Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blister packaging technology, specifically to a flexible blister assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] Blister packets are commonly used to package items such as candy, medicine, and e-cigarette cartridges. During the packaging process, the instruction manual, discount card, and card holder are placed together with the blister packet in the box. The card holder primarily serves to separate the blister packet from the instruction manual and discount card. Currently, the assembly of blister packets and card holders largely relies on manual operation. Manual assembly is not only inefficient and difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production, but it is also easily affected by factors such as the skill level and working condition of the operators, resulting in poor stability and consistency in the assembly of blister packets and card holders, which in turn affects the overall packaging quality and appearance of the product. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly automated blister flexible assembly machine that enables rapid assembly between blister packs and trays, ensuring the stability and consistency of the assembly.

[0004] A flexible blister pack assembly machine includes a tray feeding device, a blister pack feeding device, an assembly conveyor line, a follow-up assembly device, and a material unloading and conveying device. The assembly conveyor line includes a conveying drive mechanism and a conveying chain mechanism. Multiple line fixtures are mounted on the conveying chain mechanism. The tray feeding device is used to feed trays onto the line fixtures. The blister pack feeding device is used to feed blister packs onto the line fixtures. The follow-up assembly device is installed on the conveying path of the assembly conveyor line. The follow-up assembly device cooperates with the line fixtures to realize the assembly between blister packs and trays. The material unloading and conveying device is used to automatically unload the assembled blister packs and trays.

[0005] In the above scheme, the blister packing device first loads the blister onto the production line fixture. The conveying drive mechanism drives the conveyor chain mechanism to move, so that the conveyor chain mechanism transports the production line fixture carrying the blister along a preset path to the position of the blister packing device. The blister packing device can load multiple blister packs onto the production line fixture at a time. When the production line fixture passes the follow-up assembly device, the follow-up assembly device cooperates with the production line fixture to assemble the blister and the blister. The assembled blister and blister are automatically unloaded by the unloading and conveying device. This equipment has a high degree of automation and can continuously and sequentially perform blister packing, blister packing, assembly between blister and blister, and unloading, which can greatly improve the assembly efficiency and ensure the stability and consistency of the blister and blister assembly.

[0006] Furthermore, the line fixture includes a connecting seat, a fixture base, a bubble cover pusher assembly, a blister packer presser assembly, and a pusher assembly. The connecting seat is connected to the fixture base. The fixture base is provided with a first receiving groove for placing the blister packer, a second receiving groove for placing the bubble cover, and a third receiving groove located on both sides of the second receiving groove. The bubble cover pusher assembly is used to push the bubble cover to connect with the blister packer. The blister packer presser assembly is used to limit the blister packer and the bubble cover. The pusher assembly pushes up the snap-fit ​​portion of the blister packer.

[0007] In the above scheme, the tray feeding device feeds the tray into the first receiving groove, and the blister feeding device feeds the blister into the second receiving groove. When the online fixture passes through the follow-up assembly device, the tray-pressing follow-up component acts on the tray and the blister first, ensuring that the tray and the blister can be stably assembled when the blister-pushing follow-up component pushes the blister to the tray. During assembly, the push follow-up component will lift the snap-fit ​​part of the tray, and the side of the blister will be located below the snap-fit ​​part. In this way, when the push follow-up component resets, the snap-fit ​​part will also reset and snap together with the blister. The whole process is smooth and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, the bubble cover follower assembly includes a first follower plate, a first pusher plate, and a plurality of first elastic members. The first pusher plate is connected to the first follower plate. One end of the first elastic member is connected to the first pusher plate, and the other end is connected to the connecting seat. A first cam follower is installed on the end of the first follower plate away from the first pusher plate.

[0009] In the above scheme, the first cam follower can drive the first follower plate to move under the action of the follower assembly device, thereby driving the first pusher plate to push the blister towards the card tray. At this time, the first elastic element is stretched, so that the blister and the card tray are assembled together. When the first cam follower moves away from the follower assembly device, the first elastic element resets and drives the first pusher plate to reset.

[0010] Furthermore, the pressure tray follower assembly includes a second follower plate, a first connecting plate, and a second connecting plate. The first connecting plate is connected to the second follower plate. The first connecting plate is connected to the connecting seat via a second elastic element. A second cam follower is installed at the end of the second follower plate away from the first connecting plate. Sliding blocks that are slidably disposed in the third receiving groove are connected to both ends of the first connecting plate. The sliding blocks are connected to pressure plates. The two ends of the second connecting plate are elastically lifted and lowered to the sliding blocks. The second connecting plate is connected to a plurality of limiting plates.

[0011] In the above scheme, the second cam follower can drive the second follower plate to move under the action of the follower assembly device, thereby driving the first connecting plate to move. Since the two ends of the first connecting plate are connected to sliding blocks and the sliding blocks are connected to pressure plates, the first connecting plate can drive the pressure plate to move towards the card tray and press it on the card tray. At the same time, the first connecting plate drives the second connecting plate to move, so that the limiting plate moves towards the card tray. The limiting plate ensures that the blister will not shift left or right when it is pushed onto the card tray, ensuring the stability and consistency of the assembly of the blister and the card tray. The second elastic element can realize the automatic reset of the first connecting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the follow-up assembly device includes a support frame, a first track plate, a second track plate, and a push plate. The first track plate is located above the second track plate. The first cam follower can move along the side of the first track plate, and the second cam follower can move along the side of the second track plate. The push plate is used to press down the second connecting plate.

[0013] In the above scheme, when the line fixture passes through the follower assembly device, the second cam follower first contacts the second track plate and moves along the side of the second track plate. The pressure plate and the limiting plate are pushed out, and the second connecting plate is pressed down by the push plate, so that the limiting plate moves down to ensure the stability of the blister movement. As the line fixture moves, the first cam follower then contacts the first track plate and moves along the side of the first track plate, thereby pushing the blister onto the card holder for assembly with the card holder.

[0014] Furthermore, the follow-up assembly device also includes a third track plate, which is vertically installed below the line fixture. The push-follow-up assembly includes a third follow-up plate, a mounting plate, and a push pin. The mounting plate is connected to the third follow-up plate, and the push pin is installed on the mounting plate. The push pin can pass through the fixture base. A third cam follower is installed at the end of the third follow-up plate away from the mounting plate, and the third cam follower is in movable contact with the third track plate.

[0015] In the above scheme, when the line fixture passes through the follower assembly device, the third cam follower moves along the third track plate to drive the third follower plate to rise, thereby driving the mounting plate to rise, so that the ejector pin rises and pushes up the snap-fit ​​part of the card holder. In this way, the side of the blister can move to below the snap-fit ​​part. After the third cam follower moves away from the third track plate, the ejector pin descends, and the snap-fit ​​part descends and presses on the blister, thereby completing the assembly of the blister and the card holder.

[0016] Furthermore, the tray feeding device includes a rotating disk, a rotation drive mechanism, a transmission mechanism, and several sets of suction mechanisms. The rotation drive mechanism is used to drive the rotating disk to rotate. The transmission mechanism is installed on one side of the rotating disk, and the several sets of suction mechanisms are located on the other side of the rotating disk and connected to the transmission mechanism.

[0017] In the above scheme, the rotation drive mechanism is used to drive the rotating disk to rotate. Under the action of the rotating disk, the transmission mechanism can drive the suction mechanism to rotate to pick up the card tray and place the card tray on the line fixture.

[0018] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a main gear, a first gear, a second gear, and a transmission belt. The first gear, mounted on the rotating disk, meshes with the main gear and the second gear. The second gear is connected to a first transmission wheel. The suction mechanism is connected to a second transmission wheel. The transmission belt is wound around the first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel.

[0019] In the above scheme, when the rotating disk rotates, it will drive the first gear to rotate along the main gear, and at the same time drive the second gear to rotate. The rotation of the second gear will drive the first synchronous pulley to rotate. Under the action of the transmission belt, the second transmission pulley rotates, so that the suction mechanism rotates to complete the suction and placement of the card tray.

[0020] Furthermore, the unloading and conveying device includes an X-axis motion module, a Y-axis motion module, and a Z-axis motion module. The X-axis motion module is connected to two sets of Y-axis motion modules, and the Z-axis motion module is connected to the X-axis motion module. A conveying mechanism is installed on the Z-axis motion module.

[0021] In the above solution, the material handling device can move flexibly in three-dimensional space through the combination of X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis motion modules. The handling mechanism can accurately grab the assembled blister packs and trays and transport them to the designated material handling area. It can easily cope with the relative position of the material handling area and the assembly conveyor line, which greatly improves the adaptability of the equipment to different production layouts and space utilization.

[0022] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a mounting base plate, several sets of linear guide rail assemblies, multiple sets of vacuum adsorption assemblies, and an adjustable base plate that can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction. Several sets of linear guide rail assemblies are mounted on the mounting base plate, multiple sets of vacuum adsorption assemblies are connected to the linear guide rail assemblies, and the vacuum adsorption assemblies are connected to a fourth cam follower. The adjustable base plate is provided with multiple sliding grooves, and the fourth cam follower is movably embedded in the sliding grooves.

[0023] In the above scheme, the base plate is connected to the Z-axis motion module, and multiple sets of vacuum adsorption components are connected to the mounting base plate through linear guide rail components. The fourth cam follower is movably embedded in the sliding groove of the adjusting base plate. Under the lifting action of the adjusting base plate, the vacuum adsorption components can be adjusted along the linear guide rail. This allows the spacing between the vacuum adsorption components to be adjusted according to the actual handling needs, thereby ensuring the flexibility and reliability of handling.

[0024] This utility model discloses a flexible blister pack assembly machine, which features a high degree of automation, enables rapid assembly between blister packs and trays, and ensures the stability and consistency of the assembly. The tray feeding device first feeds the trays onto the production line fixture. A conveyor drive mechanism drives a conveyor chain mechanism, which transports the production line fixture carrying the trays along a preset path to the blister pack feeding device. The blister pack feeding device can feed multiple blister packs onto the production line fixture at a time. As the production line fixture passes the follow-up assembly device, the follow-up assembly device works in conjunction with the production line fixture to assemble the blister packs and trays. The assembled blister packs and trays are then automatically unloaded by a material handling device. This highly automated equipment can continuously and sequentially perform tray feeding, blister feeding, blister-to-tray assembly, and unloading, greatly improving assembly efficiency and ensuring the stability and consistency of the blister-to-tray assembly.

[0038] The following will describe in further detail a flexible blister assembly machine of the present invention with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in a preferred embodiment, the automatic blister packing machine of the present invention includes a tray feeding device 2, a blister packing device 3, an assembly conveyor line 1, a follow-up assembly device 4, and a material unloading and conveying device 5. The assembly conveyor line 1 includes a conveying drive mechanism 11 and a conveying chain mechanism 12. Multiple line fixtures 6 are installed on the conveying chain mechanism 12. The tray feeding device 2 is used to feed trays 7 onto the line fixtures 6. The blister packing device 3 is used to feed blister packs 8 onto the line fixtures 6. The follow-up assembly device 4 is installed on the conveying path of the assembly conveyor line 1. The follow-up assembly device 4 cooperates with the line fixtures 6 to realize the assembly between the blister packs 8 and the trays 7. The material unloading and conveying device 5 is used to automatically unload the assembled blister packs 8 and trays 7. The blister packing device 2 first loads the blister pack 7 onto the line fixture 6. The conveying drive mechanism 11 in the assembly conveyor line drives the conveyor chain mechanism 12 to run, so that the conveyor chain mechanism 12 transports the line fixture 6 carrying the blister pack 7 along a preset path to the position of the blister packing device 3. The blister packing device 3 can load multiple blister packs 8 onto the line fixture 6 at a time. When the line fixture 6 passes the follow-up assembly device 4, the follow-up assembly device 4 cooperates with the line fixture 6 to assemble the blister pack 8 and the blister pack 7. The assembled blister pack 8 and blister pack 7 are automatically unloaded by the unloading and conveying device 5. This equipment has a high degree of automation and can continuously and sequentially perform blister pack 7 loading, blister pack 8 loading, blister pack 8 and blister pack 7 assembly and unloading, which can greatly improve the assembly efficiency and ensure the stability and consistency of the assembly of blister pack 8 and blister pack 7.

[0040] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 8 The conveying drive mechanism 11 is a gear reducer motor. The conveying chain mechanism 12 includes a sprocket and chain transmission assembly 121 and a sprocket and chain conveying assembly 122. The output end of the gear reducer motor is connected to the sprocket and chain transmission assembly 121. The sprocket and chain transmission assembly 121 is connected to the sprocket and chain conveying assembly 122. The line fixture 6 is installed on the conveying chain 1221 of the sprocket and chain conveying assembly 122, thereby enabling the line fixture 6 to return and ensuring uninterrupted continuous operation of the equipment.

[0041] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the line fixture 6 includes a connecting seat 61, a fixture base 62, a bubble cover pusher assembly 63, a clip holder pusher assembly 64, and a pusher assembly 65. The connecting seat 61 is connected to the fixture base 62. The fixture base 62 is provided with a first receiving groove 621 for placing the clip holder 7, a second receiving groove 622 for placing the bubble cover 8, and a third receiving groove 623 located on both sides of the second receiving groove 622. The bubble cover pusher assembly 63 is used to push the bubble cover 8 to connect with the clip holder 7. The clip holder pusher assembly 64 is used to limit the clip holder 7 and the bubble cover 8. The pusher assembly 65 is used to lift the snap-fit ​​part 71 of the clip holder 7. The tray feeding device 2 feeds the tray 7 into the first receiving groove 621, and the blister packing device 3 feeds the blister pack 8 into the second receiving groove 622. When the online fixture 6 passes through the follow-up assembly device 4, the tray-pressing follow-up component 64 acts on the tray 7 and the blister pack 8 first, ensuring that the tray 7 and the blister pack 8 can be stably assembled when the blister pack pushing follow-up component 63 pushes the blister pack 8 to the tray 7. During assembly, the push follow-up component 65 will lift the snap-fit ​​part 71 of the tray 7, and the side of the blister pack 8 will be located below the snap-fit ​​part 71. In this way, when the push follow-up component 65 resets, the snap-fit ​​part 71 will also reset and snap together with the blister pack 8. The whole process is continuous and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0042] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the bubble cover follower assembly 63 includes a first follower plate 631, a first pusher plate 632, and a plurality of first elastic members 634. The first pusher plate 632 is connected to the first follower plate 631. One end of the first elastic member 634 is connected to the first pusher plate 632, and the other end is connected to the connecting seat 61. A first cam follower 633 is installed at the end of the first follower plate 631 away from the first pusher plate 632. Under the action of the follower assembly device 4, the first cam follower 633 can drive the first follower plate 631 to move, thereby driving the first pusher plate 632 to push the bubble cover 8 towards the tray 7. At this time, the first elastic member 634 is stretched, so that the bubble cover 8 and the tray 7 are assembled together. When the first cam follower 633 moves away from the follower assembly device 4, the first elastic member 634 resets, driving the first pusher plate 632 to reset.

[0043] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the pressure tray follower assembly 64 includes a second follower plate 641, a first connecting plate 642, and a second connecting plate 643. The first connecting plate 642 is connected to the second follower plate 641. The first connecting plate 642 is connected to the connecting seat 61 through a second elastic member 644. A second cam follower 645 is installed at the end of the second follower plate 641 away from the first connecting plate 642. Sliding blocks 647 that are slidably disposed in the third receiving groove 623 are connected to both ends of the first connecting plate 642. A pressure plate 646 is connected to the sliding blocks 647. The two ends of the second connecting plate 643 are elastically and vertically connected to the sliding blocks 647. A plurality of limiting plates are connected to the second connecting plate 643.

[0044] Specifically, the second cam follower 645, under the action of the follower assembly device 4, can drive the second follower plate 641 to move, thereby driving the first connecting plate 642 to move. Since the two ends of the first connecting plate 642 are connected to sliding blocks 647, and the sliding blocks 647 are connected to pressure plates 646, the first connecting plate 642 can drive the pressure plates 646 to move towards the card holder 7 and press them on top of the card holder 7. At the same time, the first connecting plate 642 drives the second connecting plate 643 to move, so that the limiting plate moves towards the card holder 7. The limiting plate ensures that the blister 8 will not shift left or right when it is pushed onto the card holder 7, ensuring the stability and consistency of the assembly of the blister 8 and the card holder 7. The second elastic element 644 can realize the automatic reset of the first connecting plate 642.

[0045] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the follower assembly device 4 includes a support frame 41, a first track plate 42, a second track plate 43, and a push plate 44. The first track plate 42 is located above the second track plate 43. A first cam follower 633 can move along the side of the first track plate 42, and a second cam follower 645 can move along the side of the second track plate 43. The push plate 44 is used to press down the second connecting plate 643. When the line fixture 6 passes through the follower assembly device 4, the second cam follower 645 first contacts the second track plate 43 and moves along the side of the second track plate 43. The pressure plate 646 and the limiting plate are pushed out, and the second connecting plate 643 is pressed down by the push plate 44, so that the limiting plate moves down to ensure the stability of the blister 8 movement. As the line fixture 6 moves, the first cam follower 633 then contacts the first track plate 42 and moves along the side of the first track plate 42, thereby pushing the blister 8 onto the tray 7 for assembly with the tray 7.

[0046] In this embodiment, the second track plate 43 is an isosceles trapezoid. When the second cam follower 645 moves along the first side, it pushes the second follower plate 641 towards the first receiving groove 621. When it passes the first corner, the second follower plate 641 is in place. After the second jump, the first cam follower 633 begins to pass the first inclined side of the second track plate 43. During this process, the first follower plate 631 is pushed. When it passes the first corner of the second track plate 43, the bubble 8 is pushed into place. The second cam follower 645 then reaches the second corner. After that, the first push plate 632 and the first connecting plate 642 begin to reset under the action of the first elastic member 634 and the second elastic member 644. In addition, the cross section of the lower push plate 44 is also an isosceles trapezoid. A ball is mounted on the second connecting plate 643. The ball cooperates with the lower push plate 44 to realize the lifting and lowering of the second connecting plate 643.

[0047] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the follower assembly device 4 further includes a third track plate 45, which is vertically installed below the line fixture 6. The push follower assembly 65 includes a third follower plate 651, a mounting plate 652, and a push pin 653. The mounting plate 652 is connected to the third follower plate 651, and the push pin 653 is installed on the mounting plate 652. The push pin 653 can pass through the fixture base 62. A third cam follower is installed at the end of the third follower plate 651 away from the mounting plate 652. The third cam follower is in movable contact with the third track plate 45. When the line fixture 6 passes the follower assembly device 4, the third cam follower moves along the third track plate 45 to drive the third follower plate 651 to rise, thereby driving the mounting plate 652 to rise, so that the ejector pin 653 rises and pushes up the snap-fit ​​part 71 of the clip 7. In this way, the side of the blister 8 can move to below the snap-fit ​​part 71. After the third cam follower moves away from the third track plate 45, the ejector pin 653 descends, and the snap-fit ​​part 71 descends and presses on the blister 8, thereby completing the assembly of the blister 8 and the clip 7.

[0048] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the tray feeding device 2 includes a rotating disk 21, a rotation drive mechanism 22, a transmission mechanism 23, and several sets of suction mechanisms 24. The rotation drive mechanism 22 drives the rotating disk 21 to rotate. The transmission mechanism 23 is installed on one side of the rotating disk 21, and the several sets of suction mechanisms 24 are located on the other side of the rotating disk 21 and connected to the transmission mechanism 23. The rotation drive mechanism 22 drives the rotating disk 21 to rotate. Under the action of the rotating disk 21, the transmission mechanism 23 can drive the suction mechanisms 24 to rotate, suck up the trays 7, and place the trays 7 on the line fixture 6. Here, the suction mechanism 24 sucks up the trays 7 from the tray hopper, which is arranged adjacent to the tray feeding device 2.

[0049] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 The rotation drive mechanism 22 includes a gear transmission assembly 221, a first sprocket 222, a second sprocket 223, a transmission chain 224, and a transmission shaft 225. The gear transmission assembly 221 is connected to the conveyor sprocket 1222 on the sprocket and chain conveyor assembly 122, so that the conveyor sprocket 1222 can drive the gear transmission assembly 221 to run, thereby driving the first sprocket 222 connected to the gear transmission assembly 221 to rotate. The transmission chain 224 is wound around the first sprocket 222 and the second sprocket 223, so that it can drive the second sprocket 223 to rotate, causing the transmission shaft 225 connected to the second sprocket 223 to rotate. The transmission shaft 225 is connected to the rotating disk 21, so that it can drive the rotating disk 21 to rotate. The assembly conveyor line 1 and the card tray feeding device 2 are moved through a conveying drive mechanism 11. The structure is compact, and the close cooperation between the various components makes the whole production process smoother.

[0050] like Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, two support rods are installed on one side of the assembly conveyor line 1 adjacent to the card tray feeding device 2. Two pressure plates 9 are rotatably connected to the support rods. The fixture base 62 has a slot corresponding to the position of the pressure plate 9. In this way, when the line fixture 6 passes through the pressure plate 9, the pressure plate 9 can shape the card tray 7 to ensure the flatness of the card tray 7.

[0051] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 23 includes a main gear, a first gear 232, a second gear 233, and a transmission belt 235. The first gear 232, mounted on the rotating disk 21, meshes with the main gear and the second gear 233. The second gear 233 is connected to a first transmission wheel. The suction mechanism 24 is connected to a second transmission wheel 234. The transmission belt 235 is wound around the first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel 234. When the rotating disk 21 rotates, it drives the first gear 232 to rotate along the main gear, and simultaneously drives the second gear 233 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 233 drives the first synchronous pulley to rotate. Under the action of the transmission belt 235, the second transmission wheel 234 rotates, causing the suction mechanism 24 to rotate and complete the suction and placement of the card holder 7.

[0052] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the unloading and conveying device 5 includes an X-axis motion module 51, a Y-axis motion module 52, and a Z-axis motion module 53. The X-axis motion module 51 overlaps two sets of Y-axis motion modules 52, and the Z-axis motion module 53 is connected to the X-axis motion module 51. A conveying mechanism 54 is installed on the Z-axis motion module 53. Through the combination of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis motion modules 53, the unloading and conveying device 5 can move flexibly in three-dimensional space. The conveying mechanism 54 can accurately grasp the assembled blister packs 8 and trays 7 and transport them to the designated unloading area. Regardless of the relative position of the unloading area and the assembly conveyor line 1, it can easily cope with the situation, greatly improving the adaptability of the equipment to different production layouts and space utilization. The blister packing device 3 in this embodiment has a basically the same structure as the unloading and conveying device 5, and its structure and function will not be described in detail here.

[0053] like Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 54 includes a mounting base plate 541, several sets of linear guide rail assemblies 542, multiple sets of vacuum adsorption assemblies 543, and an adjustable base plate 544 that can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction. Several sets of linear guide rail assemblies 542 are mounted on the mounting base plate 541, multiple sets of vacuum adsorption assemblies 543 are connected to the linear guide rail assemblies 542, and the vacuum adsorption assemblies 543 are connected to a fourth cam follower 546. The adjustable base plate 544 is provided with multiple sliding grooves 545, and the fourth cam follower 546 is movably embedded in the sliding grooves 545. The base plate is connected to the Z-axis motion module 53, and multiple sets of vacuum adsorption components 543 are connected to the mounting base plate 541 through the linear guide rail assembly 542. The fourth cam follower 546 is movably embedded in the sliding groove 545 of the adjusting base plate 544. Under the lifting action of the adjusting base plate 544, the vacuum adsorption components 543 can be adjusted along the linear guide rail. This allows the spacing between the vacuum adsorption components 543 to be adjusted according to the actual handling requirements, thereby ensuring the flexibility and reliability of handling.

[0054] The working principle and process of the automatic blister packing machine of this utility model are as follows: the tray feeding device 2 picks up the tray 7 under the action of the rotating disk 21 and places the tray 7 in the first receiving groove 621 of the line fixture 6. Then the assembly conveyor line 1 transports the line fixture 6 loaded with tray 7 to the position of the blister packing device 3. The blister packing device 3 feeds multiple blister packs 8 onto multiple line fixtures 6. When the line fixture 6 passes the follow-up assembly device 4, the follow-up assembly device 4 cooperates with the line fixture 6 to assemble the blister packs 8 and the tray 7 together. The assembled blister packs 8 and tray 7 are automatically unloaded by the unloading and conveying device 5.
