Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire drawing and filling machine technology, specifically to a bottle body conveying mechanism for an ampoule wire drawing and filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Ampoules are widely used as common pharmaceutical packaging containers. They are typically processed using a wire-filling machine, which handles feeding, conveying, softening, sealing, and unloading. The conveying stage refers to the stable transport of the ampoules to complete the softening and sealing operations.

[0003] Currently, ampoule filling and sealing machines typically use conveyor belts to transport ampoules. That is, the ampoules are placed vertically on the conveyor belt, and the ampoules will move with the conveyor belt to complete the transport of the ampoules.

[0004] However, while conveying vertically placed ampoules directly via a conveyor belt is convenient, the softening and sealing operations during transport can disturb the ampoules, leading to instability and even tipping over, thus affecting normal operation. Currently, side baffles are used to limit tipping, but the continuous sliding of ampoules on the side baffles increases wear and tear, affecting the quality of the ampoules. Therefore, a bottle conveying mechanism for an ampoule drawing and sealing machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a bottle conveying mechanism for an ampoule drawing and sealing machine, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art that the conveying mechanism of the existing drawing and sealing machine is difficult to stably convey ampoules vertically, and that ampoules are prone to wear.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bottle conveying mechanism for an ampoule drawing and sealing machine, comprising a base plate, with a left column and a right column respectively provided at both ends of the top surface of the base plate, a limit block provided at the top of each of the left and right columns, and a rotating wheel rotatably connected to the upper limit block of each of the left and right columns, a belt sleeved between the two rotating wheels, and a plurality of arc blocks provided on the side wall of the belt. This conveying mechanism also includes a driving assembly for driving the rotating wheels to rotate.

[0007] The right column is fixedly and slidably connected to an L-shaped support plate. The L-shaped support plate has a front through-hole located below the arc block on one side of the belt. Several short shafts are arranged on the inner side wall of the front through-hole along the length of the front through-hole, and rollers are rotatably connected to the short shafts.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a motor, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, a pinion gear is sleeved on the top of the rotating shaft, and a number of tooth blocks are evenly spaced on the bottom outer wall of one of the two rotating wheels around its central axis, the pinion gear and the tooth blocks meshing.

[0009] Preferably, the L-shaped support plate includes a sliding opening at its end, and the inner wall of the sliding opening is provided with a straight protrusion.

[0010] Preferably, the right column has a straight groove and the lower outer wall of the right column has an external thread.

[0011] Preferably, the straight protrusion slides within the straight groove, and the lower part of the right column is threaded with an internally threaded ring.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the internally threaded ring sleeve is provided with a handle, and the internally threaded ring sleeve is used to abut against the L-shaped support plate.

[0013] Preferably, the inner diameter of the sliding perforation is equal to the outer diameter of the right column.

[0014] Preferably, the top end of the base plate near the left column is fixedly connected to the motor via a connecting collar.

[0015] Preferably, a limiting sleeve is fitted onto the left column, and the rotating shaft passes through the limiting sleeve and is rotatably connected to the limiting sleeve.

[0016] Preferably, the top of the base plate has several fixing holes for fixing the base plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. This mechanism utilizes the coordinated arrangement of belts, arc blocks, L-shaped pallets, and drive components. The rotation of the belt drives the movement of the arc blocks, thereby achieving stable conveying of ampoules placed within the arc blocks. This allows for stable vertical conveying of the ampoules. Simultaneously, the use of rollers rotating on a short shaft ensures smoother movement of the ampoules on the L-shaped pallet, reducing wear on the bottom of the ampoules during conveying and guaranteeing their quality. The structure is simple, efficient, and suitable for widespread application in wire drawing and filling machines.

[0019] 2. This device, through the arrangement and cooperation of L-shaped support plates, straight grooves, and internal threaded rings, utilizes the sliding connection of the L-shaped support plate, which can be fixed on the right column, to achieve quick adjustment of the height of the L-shaped support plate. This ensures the stability of ampoules of different heights during transportation, improves the applicability of this mechanism, and features a simple structure and convenient operation, making it suitable for widespread application in wire drawing and filling machines.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a bottle conveying mechanism in an ampoule drawing and sealing machine:

[0029] A bottle conveying mechanism for an ampoule drawing and sealing machine includes a base plate 1. A left column 2 and a right column 21 are respectively provided at both ends of the top surface of the base plate 1. Limit blocks 22 are provided at the top of the left column 2 and the right column 21. Rotary wheels 3 are rotatably connected to the upper limit blocks 22 of the left column 2 and the right column 21. A belt 31 is sleeved between the two rotating wheels 3. Several arc blocks 32 are provided on the side wall of the belt 31.

[0030] It should be noted that several arc blocks 32 are evenly spaced on the belt 31 to push the ampoule body located within the arc blocks 32 to move with the belt 31, thereby achieving the effect of conveying the ampoule body. It should be noted that the belt 31 is in a taut state, and the drive component drives the rotating wheel 3 to rotate, thereby driving the belt 31 to move.

[0031] This conveying mechanism also includes a drive assembly for driving the rotary wheel 3 to rotate.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, the right column 21 is fixedly and slidably connected to an L-shaped support plate 4. The L-shaped support plate 4 is located below the arc block 32 on one side of the belt 31 and has a front through-hole 41. The inner side wall of the front through-hole 41 is provided with several short shafts 42 along the length of the front through-hole 41, and rollers 43 are rotatably connected to the short shafts 42.

[0033] It should be further noted that several short shafts 42 are equally spaced, and correspondingly, several rollers 43 are equally spaced. Furthermore, the rolling direction of the rollers 43 is consistent with the conveying direction of the ampoules. It should also be noted that, referring to... Figure 1 As shown, the distance between the open ends of the arc blocks 32 is less than the inner diameter of the arc blocks 32. The ampoule placed inside the arc blocks 32 moves with the movement of the arc blocks 32, thereby achieving the delivery of the ampoule.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the drive assembly includes a motor 5, the output end of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 52, a pinion 53 is sleeved on the top of the rotating shaft 52, and a plurality of tooth blocks 54 are arranged at equal intervals around the bottom outer side wall of one of the two rotating wheels 3 around its central axis, and the pinion 53 and the tooth blocks 54 mesh.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-4As shown, the L-shaped tray 4 includes a sliding opening 44 at its end, and a straight protrusion 45 is provided on the inner side wall of the sliding opening 44. A straight groove 23 is provided on the right column 21, and an external thread 24 is provided on the lower outer side wall of the right column 21. The straight protrusion 45 slides within the straight groove 23, and an internal threaded ring 25 is threadedly connected to the lower part of the right column 21. A handle is provided on the outer side wall of the internal threaded ring 25, which is used to abut against the L-shaped tray 4. It should be noted that the matching arrangement of the straight protrusion 45 and the straight groove 23 allows the L-shaped tray 4 to slide up and down on the right column 21 without rotating, ensuring that the rollers 43 are always located below the arc block 32. The internal threaded ring 25 abuts against the L-shaped tray 4, thereby fixing the position of the L-shaped tray 4 according to the height of the ampoule.

[0036] It should be noted that the inner diameter of the sliding opening 44 is equal to the outer diameter of the right column 21. This design makes the L-shaped support plate 4 more stable when sliding on the right column 21 or supporting the ampoule, thus preventing it from shaking.

[0037] It should be further explained that the top of the base plate 1, near the end of the left column 2, is fixedly connected to the motor 5 via a connecting collar 12. A limiting sleeve 51 is fitted onto the left column 2, and the rotating shaft 52 passes through the limiting sleeve 51 and is rotatably connected to it. Several fixing holes 11 are provided on the top of the base plate 1 for fixing the base plate 1. The setting of the limiting sleeve 51 makes the rotation of the rotating shaft 52 more stable, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the drive assembly.

[0038] The working principle of this mechanism is explained through its operation: When using this conveying mechanism to transport ampoules, simply place the ampoule at one end of the L-shaped tray 4, with the ampoule body positioned within the arc block 32. Start the motor 5; the rotation of the motor 5's output drives the rotating shaft 52 and the pinion 53 to rotate. Since the pinion 53 meshes with the toothed block 54, the rotating wheel 3 equipped with the toothed block 54 begins to rotate on the left column 2, thereby driving the belt 31 to rotate, causing the arc block 32 to follow and ultimately moving the ampoule on the L-shaped tray 4, thus achieving the conveying of the ampoule. It should be noted that ampoule placement can be done manually or using existing feeding mechanisms; this is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon here. The starting and ending points of this conveying mechanism can be determined based on the specific working conditions of existing wire-drawing and sealing machines; this is also existing technology and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0039] When the ampoule moves on the L-shaped tray 4, the ampoule slides on the roller 43 due to the front through-hole 41, the short shaft 42 and the roller 43. Since the roller 43 is rotatably connected on the short shaft 42, the movement of the ampoule is smoother, reducing the wear on the bottom of the ampoule during the transportation process and ensuring the quality of the ampoule.

[0040] When conveying ampoules of different heights, in order to ensure the stability of the ampoules during conveying, the height of the L-shaped support plate 4 needs to be adjusted to ensure that the body of the ampoule can be placed within the arc block 32. At this time, it is only necessary to rotate the internal threaded sleeve 25 to adjust the height of the internal threaded sleeve 25 on the right column 21. Since the L-shaped support plate 4 is fixed to the right column 21 through the internal threaded sleeve 25, the height of the L-shaped support plate 4 can be quickly adjusted to adapt to the conveying of ampoules of different heights on this conveying mechanism.

[0041] This mechanism, through the arrangement and collaboration of belt 31, arc block 32, L-shaped support plate 4, and drive components, utilizes the rotation of belt 31 to drive the movement of arc block 32, thereby achieving stable conveying of ampoules placed within arc block 32. This allows for stable vertical conveying of ampoules. Simultaneously, the roller 43, rotating on short shaft 42, facilitates smoother movement of ampoules on L-shaped support plate 4, reducing wear on the bottom of ampoules during conveying and ensuring ampoule quality. The structure is simple, efficient, and suitable for widespread application in wire drawing and filling machines.

[0042] This device, through the arrangement and cooperation of L-shaped support plate 4, straight groove 23, and internal threaded ring 25, utilizes the sliding connection of L-shaped support plate 4 fixed on right column 21 to achieve quick adjustment of the height of L-shaped support plate 4, ensuring the stability of ampoules of different heights during transportation, improving the application range of this mechanism, with simple structure and convenient operation, suitable for promotion and application on wire drawing and filling machines.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
