Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medicine bottle clamping technology, specifically, it relates to a high-efficiency clamping device for flat medicine bottles. Background Technology

[0002] With continuous social development and technological progress, automated production has become a trend, gradually replacing traditional manual labor and injecting new momentum into the sustainable development of enterprises. Therefore, pharmaceutical manufacturers also need to keep pace with the times, actively promote technological transformation and upgrading, and vigorously develop automated production to improve their "intelligent manufacturing" level and achieve sustainable development.

[0003] During the transfer and packaging process of flat medicine bottles, it is necessary to ensure their directional alignment. Previously, robotic arms were used to directly grasp the bottle caps, which was inefficient and the bottle bodies could not be aligned. Manual readjustment was required during the final packaging and placement into cardboard boxes, resulting in low production efficiency. Therefore, a highly efficient device is needed that can grasp flat medicine bottles while ensuring their directional alignment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a high-efficiency clamping device for flat medicine bottles, which avoids the trouble of not being able to effectively align flat medicine bottles during the clamping and transfer process, making it easy for them to be misaligned, requiring manual adjustment and placement of the inserts, and not being able to be done in one step.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a high-efficiency clamping device for flat medicine bottles, comprising:

[0006] Mounting base, with a connecting flange at the upper end of the mounting base;

[0007] The drive cylinder is located at the lower end of the mounting base. The left fixed end of the drive cylinder is bolted to the first fixed plate, and the right drive end of the drive cylinder is bolted to the second fixed plate.

[0008] The first clamping plate is installed on the first fixed plate, and the first clamping plate has a plurality of first arc-shaped clamping openings;

[0009] The second clamping plate is installed on the second fixed plate. The second clamping plate has multiple second arc-shaped clamping openings, and a square groove is opened at the bottom of the second arc-shaped clamping openings. A protruding elastic block is fixed in the square groove.

[0010] Clamping bars are respectively set at the lower ends of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate, and the clamping bars are located in the middle of the adjacent first arc clamping jaws or the middle of the second arc clamping jaws;

[0011] A photoelectric sensor installed on the first fixed plate and located at the upper end of the first clamping plate;

[0012] When the photoelectric sensor detects the flat medicine bottle, the drive cylinder drives the second fixing plate to approach the first fixing plate, and the bottle mouth of the flat medicine bottle is clamped through the second arc-shaped clamp and the first arc-shaped clamp, while the clamping rod locks the body of the flat medicine bottle from the side.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting flange is used to connect the robotic arm, and a raised seat is provided between the connecting flange and the mounting base.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic block is selected from rubber parts, and when the second arc clamping mouth cooperates with the first arc clamping mouth to clamp the flat medicine bottle, the elastic block is squeezed, so that the arc surface of the second arc clamping mouth is in close contact with the flat medicine bottle.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, multiple photoelectric sensors are provided, each corresponding to a flat medicine bottle.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0017] Through the coordinated design of multiple sets of first and second arc-shaped clamps, multiple medicine bottles can be clamped simultaneously, significantly improving the clamping efficiency of batch operations. The rubber elastic block in the square groove of the second clamp is squeezed and deformed during clamping, so that the arc surface fits tightly against the mouth of the medicine bottle. Together with the clamping bar at the lower end of the clamp, the bottle body is locked from the side, forming a double fixing structure of "mouth fitting clamping + side locking of the bottle body". This effectively prevents the medicine bottle from shaking or slipping, ensuring the stability of the clamping process. At the same time, it locks the direction of the bottle body, and the flat bottle bodies are effectively aligned, making it easy to transfer and package.

[0018] The rubber material of the elastic block can buffer the clamping pressure through deformation, avoiding damage to the medicine bottle caused by hard contact and improving the protection of the appearance and structure of the medicine bottle; multiple photoelectric sensors set according to the number of medicine bottles can accurately detect the position of the medicine bottle and trigger the drive cylinder to achieve automated clamping, reduce manual intervention and reduce the risk of misoperation.

[0019] The compatibility between the connecting flange and the robotic arm, as well as the height adjustment function of the raised seat, make the device easy to integrate into automated production lines. It can flexibly adapt to the clamping needs under different working conditions, combining versatility and flexibility.

[0020] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above-mentioned technical effects at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0029] As shown in the figure, a high-efficiency clamping device for flat medicine bottles includes: a mounting base 10, with a connecting flange 11 at the upper end of the mounting base 10; a driving cylinder 20 disposed at the lower end of the mounting base 10, with a first fixing plate 31 bolted to the left fixed end of the driving cylinder 20 and a second fixing plate 32 bolted to the right driving end of the driving cylinder 20; a first clamping plate 41 mounted on the first fixing plate 31, the first clamping plate 41 having multiple first arc-shaped clamping openings 51; a second clamping plate 42 mounted on the second fixing plate 32, the second clamping plate 42 having multiple second arc-shaped clamping openings 52, and a square groove being formed at the bottom of the second arc-shaped clamping openings 52, with a protruding elastic block 60 fixed in the square groove; clamping rods 70 respectively disposed at the lower ends of the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 42, the clamping rods 70 being located in the middle of adjacent first arc-shaped clamping openings 51 or second arc-shaped clamping openings 52; and a photoelectric sensor 80 mounted on the first fixing plate 31 and located at the upper end of the first clamping plate 41.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting base 10 is an upper base, and the connecting flange 11 is installed in the middle of the upper end for connecting the robotic arm and providing drive. In addition, a shim 12 is provided between the connecting flange 11 and the mounting base 10 to provide height adjustment and facilitate assembly.

[0031] The drive cylinder 20 is located at the lower center of the mounting base 10, with the left side being the fixed end and the right side being the drive end. The first fixed plate 31 and the second fixed plate 32 are respectively installed on the left and right sides. The drive cylinder 20 can drive the second fixed plate 32 to move closer to the first fixed plate 31.

[0032] The first clamping plate 41 is installed at the lower end of the first fixing plate 31, and the second clamping plate 42 is installed at the lower end of the second fixing plate 32. Both have opposing first curved clamping openings 51 and second curved clamping openings 52, which cooperate to clamp the bottle opening. Furthermore, a square groove is provided at the bottom of the second curved clamping opening 52 for installing an elastic block 60. The surface of the elastic block 60 protrudes from the upper end of the square groove of the second curved clamping opening 52, thereby buffering the clamping pressure through deformation, preventing damage to the medicine bottle from hard contact, and improving the protection of the medicine bottle's appearance and structure.

[0033] In addition, clamping rods 70 are provided at the lower ends of the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 42. The clamping rods 70 are located in the middle of the adjacent first arc 51 clamping opening or the middle of the second arc clamping opening 52, locking the bottle body from the side, forming a double fixing structure of "bottle mouth fitting and clamping + bottle body side locking", which effectively prevents the medicine bottle from shaking or slipping, ensuring the stability of the clamping process, while locking the bottle body direction, effectively aligning each flat bottle body, facilitating transfer and packaging, and allowing direct insertion into the compartments for packaging later.

[0034] The photoelectric sensor 80 is used to detect when the medicine bottle is in place. When the photoelectric sensor 80 detects the flat medicine bottle, the drive cylinder 20 drives the second fixing plate 32 to approach the first fixing plate 31. The bottle mouth of the flat medicine bottle is clamped by the second arc clamp 52 and the first arc clamp 51, and the clamping rod 70 locks the body of the flat medicine bottle from the side.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the elastic block 60 is selected from rubber parts, and when the second arc clamp 52 cooperates with the first arc clamp 51 to clamp the flat medicine bottle, the elastic block 60 is squeezed, so that the arc surface of the second arc clamp 52 is in close contact with the flat medicine bottle, providing flexible protection.

[0036] In addition, multiple photoelectric sensors 80 are provided, each corresponding to a flat medicine bottle, to ensure accuracy.

[0037] In summary, this utility model, through the coordinated design of multiple sets of first and second arc-shaped clamps, can simultaneously clamp multiple medicine bottles, significantly improving the clamping efficiency of batch operations. The rubber elastic block in the square groove of the second clamping plate is compressed and deformed during clamping, so that the arc surface fits tightly against the mouth of the medicine bottle. Together with the clamping bar at the lower end of the clamping plate, it locks the bottle body from the side, forming a double fixing structure of "mouth fitting and clamping + side locking of the bottle body". This effectively prevents the medicine bottle from shaking or slipping, ensuring the stability of the clamping process. At the same time, it locks the direction of the bottle body, effectively aligning each flat bottle body, which is convenient for transfer and packaging.

[0038] The foregoing description illustrates and describes several preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, as previously stated, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments.
