Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated production lines, and in particular to a flipping device for secondary tube production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production line for single-use tubes (small containers), the processes of inkjet printing, filling and sealing, and labeling are performed sequentially. The inkjet printing process involves laser printing information such as the production batch number and expiration date onto the outer surface of the tube. The filling and sealing process completes the liquid filling and seals the tube opening. When the tube is transferred to the labeling machine, the label is affixed to it. Because the tube's posture does not change during this process, the label is directly affixed to the same inkjet printing area on the outer surface, which presents the following problems:

[0003] Label not sticking: The label is covering the embossed texture of the inkjet printing, resulting in uneven contact of the adhesive surface, which makes it easy to peel off.

[0004] The inkjet printing information is not easily visible: the label obscures the inkjet printing information, and users need to view it from the other side, making it impossible to quickly see the batch number or expiration date;

[0005] Quality inspection difficulties: The production line requires an additional station to randomly inspect the inkjet printing quality, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides a flipping device for secondary tube production, which can at least solve one of the problems pointed out in the background art.

[0007] A reversing device for secondary tube production includes at least: a guiding structure having a guide groove; and

[0008] The flipping structure has a downwardly extending flipping channel, the inlet of which is connected to the outlet of the guide groove. The inlet of the flipping channel is a variable diameter structure so that the secondary throwing tube entering the flipping channel can complete the flipping.

[0009] The guide structure has an angle with the horizontal plane, which is 15°-30°.

[0010] The width of the outlet of the guide channel is narrower than the width of the inlet.

[0011] The flipping channel is an arc-shaped channel.

[0012] The inner wall of the flipping channel is provided with a silicone layer.

[0013] The length of the flipping channel is not less than the length of the secondary throwing tube.

[0014] The narrowest point of the inlet of the flipping channel is smaller than the width of the secondary throwing tube.

[0015] The guiding structure and the flipping structure are an integral part of each other.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the guiding structure and flipping structure of this utility model can complete the flipping of the secondary tube. After flipping, the labeling will not cover the inkjet part, thereby reducing the label fall-off rate and ensuring the visibility of the inkjet. Compared with the electric flipping table in the prior art, it saves energy consumption, occupies less space, is easier to embed into the gaps of existing production lines, and reduces the cost of production line transformation.

[0022] The following describes a specific embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a flipping device for secondary tube production, which includes at least a guide structure 1 and a flipping structure 2.

[0025] The guide structure 1 has a guide groove 3 that can transport the secondary throwing tube 5 into the flipping structure 2, and the flipping structure 2 has a downwardly extending flipping channel 4, the inlet of which is connected to the outlet of the guide groove 3, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the entrance of the flip channel 4 has a variable diameter structure, specifically, its width decreases as the depth increases. One end of the secondary throwing tube 5, which moves to the entrance of the flip channel 4, contacts the inner wall of the entrance of the flip channel 4 (which is an arc surface to facilitate flipping), while the other end is suspended. Under its own gravity, the suspended end falls downwards first, and then completes a 180° flip through the flip channel 4, so that the inkjet code that was originally on the upper side faces downwards, and the other side faces upwards. When the label is applied at this time, it will not cover the inkjet code, thereby reducing the label detachment rate and ensuring 100% readability of the inkjet code, without the need for an additional inkjet code quality inspection station.

[0026] In this embodiment, the flipping channel 4 is an arc-shaped channel, and its length (i.e., the length along the conveying direction of the secondary throwing tube 5) is not less than the length of the secondary throwing tube 5. The narrowest part of the entrance of the flipping channel 4 is less than the width of the secondary throwing tube 5.

[0027] The guide structure 1 and the flipping structure 2 can be an integrated structure, or they can be processed separately and then assembled.

[0028] This process consumes no electricity, saving energy compared to the existing technology that uses an electric tilting table. It also occupies less space, is easier to integrate into existing production line gaps, and reduces production line modification costs.

[0029] In some other embodiments, the inner wall of the flipping channel 4 is provided with a silicone layer, and its friction combined with the gravity of the secondary throwing tube 5 completes the 180-degree flipping. The flipping channel 4 can also be made directly from silicone parts.

[0030] In addition, connectors or support frames can be installed below the guide structure to facilitate connection or matching with existing production lines.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] like Figure 1 Based on Embodiment 1, the guide structure 1 of the flipping device for secondary tube production in this embodiment is inclined, and the width of the outlet of the guide groove 3 is narrower than the width of the inlet. After the manual or robotic arm places the secondary tube 5 into the inlet of the guide groove 3, the secondary tube 5 slides down the guide groove 3 and automatically adjusts to a vertical state (the vertical state is not a standing state) through the narrowing channel and enters the flipping channel 4. In this case, the flipping success rate can be improved.

[0033] The guide structure 1 has an angle with the horizontal plane, which is 15°-30°. In some other embodiments, the flipping structure 2 can also be inclined to facilitate the automatic discharge of the secondary throwing tube 5 after flipping.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0035] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
