Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the technical field of draining and drying devices, and more specifically to a draining and drying device for cleaning liquid medicine bottles. Background Technology

[0002] In the pharmaceutical industry, liquid medicine bottles are used to hold liquid medicines, and their cleanliness and dryness directly affect the quality of the medicines.

[0003] Early equipment mainly consisted of simple drying operations, lacking a dedicated dewatering pretreatment mechanism. Medicine bottles with a large amount of residual moisture were directly brought into the drying stage, resulting in a significant increase in drying time, high energy consumption, and difficulty in guaranteeing the drying effect. This severely restricted production efficiency and could not meet the capacity requirements of large-scale industrial production.

[0004] Although some equipment has a drying function, the internal temperature field distribution is uneven. During the drying process, different parts of the medicine bottle are heated to different degrees, which may cause some medicine bottles to be over-dried and damaged, while other medicine bottles still have moisture residue. This poses a great risk to the quality of medicines, especially for medicines that are sensitive to moisture, and may cause problems such as deterioration and ineffectiveness.

[0005] Traditional equipment often has limited functionality and the processes are not well-connected. The processes of draining and drying are often operated independently, requiring frequent manual transfer of medicine bottles. This not only increases labor costs but also greatly increases the risk of secondary contamination of the medicine bottles during the transfer process, making it difficult to achieve automation, continuity, and intelligence in production. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a draining and drying device for liquid medicine bottles after cleaning. By installing a liquid medicine bottle conveying device and a turning device with a drying device, the liquid medicine bottles can be efficiently drained and dried, improving automation; thus solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A device for draining and drying liquid medicine bottles after cleaning, including

[0009] A drying device, the inner side of which is equipped with a liquid medicine bottle conveying device; the liquid medicine bottle conveying device is symmetrically equipped with a tilting device at both ends.

[0010] One of the overturning devices includes a mounting frame, which is fixedly mounted on the front side surface of the conveyor belt by multiple bolts. A telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper end of the mounting frame, and the end of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the push block. The upper surface of the upper end of the mounting frame is symmetrically provided with slide rails, which are slidably connected to the upper slide block.

[0011] The push block is located on the lower surface of the slide block, and the upper end of the mounting bracket is also provided with a sliding groove, which is slidably connected to the push block; a motor mounting base is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the slide block, and a rotary motor is fixedly installed inside the motor mounting base. The end of the rotary motor is connected to a pneumatic gripper, and the other end of the pneumatic gripper is connected to a liquid medicine bottle.

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the upper surface of the conveyor belt is connected to the liquid medicine bottle, and auxiliary conveying frames are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the conveyor belt, and the auxiliary conveying frames are arranged in segments.

[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the conveyor belt is fixedly installed inside the drying chamber, and the bottom of the drying chamber is fixedly connected to the support.

[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the drying chamber is provided with soft curtain doors at both ends, and heating devices and symmetrically arranged motors are installed at the upper end of the drying chamber.

[0015] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a hot air guide frame is provided on the inner side of the upper end of the drying box, and the upper end of the hot air guide frame is connected to the heating device and the motors arranged symmetrically; fan blades are installed at the bottom of each motor.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention features a flipping device that can pre-drain most of the residual moisture from the medicine bottle before it enters the drying device, greatly reducing the burden of subsequent drying. Combined with a highly efficient drying device, it significantly shortens the overall drying time, greatly improves production efficiency, and meets the pace requirements of large-scale industrial production.

[0018] In this invention, the flipping device uses a telescopic cylinder to push a push block, which in turn moves the slide and pneumatic gripper toward the liquid medicine bottle. The rotary motor drives the pneumatic gripper to quickly flip the medicine bottle, allowing the residual water inside to flow out rapidly under the action of gravity and the flipping force. Compared with natural drainage, the time is greatly shortened, and the drainage efficiency can be increased several times. All components of the flipping device work together, and the whole process does not require manual intervention, realizing automated operation and seamlessly connecting with the overall automated process of the equipment.

[0019] This invention, through a heating device, a hot air guide frame, and a hot air circulation system constructed using a motor and fan blades, ensures a uniform temperature distribution within the drying chamber, allowing all parts of the medicine bottle to be heated evenly. This effectively avoids quality problems caused by localized overheating or insufficient drying, ensuring stable and consistent quality of the dried medicine bottles and providing a reliable guarantee for drug quality.

[0033] 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.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-9 In this embodiment of the present invention, a draining and drying device for cleaning liquid medicine bottles includes a drying device 1, and a liquid medicine bottle conveying device 2 is installed inside the drying device 1; the liquid medicine bottle conveying device 2 is symmetrically installed with a flipping device 3 at both ends.

[0035] One of the flipping devices 3 includes a mounting frame 31, which is fixedly mounted on the front side surface of the conveyor belt 21 by multiple bolts. A telescopic cylinder 32 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the upper end of the mounting frame 31, and the end of the telescopic cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the push block 35. The upper surface of the mounting frame 31 is symmetrically provided with slide rails 33, and the slide rails 33 are slidably connected to the upper slide block 34.

[0036] The push block 35 is located on the lower surface of the slide block 34, and the upper end of the mounting bracket 31 is also provided with a sliding groove 39, which is slidably connected to the push block 35; a motor mounting base 36 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the slide block 34, and a rotary motor 37 is fixedly installed inside the motor mounting base 36. The end of the rotary motor 37 is connected to the pneumatic gripper 38, and the other end of the pneumatic gripper 38 is connected to the liquid medicine bottle.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the flipping device 3 pushes the push block 35 through the telescopic cylinder 32, which drives the slide 34 and the pneumatic gripper 38 to move toward the liquid medicine bottle. The rotary motor 37 drives the pneumatic gripper 38 to enable the medicine bottle to flip quickly, allowing the residual water in the bottle to flow out rapidly under the action of gravity and flipping force. Compared with natural drainage, the time is greatly shortened, and the drainage efficiency can be improved by several times. All components of the flipping device 3 work together, and the whole process does not require manual intervention, realizing automated operation and seamlessly connecting with the overall automated process of the equipment.

[0038] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the conveyor belt 21 is connected to the liquid medicine bottle, and auxiliary conveying frames 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the conveyor belt 21, and the auxiliary conveying frames 22 are arranged in segments.

[0039] The conveyor belt 21 is fixedly installed inside the drying chamber 12, and the bottom of the drying chamber 12 is fixedly connected to the support 11.

[0040] The drying chamber 12 is provided with soft curtain doors 13 at both ends, and heating devices 14 and symmetrically arranged motors 15 are installed at the upper end of the drying chamber 12.

[0041] The upper inner side of the drying chamber 12 is provided with a hot air guide frame 17, and the upper end of the hot air guide frame 17 is connected to the heating device 14 and the motor 15 which are symmetrically arranged; each of the motors 15 is equipped with a fan blade 16 at the bottom.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the flipping device 3 can pre-drain most of the residual water in the medicine bottle before it enters the drying device 1, which greatly reduces the burden of subsequent drying; together with the efficient drying device 1, it significantly shortens the overall drying time, greatly improves production efficiency, and meets the rhythm requirements of large-scale industrial production.

[0043] The heating device 14, the hot air guide frame 17, and the hot air circulation system constructed by the motor 15 and the fan blades 16 ensure that the temperature field distribution inside the drying chamber 12 is uniform, so that all parts of the medicine bottle can be heated evenly. This effectively avoids quality problems caused by local overheating or insufficient drying, and ensures that the quality of the dried medicine bottles is stable and consistent, providing a reliable guarantee for the quality of medicines.

[0044] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the cleaned liquid medicine bottle is placed on the conveyor belt 21. The auxiliary conveyor frames 22 on both sides of the conveyor belt are set in sections to limit and support the position, ensuring that the medicine bottle maintains a stable position during the conveying process and smoothly enters the drying chamber 12.

[0045] When the medicine bottle is transported to the position of the flipping device 3, the telescopic cylinder 32 on the mounting frame 31 is activated, and its end pulls the push block 35. The push block 35 is connected to the slide block 34. Under the guidance of the slide rail 33 at the upper end of the mounting frame 31, the slide block 34 can slide smoothly, thereby driving the motor mounting base 36, the rotary motor 37 and the pneumatic gripper 38 fixed on the slide block to approach the medicine bottle. When the pneumatic gripper 38 reaches the appropriate position, it starts the gripping action to firmly clamp the medicine bottle. Then, the rotary motor 37 starts to work, driving the pneumatic gripper 38 and the gripped medicine bottle to flip.

[0046] During the flipping process, the residual water in the medicine bottle flows out under the action of gravity, achieving efficient drainage. After the drainage operation is completed, the rotary motor 37 reverses to reset the medicine bottle, the pneumatic gripper 38 releases, and the medicine bottle continues to be conveyed to the drying device 1 by the conveyor belt.

[0047] After the medicine bottle enters the drying chamber 12, the heating device 14 at the top of the drying chamber starts to work and generates heat. At the same time, the motor 15 drives the fan blades 16 installed at the bottom to rotate at high speed, causing the hot air to form a circulating airflow in the hot air guide frame 17. These hot airflows are evenly distributed inside the drying chamber 12 and come into full contact with the medicine bottle. The residual moisture on the surface and inside of the medicine bottle is removed by heat transfer, thus realizing the drying process. The soft curtain doors 13 set at both ends of the drying chamber 12 can effectively reduce the loss of hot air inside the drying chamber 12 while ensuring that the medicine bottle can enter and exit smoothly, maintain the relative stability of the internal temperature, and improve the drying efficiency.

[0048] The flipping device 3 can pre-drain most of the residual water in the medicine bottle before it enters the drying device 1, greatly reducing the burden of subsequent drying; together with the efficient drying device 1, it significantly shortens the overall drying time, greatly improves production efficiency, and meets the rhythm requirements of large-scale industrial production.

[0049] The flipping device 3 pushes the push block 35 through the telescopic cylinder 32, which drives the slide 34 and pneumatic gripper 38 to move toward the liquid medicine bottle. The rotary motor 37 drives the pneumatic gripper 38 to quickly flip the medicine bottle, allowing the residual water in the bottle to flow out rapidly under the action of gravity and flipping force. Compared with natural drainage, the time is greatly shortened, and the drainage efficiency can be increased several times. All components of the flipping device 3 work together, and the whole process does not require manual intervention, realizing automated operation and seamlessly connecting with the overall automated process of the equipment.

[0050] The heating device 14, the hot air guide frame 17, and the hot air circulation system constructed by the motor 15 and the fan blades 16 ensure that the temperature field distribution inside the drying chamber 12 is uniform, so that all parts of the medicine bottle can be heated evenly. This effectively avoids quality problems caused by local overheating or insufficient drying, and ensures that the quality of the dried medicine bottles is stable and consistent, providing a reliable guarantee for the quality of medicines.
