Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capping device technology, and in particular to a vaccine vial capping device. Background Technology

[0002] A capping machine is a device used for sealing bottle caps. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and beverage industries. Its working principle is to apply pressure to the cap through mechanical parts, so that it is tightly fixed to the bottle mouth to achieve a seal. In the production of vaccine bottles, a capping machine is used to press the aluminum cap tightly to the bottle mouth to fix the rubber stopper of the vaccine bottle.

[0003] In existing technologies, when using a capping machine, workers need to place the vaccine vials with aluminum caps on them in a suitable position on the capping machine, and then use the capping machine to cap the vials. After completion, the vials are removed, and the above process is repeated to cap the next vial.

[0004] The above-mentioned and existing technologies have the following drawbacks: During the process of capping vaccine vials, after the staff places the vaccine vials, they need to spend a lot of time waiting for the capping machine to complete the capping operation. During this process, the staff's working time is wasted, thereby reducing the working efficiency of the capping machine.

[0005] Therefore, a vaccine vial capping device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the drawback of requiring workers to spend a considerable amount of time waiting for the capping machine to complete the capping operation after placing the vaccine vials, and to propose a vaccine vial capping device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a vaccine vial capping device, comprising a workbench and several vaccine vial bodies. A bracket is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the workbench, a circular frame is fixedly mounted on the surface of the bracket, a fixing plate is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the circular frame, several capping plates are rotatably connected to the surface of the fixing plate, and an elastic ring is commonly fitted on the surface of the several capping plates. A first electric push rod is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the circular frame, a transmission plate that abuts against the surface of the capping plate is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first electric push rod, a stepper motor is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the workbench, a turntable is fixedly mounted on the output end of the stepper motor, several second electric push rods are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the turntable, a connecting plate is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second electric push rod, a sliding rod slides through the turntable, a support frame is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the sliding rod, and the lower end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

[0008] The aforementioned components achieve the following effect: by setting up multiple second electric push rods, slide rods, and support frames, while the vaccine vial body is being capped, the operator can continue to arrange the vaccine vial body in other support frames or remove the completed vaccine vial body, thereby improving the operator's time utilization efficiency and thus improving the efficiency and practicality of the capping machine.

[0009] Preferably, a threaded tube is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the turntable, a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded tube, and a positioning plate is fixedly assembled at the lower end of the threaded rod.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that the positioning plate can limit the movement distance of the connecting plate, thereby limiting the stroke of the second electric push rod and preventing the vaccine bottle body from being further squeezed and damaged after it comes into contact with the surface of the fixing plate.

[0011] Preferably, a swivel ring is fixedly fitted on the circumferential surface of the threaded rod, and the circumferential surface of the swivel ring is provided with an anti-slip groove.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the rotating ring is rotated, the rotating ring will drive the threaded rod to rotate.

[0013] Preferably, a buffer block is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate relative to the positioning plate.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that after the buffer block abuts against the surface of the positioning plate, the buffer block can reduce the collision force between the connecting plate and the positioning plate.

[0015] Preferably, an elastic pad is fixedly fitted to the inner wall of the support frame, and the vaccine vial body is slidably connected to the elastic pad.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that the elastic pad can increase the friction between the support frame and the vaccine vial body, thereby improving the stability of the support for the vaccine vial body.

[0017] Preferably, a support rod is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the turntable, and a ball bearing is rotatably connected to the lower end of the support rod, with the ball bearing abutting against the upper surface of the worktable.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that during the rotation of the turntable, the support rod will drive the ball to roll along the upper surface of the worktable. The support rod and the ball work together to support the turntable and ensure its stability.

[0019] Preferably, a protective cover is slidably fitted onto the surface of the turntable, and an insert rod is fixedly fitted onto the inner wall of the protective cover, the insert rod slidingly penetrating the turntable.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is that the protective cover can shield the support rod, preventing injury or foreign objects from affecting the normal rolling of the balls when the support rod moves.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] In this invention, by setting multiple second electric push rods, slide rods, and support frames, the workers can continue to arrange the vaccine vials in other support frames or remove the finished vaccine vials while the vials are being capped, thereby improving the workers' time utilization efficiency and thus improving the efficiency and practicality of the capping machine.

[0029] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0030] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0031] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a vaccine vial capping device, including a workbench 1 and several vaccine vial bodies 9. A support 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the workbench 1, a circular frame 3 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the support 2, a fixing plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the circular frame 3, several capping plates 5 are rotatably connected to the surface of the fixing plate 4, and an elastic ring 6 is commonly fitted on the surface of the several capping plates 5. A first electric push rod 7 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the circular frame 3, and a transmission plate 8 that abuts against the surface of the capping plate 5 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first electric push rod 7. A stepper motor 10 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the workbench 1, and a turntable 11 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the stepper motor 10. Several second electric push rods 14 are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the turntable 11. A connecting plate 15 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second electric push rod 14. A slide rod 12 slides through the turntable 11. A support frame 13 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the slide rod 12. The lower end of the slide rod 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 15. By setting multiple second electric push rods 14, slide rods 12 and support frames 13, when the vaccine bottle body 9 is being capped, the operator can continue to arrange the vaccine bottle body 9 in other support frames 13 or remove the completed vaccine bottle body 9, thereby improving the efficiency of the operator's time utilization and thus improving the efficiency and practicality of the capping machine.

[0032] A threaded tube 16 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the turntable 11. A threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded tube 16. A positioning plate 18 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the threaded rod 17. The positioning plate 18 can limit the movement distance of the connecting plate 15, thereby limiting the stroke of the second electric push rod 14 and preventing the vaccine bottle body 9 from being further squeezed and damaged after hitting the surface of the fixed plate 4. A rotating ring 19 is fixedly sleeved on the circumferential surface of the threaded rod 17. The circumferential surface of the rotating ring 19 is provided with anti-slip grooves. When the rotating ring 19 is rotated, the rotating ring 19 will drive the threaded rod 17 to rotate. A buffer block 20 is fixedly mounted on the position of the connecting plate 15 relative to the positioning plate 18. After the buffer block 20 hits the surface of the positioning plate 18, the buffer block 20 can reduce the collision force between the connecting plate 15 and the positioning plate 18. An elastic pad 21 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the support frame 13. The elastic pad 21 is slidably connected, which increases the friction between the support frame 13 and the vaccine bottle body 9, thereby improving the stability of the support for the vaccine bottle body 9. The lower surface of the turntable 11 is fixedly equipped with a support rod 22, and the lower end of the support rod 22 is rotatably connected with a ball bearing 23. The ball bearing 23 abuts against the upper surface of the worktable 1. During the rotation of the turntable 11, the support rod 22 will drive the ball bearing 23 to roll along the upper surface of the worktable 1. The support rod 22 and the ball bearing 23 cooperate to support the turntable 11 and ensure the stability of the turntable 11. The surface of the turntable 11 is slidably fitted with a protective cover 24, and the inner wall of the protective cover 24 is fixedly equipped with an insert rod 25. The insert rod 25 slides through the turntable 11. The protective cover 24 can shield the support rod 22 to prevent the support rod 22 from injuring people or causing foreign objects to affect the normal rolling of the ball bearing 23 when it moves.

[0033] The overall working principle is as follows: When it is necessary to cap the vaccine vial body 9, the vaccine vial body 9 is placed inside the support frame 13. At this time, the vaccine vial body 9 will contact the elastic pad 21. The elastic pad 21 will deform after being squeezed, which increases the friction between the support frame 13 and the vaccine vial body 9, thereby improving the stability of the support for the vaccine vial body 9. Then, the stepper motor 10 is turned on, and the output end of the stepper motor 10 will drive the turntable 11 to rotate. The turntable 11 will drive the slide rod 12 to move, and the slide rod 12 will drive the support frame 13 to move. The support frame 13 will drive the vaccine vial body 9 to move synchronously. When the vaccine vial body 9 moves below the capping plate 5, the stepper motor 10 is paused and the output end of the second electric push rod 14 is controlled to retract. Rod 14 moves connecting plate 15 upward, and sliding rod 12, following connecting plate 15, moves support frame 13 upward, ultimately causing vaccine vial body 9 to abut against the lower surface of fixing plate 4. At this time, connecting plate 15 causes buffer block 20 to abut against the surface of positioning plate 18. Buffer block 20 reduces the collision force between connecting plate 15 and positioning plate 18, and positioning plate 18 limits the movement distance of connecting plate 15, thereby limiting the stroke of second electric push rod 14 and preventing vaccine vial body 9 from being further squeezed and damaged after abutting against the surface of fixing plate 4. Then, the output end of first electric push rod 7 is controlled to retract, and transmission plate 8 moves upward to squeeze capping plate 5. The rotation of capping plate 5 squeezes the upper end of vaccine vial body 9, thereby completing the capping of vaccine vial body 9. During the operation, the elastic ring 6 is stretched. During this process, the operator can continue to arrange vaccine vial bodies 9 within other support frames 13 or remove completed vaccine vial bodies 9, thereby improving the operator's time utilization efficiency and thus improving the efficiency and practicality of the capping machine. After processing, the output end of the first electric push rod 7 is extended, at which point the elastic ring 6 contracts, and the capping plate 5 rotates with the elastic force of the elastic ring 6, disengaging from the vaccine vial body 9. Then, the output end of the second electric push rod 14 is extended, and the support frame 13 moves the vaccine vial body 9 downwards. Then, the stepper motor 10 is activated again to move the next vaccine vial body 9 below the capping plate 5 for processing. During the rotation of the turntable 11, the support rod 22 drives the ball bearings 2... 3. Rolling along the upper surface of the worktable 1, the support rod 22 and the ball bearing 23 cooperate to support the turntable 11, ensuring the stability of the turntable 11. At the same time, the protective cover 24 can shield the support rod 22 to prevent injury or foreign objects from affecting the normal rolling of the ball bearing 23 when the support rod 22 moves. When it is necessary to adjust the stroke of the second electric push rod 14 according to the size of the vaccine bottle body 9, the rotating ring 19 is rotated. The rotating ring 19 will drive the threaded rod 17 to rotate. The threaded rod 17 will move along the inner wall of the threaded tube 16 by means of the thread. The movement of the threaded rod 17 will drive the positioning plate 18 to move. When the positioning plate 18 moves upward, it can extend the stroke of the second electric push rod 14, thereby facilitating the processing of the larger vaccine bottle body 9. When the positioning plate 18 moves downward,This shortens the stroke of the second electric actuator 14, thus facilitating the processing of the smaller vaccine vial body 9.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
