Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of packaging machinery, specifically relating to a medicine boxing device. Background Technology

[0002] In pharmaceutical production, cartoning is a crucial step in the packaging process, and its efficiency and quality directly impact production costs and market competitiveness. Traditional drug cartoning methods rely primarily on manual operation, which is not only inefficient and labor-intensive but also prone to errors and contamination due to human factors. While automated production technologies have led to the emergence of various drug cartoning devices, existing systems employ complex robotic arms for gripping and cartoning, resulting in high equipment costs and maintenance difficulties.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide an improved technical solution that addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a pharmaceutical cartoning device includes a feeding belt 7 and a pushing mechanism. The feeding belt 7 is a conventional commercially available conveyor belt that extends to a pharmaceutical cartoning station. The pharmaceutical cartoning station is used to place pharmaceutical outer packaging boxes. At least one side of the outer packaging box corresponding to the feeding belt 7 is open to allow pharmaceuticals to be loaded into the outer packaging box from a horizontal direction. U-shaped limiting plates 8 are evenly distributed on the feeding belt 7. The limiting plates 8 serve as placement stations for products to be cartoned. The pushing mechanism is located on the side of the feeding belt 7 away from the pharmaceutical cartoning station to push the products to be cartoned in the placement station toward the pharmaceutical cartoning station.

[0027] The pushing mechanism includes a pushing frame 1, a guide rail 3, and a slide 5. The pushing frame 1 has sprockets on both sides, and two sets of conveyor chains 2 are respectively mounted on the sprockets on both sides of the pushing frame 1. The corresponding sprockets of the two sets of conveyor chains 2 are connected by the same main shaft. Multiple guide rods 6, adapted to the spacing of the placement stations, are provided between the two sets of conveyor chains 2. The guide rods 6 point towards the feeding belt 7, and their ends are fixed to the two sets of conveyor chains 2 respectively. The multiple guide rods 6 correspond to multiple placement stations, thereby allowing the guide rods 6 and the placement stations to move synchronously.

[0028] The guide rail 3 is a ring track. Projected along the length of the guide rod 6, the guide rail 3 is nearly identical to the conveyor chain 2. A bent portion protruding towards the placement station is located in the middle of the upper half of the guide rail 3. The slide block 5 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 6 to slide along the guide rail 3. A push rod 4 extending towards the placement station is located on the slide block 5. When the slide block 5 passes the bent portion of the guide rail 3, it is restricted by the bent portion, causing the slide block 5 to move upwards towards the feed belt 7, thereby driving the push rod 4 into the placement station. This allows the product to be boxed (hereinafter referred to as medicine) placed at the placement station to be pushed to the medicine boxing station. This application utilizes the synchronous operation of the feed belt 7 and the pushing mechanism to allow the push rod 4 to cyclically advance the medicine, changing the original method of pausing the feed belt 7 before pushing. Dynamic pushing ensures efficient advancement without stopping.

[0029] In one optional embodiment, the feeding belt 7 is a conventional commercially available product. It is driven by multiple drive rollers. The part of the feeding belt 7 corresponding to the pusher frame 1 is provided with a corresponding drive roller. The two ends of the drive roller of the feeding belt 7 are provided with corresponding sprockets, so that they can be driven synchronously by the chain. One of the drive rollers in the feeding belt 7 is connected to a drive motor as a power source. The two sides of the pusher frame 1 are provided with sprockets corresponding to the conveyor chain 2. The sprockets are coaxially assembled with the corresponding drive rollers, so that the corresponding set of placement stations and guide rods 6 are moved synchronously.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the length of the pushing mechanism is less than the length of the feeding belt 7. An outer packaging box conveyor belt is provided on the side of the feeding belt 7 away from the pushing mechanism. Multiple medicine boxing stations are evenly arranged on the outer packaging box conveyor belt. The spacing between the medicine boxing stations is adapted to the spacing between the guide posts or the placement stations. The feeding belt 7 and the outer packaging box conveyor belt are arranged side by side, and the overlapping part of the two is adapted to the length of the pushing mechanism. This allows the corresponding push rod 4, the placement station and the medicine boxing station to form a set of synchronous movements to ensure the efficiency of pushing.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the length of the push rod 4 is adapted to the distance between the end of the guide rail 3 away from the conveying direction of the feeding belt 7 and the placement station, so that the push rod 4 will not interfere with the movement of the limiting component during the cyclic operation. The distance of the bend of the guide rail 3 protruding towards the placement station is adapted to the width of the placement station, thereby ensuring the pushing accuracy and ensuring that the medicine is completely pushed into the outer packaging box.

[0032] The guide rail 3 is a metal track with a dovetail groove extending along its length in its middle. The lower surface of the slide block 5 is provided with a slider corresponding to the dovetail groove, thereby ensuring the stability of the slider's operation.

[0033] Multiple fixed plates are provided on the two sets of conveyor chains 2, and two guide rods 6 corresponding to the slides 5 are provided between the two fixed plates that are distributed opposite to each other on the two sets of conveyor chains 2, so as to stably guide the slides 5 and prevent the slides 5 from shifting.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the guide rail 3 is fixed to the pusher frame 1 by bolts. The pusher frame 1 has a crossbar in the middle corresponding to the guide rail 3. The guide rail 3 extends to the center line of the pusher frame 1 at one end corresponding to the conveying direction of the feeding belt 7, so that the slide 5 can be pushed in a cycle. The push rod 4 is fixed to the slide 5 in a detachable manner by bolts. The outer packaging box conveyor belt is a commercially available product. Similarly, a limiting component is set on its belt surface as a medicine boxing station. No further restrictions are imposed here. The drive roller of the coaxially mounted sprocket extends axially to the outer packaging box conveyor belt so as to be coaxially mounted with the roller shaft of the outer packaging box conveyor belt. Corresponding sprockets and chains are also set at both ends of the roller shaft of the outer packaging box conveyor belt for synchronous drive, so as to ensure synchronous transmission of the pusher mechanism, the feeding belt 7 and the outer packaging box conveyor belt.

[0035] The U-shaped limiting plate 8 includes two L-shaped units distributed opposite to each other. One L-shaped unit is fixed on the feeding belt, and the other L-shaped unit has a strip hole at the bottom that extends along the conveying direction of the feeding belt. The locking screw passes through the strip hole and is threaded to the bottom of the other L-shaped unit, so that the spacing can be adjusted according to the specifications of the product.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be within the scope of protection of the pending claims of the present utility model.
