Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ampoule conveying technology, specifically to a modular single-ampoule conveying device for medicine bottles. Background Technology

[0002] In existing glass ampoule conveying systems, after filling and sealing, the filling machine typically transports the ampoules onto a wide stainless steel mesh chain for further transport.

[0003] Traditional mesh belt conveyor systems operate in a fixed configuration, causing numerous inconveniences for personnel passage. During pharmaceutical production, workers frequently need to operate along both sides of the conveyor line, performing tasks such as aseptic testing, equipment maintenance, and material replenishment. However, because the mesh belt is a fixed structure with insufficient clearance for passage, workers often have to bend over and crawl underneath it. This not only increases the workload for workers but also easily leads to fatigue and discomfort, impacting work efficiency.

[0004] Furthermore, stainless steel conveyor belts are woven from numerous tiny metal wires, resulting in a surface with many gaps and holes. During ampoule transport, spillage and ampoule breakage are inevitable, leaving behind residues of medication, glass shards, and other impurities in the belt's gaps. These residues are not only difficult to remove completely using conventional cleaning methods, but also easily breed bacteria and microorganisms, contaminating the pharmaceutical production environment and ultimately affecting the quality and safety of the drugs. In addition, the complex conveyor belt structure increases the time and labor costs required for cleaning, reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a modular single-ampoule conveying device for medicine bottles, which solves the technical problems in the prior art where stainless steel mesh chains are used to convey ampoules between the filling machine and the receiving conveyor line, resulting in poor flexibility in requisition, inconvenience for staff passage, and difficulty in cleaning and maintenance.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a modular single-bottle medicine bottle conveying device with the following technical solution:

[0007] The system includes a conveying structure located between a filling machine and a receiving conveyor line. The conveying structure includes a first clamping conveyor line, a second clamping conveyor line, and a fixed non-powered conveyor line and a swinging non-powered conveyor line located between the first clamping conveyor line and the second clamping conveyor line.

[0008] One end of the fixed unpowered conveyor line is fixedly connected to the first clamping conveyor line, and the other end is detachably connected to one end of the swinging unpowered conveyor line. The end of the swinging unpowered conveyor line away from the fixed unpowered conveyor line is hinged to one end of the second clamping conveyor line. After the swinging unpowered conveyor line is separated from the fixed unpowered conveyor line, the swinging unpowered conveyor line swings left and right to create a gap between the fixed unpowered conveyor line and the swinging unpowered conveyor line.

[0009] Furthermore, a detachable fixing block is provided at the bottom of one end of the fixed unpowered conveyor line and the oscillating unpowered conveyor line, and one end of the fixing block extends out of the fixed unpowered conveyor line and is detachably connected to the bottom of the oscillating unpowered conveyor line.

[0010] Furthermore, a notch is provided below the end of the oscillating unpowered conveyor line that is close to the fixed block.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end face of the fixed block is provided with a slot corresponding to the lower end of the swing-type unpowered conveyor line.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper end face of the oscillating unpowered conveyor line is provided with a detachable first carrier plate, and the upper end face of the fixed unpowered conveyor line is provided with a detachable second carrier plate.

[0013] The first carrier plate and the second carrier plate are adjacent to each other at one end in an arc shape, and the second carrier plate is adjacent to the first carrier plate at one end in a concave arc shape that corresponds to the arc shape.

[0014] Furthermore, a gap is left between the oscillating unpowered conveyor line and the fixed unpowered conveyor line, and the end of the fixed unpowered conveyor line adjacent to the oscillating unpowered conveyor line is provided with a stepped surface for supporting the end of the first carrier plate.

[0015] Furthermore, both the first clamping conveyor line and the second clamping conveyor line include a left clamping block and a right clamping block, the left clamping block and the right clamping block form a conveying channel, and the left clamping block and the right clamping block are provided with conveyor belts driven by pulleys on opposite sides.

[0016] Furthermore, an L-shaped transition conveyor section is provided between the first clamping conveyor line and the outlet of the filling machine.

[0017] The advantages of the modular single-bottle medicine bottle delivery device provided by this utility model are:

[0018] In this invention, the oscillating unpowered conveyor line can be separated from the fixed unpowered conveyor line and oscillate to achieve docking and open states. During normal conveying, the docking forms a continuous conveyor line; when not conveying and performing operations such as aseptic testing, the oscillation opens to create intervals, facilitating the movement of personnel between the two sides of the equipment and avoiding inconvenient operations such as bending over and crawling through, thus improving the adaptability of the device to different working scenarios.

[0019] In this invention, the swing operation of the swing-type unpowered conveyor is convenient, flexible, and stable, effectively avoiding equipment failures caused by jamming and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0020] In this invention, both the first and second carrier plates can be easily disassembled, facilitating thorough cleaning and rinsing of the carrier plates that serve as the conveying surface. This allows for more effective removal of debris generated when ampoules break, ensuring the hygiene of the conveying device and meeting the high standards required for pharmaceutical production.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0032] The number of any elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not as a limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0033] The principles and spirit of this utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0034] An embodiment of a modular single-bottle medicine bottle conveying device provided by this utility model:

[0035] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown,

[0036] It includes a conveying structure located between the filling machine and the receiving conveyor line. The conveying structure includes a first clamping conveyor line 1, a second clamping conveyor line 2, and a fixed non-powered conveyor line 3 and an oscillating non-powered conveyor line 4 located between the first clamping conveyor line 1 and the second clamping conveyor line 2.

[0037] One end of the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 is fixedly connected to the first clamping conveyor line 1, and the other end is detachably connected to one end of the swinging unpowered conveyor line 4. The end of the swinging unpowered conveyor line 4 away from the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 is hinged to one end of the second clamping conveyor line 2. After the swinging unpowered conveyor line 4 and the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 are separated, the swinging unpowered conveyor line 4 swings left and right to create a gap between the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 and the swinging unpowered conveyor line 4.

[0038] The oscillating action of the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 enables docking and opening with the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3. When the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 and the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 are docked, a continuous and stable conveyor line is formed. When the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 and the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 are separated and the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 swings to one side, a gap is formed between the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 and the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3. This facilitates the movement of workers between the equipment distributed on both sides of the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 and the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3, avoiding inconvenience for workers performing tasks such as aseptic testing.

[0039] In this embodiment, a detachable fixing block 31 is provided at the bottom of one end of the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 and the swing unpowered conveyor line 4. One end of the fixing block 31 extends out of the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 and is detachably connected to the bottom of the swing unpowered conveyor line 4.

[0040] The bottom end of the fixing block 31 is provided with a slotted hole for connecting to the bottom surface of the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3, improving the flexibility of the fixing block 31 during installation. The fixing block 31 is detachably connected to the bottom of the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 by bolts.

[0041] Among them, the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 has a notch 41 below the end near the fixed block 31.

[0042] Furthermore, the upper end face of the fixing block 31 is provided with a slot 311 corresponding to the lower end of the swing unpowered conveyor line 4.

[0043] The notch 41 on the bottom surface of the end of the oscillating unpowered conveyor 4 and the groove 311 on the upper surface of the fixed block 31 can reduce the contact area between the oscillating unpowered conveyor 4 and the fixed block 31, and reduce the friction between the oscillating unpowered conveyor 4 and the fixed block 31 when the oscillating unpowered conveyor 4 oscillates, thereby making the oscillation of the oscillating unpowered conveyor 4 more flexible and stable, and avoiding equipment failures caused by jamming.

[0044] In this embodiment, the upper end face of the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 is provided with a detachable first carrier plate 42, and the upper end face of the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 is provided with a detachable second carrier plate 32.

[0045] Both the first carrier plate 42 and the second carrier plate 32 can be easily disassembled, making it convenient to clean and tidy up the first carrier plate 42 and the second carrier plate 32, which serve as the conveying surface, and making it easier to clean up the debris generated when the ampoule breaks.

[0046] In this embodiment, the end of the first carrier plate 42 that is close to the second carrier plate 32 is arc-shaped, and the end of the second carrier plate 32 that is close to the first carrier plate 42 is a concave arc shape that is spliced ​​with the arc shape.

[0047] The design of the arc shape combined with the concave arc shape conforms to the motion trajectory of the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 during oscillation, avoiding interference between the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 and the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 during oscillation.

[0048] There is a gap between the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 and the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3. The fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 and the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 are provided with a stepped surface 33 for supporting the end of the first carrier plate 42.

[0049] The gap between the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 and the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 can prevent jamming when the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4 oscillates. The first carrier plate 42 and the second carrier plate 32 are seamlessly connected to ensure the smooth transport of ampoules. The step surface 33 supports the end of the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4, which improves the stability of the connection between the first carrier plate 42 and the second carrier plate 32.

[0050] It should be noted that both sides of the first carrier plate 42 and the second carrier plate 32 are provided with limiting baffles, as shown in the figure. The limiting baffles maintain the stability of the conveyed ampoules.

[0051] In this embodiment, both the first clamping conveyor line 1 and the second clamping conveyor line 2 include a left clamping block 11 and a right clamping block 12. The left clamping block 11 and the right clamping block 12 form a conveying channel, and conveyor belts driven by pulleys are provided on opposite sides of the left clamping block 11 and the right clamping block 12. The ampoules are moved by the clamping action of the conveyor belts on both sides.

[0052] An L-shaped transition conveyor section 5 is provided between the first clamping conveyor line 1 and the outlet of the filling machine.

[0053] In this embodiment, the modular single-ampoule conveying device delivers ampoules from the filling machine in a row. These ampoules are then conveyed through an L-shaped transition conveyor section 5 and onto the first clamping conveyor line 1. The first clamping conveyor line 1 provides power to move the row of ampoules. Through the pushing action of the row of ampoules, they move along the fixed unpowered conveyor line 3 and the oscillating unpowered conveyor line 4, and then onto the second clamping conveyor line 2. From there, they are powered and conveyed onto the receiving tray conveyor line.

[0054] In the absence of conveying, during aseptic testing and other operations, staff need to pass through the fixed non-powered conveyor line 3 and the swinging non-powered conveyor line 4 to the other side for operation. At this time, the bolts between the swinging non-powered conveyor line 4 and the fixed block 31 are removed, and the swinging non-powered conveyor line 4 is pushed to swing to one side, so that staff can pass directly and avoid the operation of staff bending over and crawling under.

[0055] Meanwhile, the fixed non-powered conveyor line 3 and the oscillating non-powered conveyor line 4 are arranged between the first clamping conveyor line 1 and the second clamping conveyor line 2 to avoid the use of an integral conveying method, making it convenient, stable and easy to clean and maintain.

[0056] Based on the above description in this specification, those skilled in the art will also understand that the following terms used, such as "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "width," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," are terms indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings of this specification. They are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not explicitly or implicitly suggest that the device or element involved must have the specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above-mentioned orientation or positional relationship terms should not be understood or interpreted as limitations on the present invention.
