamination.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot arm pitch control technology, and in particular to an anti-collision pitch control mechanism for a pre-filled syringe feeding robot arm. Background Technology
[0002] Prefilled syringes, also known as pre-filled syringes, are a new type of drug packaging system that pre-fills drugs into syringes. They combine the functions of drug storage and injection. By using a quantitative method of drug dispensing, they are more accurate than manual dispensing by medical staff, reduce drug residue, ensure accurate medication, eliminate the process of transferring drugs from packaging to syringe, effectively reduce waste caused by adsorption, and avoid cross-contamination and secondary contamination of drugs.
[0003] The production of pre-filled syringes requires the syringe surface to be graduated to help medical staff or users quickly read the volume of the drug solution and ensure accurate dosage.
[0004] However, when using a robotic arm to grasp a syringe with a calibrated surface, the vibration of the syringe transport line during operation can cause the syringe to shift in position. When the robotic arm descends, it will directly impact the syringe, causing the syringe to fail to be grasped. At the same time, the surface of the syringe will be scratched due to the impact of the robotic arm. As a result, the calibrated scale on the scratched surface of the syringe will be blurred after calibration, affecting the accurate reading of the volume of the drug in the syringe by medical personnel.

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1
[0031] Reference Figure 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an anti-collision variable distance mechanism for a pre-filled syringe loading robot. The anti-collision variable distance mechanism for the pre-filled syringe loading robot includes a robot, which is mounted on a shifting unit. The shifting unit is used to drive the robot to move vertically and horizontally within the same horizontal plane. The robot includes a base plate 1, on which a cylinder 11 is mounted. The cylinder 11 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 1. The cylinder 11 is a bidirectional cylinder with two piston ends that can be synchronously extended and retracted. A gripper unit is mounted on the cylinder 11. The gripper unit includes a first gripping component 2 and a second gripping component 3. The first gripping component 2 and the second gripping component 3 are symmetrically mounted on the cylinder 11.
[0032] Clamping assembly 2 includes clamping plate 21 and clamping plate 22 which is engaged and slidably disposed thereon. A spring is provided between clamping plate 21 and clamping plate 22. A pitch-changing unit 4 is provided between clamping plate 21 and clamping plate 22. Clamping assembly 3 includes clamping plate 31 and clamping plate 42 which is engaged and slidably disposed thereon. The piston end of one end of cylinder 11 is connected to clamping plate 21, and the other piston end of cylinder 11 is connected to clamping plate 31. Both clamping plate 21 and clamping plate 31 are engaged and slidably disposed on base plate 1 to improve the stability of clamping plate 21 and clamping plate 31 when they move relative to each other under the action of cylinder 11.
[0033] A rack 23 is symmetrically arranged on one side of clamping plate 21. The rack 23 is located on the side of clamping plate 21 near clamping plate 22. The pitch-changing unit 4 includes a rack 41 and a gear 42 symmetrically arranged on one side of clamping plate 22. The rack 41 and gear 42 are located on the side of clamping plate 22 near clamping plate 21. The gear 42 meshes with rack 23 and rack 41 respectively. A balance bar 43 is connected to rack 41, and a balance block is provided in the middle of the balance bar 43. The balance block is engaged and slidably mounted on the clamping plate 22. The balance bar 43 is equipped with a rack 3 44. The clamping plate 22 is engaged and rotatably mounted with a nut 45. A gear 2 46 is sleeved on the outside of the nut 45. The gear 2 46 can rotate synchronously with the nut 45. The rack 3 44 meshes with the gear 2 46. The nut 45 is helically connected to a lead screw 47. One end of the lead screw 47 is equipped with a contact plate 1 48. The contact plate 1 48 is located on the side of the clamping plate 21 away from the clamping plate 22.
[0034] Rack 23 is fixedly connected to clamp 21, and rack 41 is engaged and slidably connected to clamp 22. When clamp 22 moves on clamp 21, rack 23 can drive gear 42 to rotate, and the rotation of gear 42 can drive rack 41 to move linearly on clamp 22.
[0035] A limiting groove 471 is provided on the lead screw 47, and a limiting frame 472 is provided on the side of the clamping plate 22 away from the clamping plate 21. The limiting frame 472 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 22.
[0036] The limiting frame 472 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 47, and the limiting frame 472 is provided with a limiting block 473, which is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 471.
[0037] The contact plate 48 is provided with a slot 481, and the bottom of the slot 481 is provided with an anti-slip pad 482. The side of the anti-slip pad 482 away from the contact plate 48 is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip pad 482 is preferably made of rubber.
[0038] During use, the conveyor line first transports the syringe to be gripped to the appropriate position, then the shifting unit drives the robot arm to the top of the syringe, and then shifts it in the direction of the syringe. During the descent of the robot arm, clamping plate 22 and clamping plate 32 will first contact the conveyor line. During the above process, the two piston ends of cylinder 11 are in the extended state.
[0039] When clamping plate 22 and clamping plate 32 come into contact with the conveyor line, as the robot continues to descend, clamping plate 22 begins to slide on clamping plate 21. During the movement of clamping plate 22, gear 42 will start to rotate under the action of rack 23. The rotation of gear 42 will drive rack 41 to slide on clamping plate 22.
[0040] When rack 2 41 moves on clamp 2 22, rack 2 41 will drive balance bar 43 to move, balance bar 43 will drive rack 3 44 to move synchronously, rack 3 44 will drive gear 2 46 to rotate, gear 2 46 will drive nut 45 to rotate.
[0041] Because the limiting block 473 is set in the limiting groove 471, the lead screw 47 cannot rotate under the friction of the nut 45. At this time, the lead screw 47 will start to move linearly. The movement of the lead screw 47 will push the contact plate 48. The contact plate 48 will gradually contact one end of the syringe on the conveyor line. Then, the multiple syringes on the conveyor line will be neatly arranged under the pushing action of the contact plate 48. The slot 481 can limit the syringe being clamped, and the rubber anti-slip pad 482 can prevent the syringe end face from being worn due to excessive clamping force when the syringe is clamped. Example 2
[0042] Reference Figure 1-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that:
[0043] An elastic sheet 33 is provided on the clamping plate 31, and an elastic plate 34 is provided on the clamping plate 42. The elastic sheet 33 is provided on the side of the clamping plate 31 close to the clamping plate 42, and the elastic plate 34 is provided on the side of the clamping plate 42 away from the clamping plate 31. The elastic plate 34 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 42, and the elastic sheet 33 can contact the elastic plate 34. The elastic plate 34 can deform appropriately under the action of the elastic sheet 33.
[0044] During use, as the robotic arm descends, clamping plate 4 32 will be blocked by the conveyor line, and then clamping plate 4 32 will begin to slide on clamping plate 3 31. When clamping plate 4 32 moves to the limit position, elastic sheet 33 will contact elastic plate 34. Elastic plate 34 will deform under the action of elastic sheet 33, and elastic sheet 33 itself will also deform appropriately.
[0045] Then the two piston ends of cylinder 11 retract, and contact plate 48 contacts clamping plate 32 and holds the syringe. At this time, elastic sheet 33 will deform further.
[0046] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.
[0047] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
