[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical packaging technology, specifically to an automatic bottle-holding device for pharmaceutical packaging. Background Technology
[0002] Early pharmaceutical packaging primarily consisted of simple glass bottles, mainly meeting basic storage needs, but with limited sealing and stability. With advancements in materials science, plastic bottles gradually emerged, gaining widespread use due to their advantages such as lightness, low cost, and high plasticity. Meanwhile, improvements in bottle opening design and the addition of desiccants enhanced their moisture-proof and light-protection properties. Modern pharmaceutical bottle packaging places greater emphasis on safety, employing technologies such as child-safe caps and anti-counterfeiting labels. Furthermore, environmental protection principles have driven the development of biodegradable materials to meet the comprehensive needs of long-term pharmaceutical preservation, convenient use, and green development.
[0003] In existing technologies, conveyor belts are typically used to transport medicine packaging bottles. However, during the transport process, the bottles may not be arranged uniformly on the conveyor belt, making it inconvenient to accurately fill the small openings of the bottles with materials. Furthermore, when receiving materials, the bottles are prone to tipping over due to instability. To address these issues, an automatic bottle-holding device for medicine packaging is proposed.

[0006] The bottle-supporting device includes two feeding platforms on both sides. Support blocks are fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the two feeding platforms. Each support block is arc-shaped on the side near the middle of the feeding platform, and a guide groove is opened in the middle of the support block. The upper end of the guide groove extends to the top surface of the support block, and the middle of the guide groove is arc-shaped. A cleaning groove is opened at the end of the support block near the middle of the guide groove. The lower end of the cleaning groove extends to the bottom surface of the support block. Brushes are glued and fixed to both sides of the inner wall of the cleaning groove.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom surface of the support block and both sides of the cleaning tank are fixedly connected to shelves, the top surfaces of the two shelves jointly support a collection box, and one side of the collection box extends to the outside of the shelf and is fixedly connected to a handle.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: support legs are fixedly installed on both sides of the middle part of the bottom surface of the feeding platform, servo motors are fixedly installed on both sides of the front end of the bottom surface of the feeding platform, the output shaft of the servo motor passes through the feeding platform and is fixedly connected to a drive wheel, and transmission wheels are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top surface of the feeding platform and the surface away from each drive wheel, and the distance between adjacent drive wheels is greater than the distance between adjacent transmission wheels.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a side conveyor belt is externally connected to the drive wheel, the other end of the side conveyor belt is connected to the transmission wheel, the middle part of the side conveyor belt passes through the inside of the guide groove and the cleaning groove, and the inner surface of the side conveyor belt abuts against one side of the arc surface of the support block, and both sides of the surface of the side conveyor belt are in active contact with the brush.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the material guiding mechanism includes a feeding hopper, a feeding pipe is fixedly and continuously connected to the center of the bottom surface of the feeding hopper, and support plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the center of the feeding hopper, and bolts are continuously connected to the surface of each support plate.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: each of the support plates is slidably connected to a clamping frame on its outer side, and a threaded sleeve is embedded and fixed on the bottom surface of the clamping frame.

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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figure 1-4As shown, an automatic bottle-holding device for pharmaceutical packaging includes a bottle-holding device 1, with a material guiding mechanism 2 disposed above the bottle-holding device 1. The bottle-holding device 1 includes two side feeding platforms 101, with support blocks 107 fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the two side feeding platforms 101. Each support block 107 is arc-shaped on the side near the middle of the feeding platform 101, and a guide groove 108 is formed in the middle of the support block 107. The upper end of the guide groove 108 extends to the top surface of the support block 107, and the middle of the guide groove 108 is provided with... The support block 107 is arc-shaped, with a cleaning groove 109 at one end near the center of the guide groove 108. The lower end of the cleaning groove 109 extends to the bottom surface of the support block 107. Brushes 110 are glued and fixed to both sides of the inner wall of the cleaning groove 109. Shelves 111 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support block 107 and to both sides of the cleaning groove 109. The top surfaces of the two shelves 111 jointly support a collection box 112. One side of the collection box 112 extends to the outside of the shelf 111 and is fixedly connected to a handle 113. Figure 2 As shown, the collection box 112 can be pulled out of the shelf 111 by the handle 113.
[0024] Support legs 102 are fixedly installed on both sides of the center of the bottom surface of the feeding platform 101. Servo motors 103 are fixedly installed on both sides of the front end of the bottom surface of the feeding platform 101. The output shafts of the servo motors 103 pass through the feeding platform 101 and are fixedly connected to drive wheels 104. Transmission wheels 105 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top surface of the feeding platform 101 and the surface away from each drive wheel 104. The distance between adjacent drive wheels 104 is greater than the distance between adjacent transmission wheels 105. Figure 1 As shown, the servo motor 103 can be an HG-KR model servo motor, the drive wheel 104 and the transmission wheel 105 can be synchronous toothed wheels, and the conveyor belt 106 can be a synchronous toothed belt that meshes with it, thereby ensuring stable transmission.
[0025] A side conveyor belt 106 is externally connected to the drive wheel 104. The other end of the side conveyor belt 106 is connected to the drive wheel 105. The middle section of the side conveyor belt 106 passes through the guide groove 108 and the cleaning groove 109, and the inner surface of the side conveyor belt 106 abuts against one side of the arc surface of the support block 107. Both sides of the surface of the side conveyor belt 106 are in active contact with the brush 110. Figure 1 As shown, the drive wheel 104 and the transmission wheel 105 together tension the side conveyor belt 106, and the spacing between the two side conveyor belts 106 is consistent with the diameter of the medicine packaging bottle. The outer surface of the side conveyor belt 106 is smooth, thereby reducing the frictional resistance encountered by the medicine packaging bottle when it moves.
[0026] The material guiding mechanism 2 includes a feeding hopper 201. A feeding pipe 202 is fixedly and continuously connected to the center of the bottom surface of the feeding hopper 201. Support plates 203 are fixedly connected to both sides of the center of the feeding hopper 201. Bolts 204 are connected through the surface of each support plate 203. A clamping frame 205 is slidably connected to the outer side of each support plate 203. A threaded sleeve 206 is embedded and fixed to the bottom surface of the clamping frame 205. The clamping frame 205 is connected through the bolts 204, and the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 206 is threaded with the bolt 204. An extension rod 207 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the frame 205. Extension rods 208 are fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 205 and the extension rod 207. A lead screw 209 is threaded through the inner wall of the extension rod 207. Nuts 210 are threaded onto the outer wall of the lead screw 209 at the upper and lower ends of the extension rod 207. Guide posts 211 are slidably connected through the inner wall of the extension rods 208. The bottoms of the nuts 210 and guide posts 211 are fixedly installed to the top surface of the feeding platform 101. Figure 3 As shown, by turning the nut 210 below the extension rod 207, the nut 210 can fall down along the screw 209, and then the extension rod 207 drives the clamping frame 205 to slide down. By adjusting the position of the clamping frames 205 on both sides, the overall height of the feed hopper 201 and the feeding pipe 202 can be adjusted, which is convenient for feeding medicine packaging bottles of different heights.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model:
[0028] When the device is in use, the conveyor belt responsible for transporting the medicine packaging bottles passes through the feeding platform 101. The discharge port of the external unloading device is set above the feed hopper 201. The conveyor belt can drive the medicine packaging bottles from the direction near the drive wheel 104 to the direction near the transmission wheel 105. During this period, the medicine packaging bottles pass through the inner side of the two side conveyor belts 106, and the spacing of the side conveyor belts 106 gradually decreases. As the medicine packaging bottles follow the lower conveyor belt, they are gradually pushed to the center and aligned with the lower end of the feeding pipe 202. After the medicine packaging bottles move to the feeding pipe 202, the feeding hopper 201 is fed with material by the upper unloading device. The material enters the medicine packaging bottles along the feeding pipe 202. During the feeding period, the medicine packaging bottles are limited by the two side conveyor belts 106, thereby preventing the medicine packaging bottles from tipping over due to shaking.
[0029] Secondly, when it is necessary to clean the side conveyor belt 106, the servo motor 103 can be started to drive the drive wheel 104 to rotate, and the side conveyor belt 106 will rotate. After the side conveyor belt 106 moves to the inside of the cleaning tank 109, it will be scraped by the brush 110, causing the debris attached to the surface to be peeled off. The fallen debris falls into the collection box 112 for easy collection.
