Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pharmaceutical packaging equipment technology, and in particular relates to a medicine bottle sorting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A bottle unscrambler is a machine that disperses and arranges haphazardly stacked plastic bottles onto a conveyor belt, ensuring they stand upright in a neat and orderly fashion to meet the requirements of high automation. Its function is to organize randomly piled beverage bottles, arranging them in a structured and directional manner on the conveyor belt for high-speed and efficient transport to other machines for the next process (such as filling, labeling, and packing), thereby improving the overall production line efficiency. In pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, a large number of medicine bottles also require unscrambling and sorting.

[0003] A published patent discloses a bottle unscrambler for pharmaceutical production, comprising a machine body with a transmission component and a combing component mounted on the top. The machine body consists of a shell, moving wheels, and a control key. The moving wheels are mounted on the bottom of the machine body, and the control key is located on one side of the machine body. An internal transmission component is installed, consisting of a motor A, a planetary reducer, a motor B, a conveyor roller, a transfer pulley, a transmission gear, a driven gear, and a gear shaft. Compared to existing bottle unscramblers for pharmaceutical production, this method, by using the transmission component to drive the combing component to comb the glass bottles, significantly reduces labor costs. It also provides better protection for the bottles during combing and transportation, improving bottle integrity. Furthermore, it can be integrated with other production equipment to form a production line, greatly increasing production efficiency. However, the combed bottles are not arranged neatly enough, which is detrimental to subsequent processing steps, requiring manual adjustment of the bottle positions and reducing the production line's efficiency. Utility Model Content
