A device for removing a nucleus

Abstract

This utility model discloses a nest removal device, including a nest box conveying track and a waste removal mechanism located on one side of the nest box conveying track. A nest board transfer mechanism is provided between the nest box conveying track and the waste removal mechanism. The waste removal mechanism includes a bottle-lifting component, a nest removal clamping component for clamping the lifted bottle row, a waste removal robot, a waste removal channel, a bottle-pushing component, and a waste removal gripping component for grabbing waste bottles. The waste removal gripping component and the bottle-pushing component are located on the waste removal robot. After containers with incorrect filling or incorrect capping are conveyed into place by the nest box conveying track, the nest board transfer mechanism transfers the nest board to the waste removal mechanism. The bottle-lifting component lifts the row of containers that need to be removed from the nest board. The waste removal robot grabs the waste bottles through the waste removal gripping component and removes them, transferring them to the waste removal channel for removal. Since the containers to be removed are all positioned inside the nest board, accurate removal can be ensured, avoiding the situation where incorrect removal occurs after the rear single-track conveying track becomes disordered due to overturned bottles.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to food and pharmaceutical packaging equipment, and more particularly to a detachment device. Background Technology

[0002] To improve production efficiency, and considering that some special types of containers (such as ready-to-use pre-filled syringes) cannot be directly transported due to their structural limitations, containers (commonly such as cartridges, vials, and pre-filled syringes) are usually inserted into a nesting board with multiple rows of insertion holes. The nesting board is then placed inside a nesting box, and batch transport of containers can be achieved by transferring the nesting board and the nesting box. Therefore, during the filling process, it is necessary to remove multiple containers placed on the nesting board, i.e., to perform a nest removal process, such as the nest removal equipment disclosed in patent document CN119975980A.

[0003] Existing bottling production lines remove containers from their containers after filling and capping processes. Containers marked as having insufficient filling volume or inadequate capping at the filling and capping machines are then rejected. However, during the transport of containers to the rejection station via a single conveyor track, bottle tipping is unavoidable, causing changes in the container arrangement. This leads to the equipment failing to automatically reject containers or making incorrect rejections. Manual rejection is labor-intensive and carries the risk of operational errors. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a simple structure, which helps to avoid rejection errors and has strong adaptability to remove nests.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A nest removal device includes a nest box conveying track and a waste removal mechanism disposed on one side of the nest box conveying track. A nest board transfer mechanism is provided between the nest box conveying track and the waste removal mechanism. The waste removal mechanism includes a bottle-topping component, a nest removal clamping component for clamping the lifted bottle row, a waste removal robot, a waste removal channel, a bottle-pushing component for pushing the bottle row, and a waste removal gripping component for grabbing waste bottles. The waste removal gripping component and the bottle-pushing component are disposed on the waste removal robot.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the waste rejection mechanism also includes a bottle conveying track, the de-nesting clamping component is a liftable structure, and the bottle inlet end of the bottle conveying track is connected to the de-nesting clamping component.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bottle conveying track is a retractable structure.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the bottle conveying track is arranged in parallel with the nest box conveying track.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the top bottle component includes a plurality of first top rods and a plurality of second top rods, with the plurality of first top rods and the plurality of second top rods arranged alternately.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a waste bottle collection component is provided at the end of the waste removal channel away from the top bottle component.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the nest box conveying track is provided with a nest board loading station, a nest board unloading station and a nest box unloading station in sequence along the conveying direction. The nest board transfer mechanism is located between the nest board loading station and the waste rejection mechanism. A nest board loading and unloading robot is provided on one side of the nest board transfer mechanism.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: one end of the nest box conveying track is connected to the nest box unloading station, and a box pushing mechanism is provided on one side of the nest box unloading track.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the nest box unloading track is arranged perpendicularly to the nest box conveying track.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a rotating box station is also provided upstream of the nest plate loading station.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: The nest removal device disclosed in this utility model, after containers marked as having substandard filling or capping at the filling machine and capping machine are transported to their positions via the nest box conveyor track, is transferred by the nest board transfer mechanism to the waste removal mechanism. The bottle-lifting component lifts the row of containers requiring waste removal from the nest board, and the waste removal robot grabs the waste bottles using the waste removal gripping component and transfers them to the waste removal channel for removal. Because the containers requiring waste removal are all positioned inside the nest board, accurate waste removal is ensured, avoiding errors in waste removal caused by disorder due to overturned bottles on the subsequent single-track conveyor. After the rejection process is completed, for vials, the top bottle component can lift each row of containers in sequence, the detachment clamping component can hold the bottle neck, and then the rejection robot can push the entire row of vials out of the detachment clamping component through the bottle pushing component to remove the vials from the nest. For cartridges and pre-filled syringes, the nest board transfer mechanism can transfer the nest board from the rejection mechanism back to the nest box, and the nest box conveying track can transport the rejected nest box to the subsequent work station. It can accommodate different types of containers and has strong adaptability.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Figures 1 to 7 An embodiment of the nest removal device of this utility model is shown. The nest removal device of this embodiment includes a nest box conveying track 1 and a waste removal mechanism 2 disposed on one side of the nest box conveying track 1. A nest board transfer mechanism 3 is provided between the nest box conveying track 1 and the waste removal mechanism 2. The waste removal mechanism 2 includes a bottle-topping component 21, a nest removal clamping component 26 for clamping the bottle row that is lifted, a waste removal robot 23, a waste removal channel 25, a bottle-pushing component 28 for pushing the bottle row, and a waste removal gripping component 22 for grabbing waste bottles. The waste removal gripping component 22 and the bottle-pushing component 28 are disposed on the waste removal robot 23.

[0030] In this embodiment of the de-nesting device, after containers marked as having incorrect filling or incorrect capping at the filling machine and capping machine are transported to their positions via the nest box conveyor track 1, the nest board transfer mechanism 3 transfers the nest board to the waste removal mechanism 2. The bottle-lifting component 21 lifts the row of containers to be removed from the nest board, and the waste removal robot 23 grabs the waste bottles via the waste removal gripping component 22 and removes them, transferring them to the waste removal channel 25 for removal. Since the containers to be removed are all positioned inside the nest board, accurate removal can be ensured, avoiding the situation where waste removal errors occur due to disorder caused by bottles tipping over in the later single-row conveyor track. After the waste removal is completed, for vials, the bottle-lifting component 21 can lift each row of containers sequentially, the de-nesting clamping component 26 clamps the neck of the vial, and then the waste removal robot 23 pushes the entire row of vials out of the de-nesting clamping component 26 via the bottle-pushing component 28, realizing the de-nesting of the vials. See details. Figure 6 and Figure 7For cartridge bottles and pre-filled needles, the nest board transfer mechanism 3 transfers the nest board from the rejection mechanism 2 back into the nest box, and the nest box conveying track 1 transports the rejected nest box to the subsequent work station. It can accommodate different types of containers and has strong adaptability.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rejection mechanism 2 also includes a bottle conveying track 27, and the detachment clamping component 26 is a liftable structure. The bottle inlet end of the bottle conveying track 27 is connected to the detachment clamping component 26. After rejection is completed, for vials, the bottle lifting component 21 can lift each row of containers sequentially, and the detachment clamping component 26 clamps and lifts the bottle neck, facilitating the removal of the vials from the nesting plate. Then, the rejection robot 23 pushes the entire row of vials from the detachment clamping component 26 to the bottle conveying track 27 through the bottle pushing component 28, realizing the removal of the vials from the nest. The bottle conveying track 27 then transports the vials to the subsequent workstation. The detachment clamping component 26 is a liftable structure, which facilitates the removal of vials from the nesting plate and also helps to avoid the rejection robot 23 during rejection. It should be noted that for the specific structure of the top bottle component 21, the nest-removing clamping component 26, etc., please refer to the prior applications disclosed in CN221440295U, which disclose a nest-removing device and a nest-removing machine, and CN223014985U, which disclose a nest-removing machine.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottle conveying track 27 is a telescopic structure, which facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the bottle conveying track 27 and the detachment clamping component 26 to achieve docking, so that the vial can be smoothly pushed from the detachment clamping component 26 to the bottle conveying track 27.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the bottle conveying track 27 is arranged parallel to the nest box conveying track 1, which facilitates the sequential transfer of the entire row of bottles on the nest tray to the detachment clamping component 26 and the bottle conveying track 27, while making the overall structure of the device more compact and reducing the factory area occupied.

[0034] See details Figure 5 In this embodiment, the top-mounted component 21 includes multiple first top rods 211 and multiple second top rods 212, which are arranged alternately. To improve the utilization rate of the nest tray, adjacent rows of containers are slightly misaligned rather than perfectly aligned. By alternating the arrangement of the multiple first top rods 211 and multiple second top rods 212, the first top rods 211 and the second top rods 212 can be used to lift adjacent rows of containers without needing to move or adjust their positions, thus improving efficiency.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a waste bottle collection component 24 (e.g., a collection frame, collection bucket, etc.) is provided at the end of the waste removal channel 25 away from the top bottle component 21. After the waste removal robot 23 removes the waste bottle through the waste removal gripping component 22 and transfers it to the waste removal channel 25, it can be transported by the waste removal channel 25 to the waste bottle collection component 24 for collection.

[0036] See details Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the nest box conveying track 1 is sequentially equipped with a nest board loading station 11, a nest board unloading station 12, and a nest box unloading station 13 along the conveying direction. A nest board transfer mechanism 3 is located between the nest board loading station 11 and the reject mechanism 2. A nest board loading / unloading robot 4 is located on one side of the nest board transfer mechanism 3. When a nest box is conveyed to the nest board loading station 11, the nest board loading / unloading robot 4 grabs the nest board and then transfers it to the nest board transfer mechanism 3. After the nest board returned by the nest board transfer mechanism 3 is in place, the nest board loading / unloading robot 4 grabs the nest board and then transfers it to an empty nest box located at the nest board unloading station 12, and this cycle repeats. When a nest box arrives at the nest box unloading station 13, it is unloaded and transferred to the subsequent station. The structure is simple and the layout is reasonable.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, one end of the nest box conveying track 1, which has a nest box unloading station 13, is connected to the nest box unloading track 5, and a pusher mechanism 51 is provided on one side of the nest box unloading track 5. When the nest box arrives at the nest box unloading station 13, the pusher mechanism 51 pushes the nest box from the nest box conveying track 1 to the nest box unloading track 5 to complete the unloading. The structure is simple and effective.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the nest box unloading track 5 is arranged perpendicularly to the nest box conveying track 1, which is a reasonable layout and occupies a small area of ​​the factory.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a turning station 14 is also provided upstream of the nest tray loading station 11 (i.e., the nest box passes through the turning station 14 first, and then passes through the nest tray loading station 11). If the long side of the container array on the nest tray (where more containers are placed on the long side) is not facing the rejection mechanism 2, the nest box is rotated 90° so that the long side of the container matrix faces the rejection mechanism 2, thereby maximizing the number of containers removed from the nest each time.

[0040] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the present invention, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention, without departing from the content of the present invention, should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
