Description

Technical Field

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a stopper feeding system for a filling production line includes a feeding platform and a feeding system. The feeding platform includes an outer bag removal platform 1 and an inner bag removal platform 2; an isolation door 3 is provided between the outer bag removal platform 1 and the inner bag removal platform 2. The feeding system includes a feeding hopper and a stopper feeding pot; the stopper feeding pot includes a vibrating feeding disc 51 and a disc vibration base 52; the vibrating feeding disc 51 includes a spiral channel and a material sensing sensor; the material sensing sensor is located at the spiral channel; the disc vibration base 52 includes a longitudinal vibration excitation source and a torsional vibration mechanism, wherein the torsional vibration mechanism is responsible for converting the vertical reciprocating vibration generated by the longitudinal vibration excitation source into a spiral torsional vibration around the center of the vibrating feeding disc 51.

[0020] In practical applications, the finished rubber stoppers used in the filling production line are packaged in double-layered inner and outer bags. The general workflow is as follows: The operator removes the outer bag of the rubber stopper from the outer bag removal platform 1 (located outside the production line), and then transfers the inner bag packaging to the inner bag removal platform 2 inside the isolation door 3 (inside the production line) to remove the inner bag and add the rubber stopper to the feeding hopper; the feeding hopper feeds the material evenly into the vibrating feeding plate 51; under the combined action of the spiral torsional vibration of the vibrating feeding plate 51 and gravity, the finished rubber stopper moves continuously upward along the spiral channel, and gradually reaches the required posture under the action of the baffles, notches or slopes on the spiral channel, and is orderly conveyed to the next process;

[0021] The isolation door 3 is equipped with an observation window 31, which facilitates the observation of the rubber stopper supply and the operation of the corresponding equipment at any time.

[0022] Optionally, an operating glove box can be installed on the isolation door 3. When removing the inner bag, the operator can use the gloves on the glove box to operate the rubber stopper inner bag packaging outside the production line to minimize production line contamination.

[0023] In practical applications, the feeding hopper is a vibrating feeding hopper, which consists of a hopper body 41 and an electromagnetic vibrating seat 42. The hopper body 41 is slightly tilted downwards, and the overall structure is simple. Under the action of vibration and gravity, the rubber stopper can avoid material sticking and can move downwards continuously, evenly and stably to achieve stable feeding. At the same time, the feeding flow rate can be adjusted by adjusting the amplitude of the electromagnetic vibrating seat 42 to adapt to the rhythm of the production line.

[0024] In practical applications, material sensing sensors are acoustic sensors, photoelectric sensors, or cameras used to detect whether materials are flowing normally at a certain location. The appropriate sensor type can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a stopper feeding system for a filling production line includes a feeding platform and a feeding system. The feeding platform includes an outer bag removal platform 1 and an inner bag removal platform 2; an isolation door 3 is provided between the outer bag removal platform 1 and the inner bag removal platform 2. The feeding system includes a feeding hopper and a stopper feeding pot; the stopper feeding pot includes a vibrating feeding disc 51 and a disc vibration base 52; the vibrating feeding disc 51 includes a spiral channel and a material sensing sensor; the material sensing sensor is located at the spiral channel; the disc vibration base 52 includes a longitudinal vibration excitation source and a torsional vibration mechanism, wherein the torsional vibration mechanism is responsible for converting the vertical reciprocating vibration generated by the longitudinal vibration excitation source into a spiral torsional vibration around the center of the vibrating feeding disc 51.

[0027] In practical applications, the finished rubber stoppers used in the filling production line are packaged in double-layered inner and outer bags. The general workflow is as follows: The operator removes the outer bag of the rubber stopper from the outer bag removal platform 1 (located outside the production line), and then transfers the inner bag packaging to the inner bag removal platform 2 inside the isolation door 3 (inside the production line) to remove the inner bag and add the rubber stopper to the feeding hopper; the feeding hopper feeds the material evenly into the vibrating feeding plate 51; under the combined action of the spiral torsional vibration of the vibrating feeding plate 51 and gravity, the finished rubber stopper moves continuously upward along the spiral channel, and gradually reaches the required posture under the action of the baffles, notches or slopes on the spiral channel, and is orderly conveyed to the next process;

[0028] The isolation door 3 is equipped with an observation window 31, which facilitates the observation of the rubber stopper supply and the operation of the corresponding equipment at any time.

[0029] Optionally, an operating glove box can be installed on the isolation door 3. When removing the inner bag, the operator can use the gloves on the glove box to operate the rubber stopper inner bag packaging outside the production line to minimize production line contamination.

[0030] In practical applications, the feeding hopper is a vibrating feeding hopper, which consists of a hopper body 41 and an electromagnetic vibrating seat 42. The hopper body 41 is slightly tilted downwards, and the overall structure is simple. Under the action of vibration and gravity, the rubber stopper can avoid material sticking and can move downwards continuously, evenly and stably to achieve stable feeding. At the same time, the feeding flow rate can be adjusted by adjusting the amplitude of the electromagnetic vibrating seat 42 to adapt to the rhythm of the production line.

[0031] Preferably, the material sensing sensors are set at the inlet, middle section and outlet of the spiral channel, respectively, to better automatically monitor the feeding status of the rubber plug in the vibrating feeder 51 and analyze and judge the operation status of the vibrating feeder 51.

[0032] For example, if the sensors at all three locations detect material movement normally, it means that the feeding hopper and the rubber stopper feeding pot are operating normally and there is no shortage of material. If the material sensor at the inlet detects no material, it means that there is a shortage of material in the feeding hopper. If the material detected at the inlet is normal, but there is no material at the middle section or outlet, it means that the vibrating feeding plate 51 is malfunctioning and needs to be stopped for adjustment.

[0033] In practical applications, material sensing sensors are acoustic sensors, photoelectric sensors, or cameras used to detect whether materials are flowing normally at a certain location. The appropriate sensor type can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0034] Advantages of this utility model:

[0035] An isolation door is installed between the outer bag removal platform and the inner bag removal platform to minimize contamination of the production line interior; the rubber stopper is stably fed to the rubber stopper feeding pot through a hopper at an adjustable rate to accommodate different production cycles; a material sensing sensor is installed in the rubber stopper feeding pot to monitor the material supply, whether material replenishment is needed, and whether the equipment is malfunctioning; the overall structure is simple and easy to maintain.
