Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pill packaging technology, specifically an automated pill compression and packaging device. Background Technology

[0002] In the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, pills are a common form of pharmaceutical preparation, and the packaging process after production is one of the key steps to ensure the quality of drug packaging and achieve large-scale production. For a long time, traditional pill packaging operations have relied on manual operation or semi-automated equipment. The specific process usually involves manually pouring pills into temporary storage containers in batches, and then manually sorting or using simple tools to put the pills one by one or in groups into the packaging box. Afterwards, manual inspection is required to check whether the pills are completely placed in the box and whether there are any omissions or misalignments.

[0003] However, this traditional operating mode has many significant drawbacks and can hardly meet the high standards of modern pharmaceutical industry for production efficiency, packaging accuracy and hygiene and safety. From the perspective of production efficiency and labor costs, manual boxing is essentially a simple mechanical operation with high repetition and low technical threshold. Operators need to continuously place pills repeatedly, which can easily lead to muscle fatigue and distraction due to monotonous movements, resulting in a decrease in the operating speed per unit time or the pills not being fully embedded in the designated grooves in the box. It is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production and is prone to problems such as unqualified packaging, which increases the cost of subsequent quality inspection and rework. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problems in related technologies, this utility model provides an automated pellet pressing and boxing device. This device solves the problems of high labor costs and pellets not being fully embedded in the designated position in the box, resulting in unqualified packaging.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the following technical solutions are provided: An automated shot-pressing and boxing device of this utility model includes an installation plate mounted above the box conveyor belt. The installation plate has at least one hole adapted to the box body. A top plate is fixedly mounted on the installation plate. A first cylinder is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the top plate. The piston rod of the first cylinder is arranged vertically upward. A connecting plate adapted to the hole is fixedly mounted on the piston rod. A vertically arranged sliding rod is provided on the connecting plate. The sliding rod passes through the top plate and extends to the space between the top plate and the box conveyor belt. The sliding rod and the top plate are in a sliding engagement. A pressure plate is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the sliding rod. A drive mechanism for pushing the installation plate to move along the length direction of the box conveyor belt is provided on one side of the top plate.

[0006] In the above solution, the first cylinder is activated to drive the sliding rod and the pressure plate to move vertically downwards, replacing manual labor in the process of pressing pills into boxes. This reduces labor costs, minimizes human error, and avoids hygiene risks associated with manual contact with pills. The holes on the mounting plate are adapted to the box body for precise positioning. The sliding rod and top plate provide stable guidance for the pressure plate, ensuring vertical and precise pressing action. This effectively avoids problems such as pill jamming and box deformation, improving the pass rate. It solves the problems of high labor costs and pills not being fully embedded in the designated position within the box, resulting in substandard packaging. The mounting plate can have multiple holes, allowing multiple boxes to operate simultaneously according to production needs, thus improving work efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, a vertically arranged box frame is provided on the mounting plate around the hole, and the top of the box frame is provided with an outwardly inclined bent portion.

[0008] In the above solution, the box frame is combined with the outward-sloping bend at the top to prevent the pill from slipping out during the pressing of the pressure plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a guide rail and a second cylinder. The guide rail is mounted on the support frame on both sides of the conveyor belt of the box. Slider blocks are fixedly mounted on both sides of the lower end face of the mounting plate near the edge. The lower end face of the slider is adapted to the upper end face of the guide rail. The telescopic rod of the second cylinder is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0010] In the above solution, the second cylinder is activated by the drive mechanism. The second cylinder drives the mounting plate to move. Through the cooperation of the guide rail and the slider, the mounting plate moves along the direction of the box conveyor belt, ensuring that the mounting plate does not deviate or shake during the drive process, improving the accuracy of the pellets entering the box, and avoiding problems such as pellet misalignment and box damage caused by the displacement of the mounting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a support base for mounting the second cylinder is provided on the support frame located on one side of the guide rail, and the telescopic rod of the second cylinder passes through the support base and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate.

[0012] The above solution uses a support base to support the second cylinder, effectively preventing the second cylinder from shaking or shifting during its extension and retraction.

[0013] Furthermore, the top plate is n-shaped, the lower end face of the vertical part of the n-shaped top plate is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, the sliding rod passes through the horizontal part of the n-shaped top plate, and a fixing member is sleeved on the sliding rod located in the horizontal part of the n-shaped top plate. The fixing member is fixedly engaged with the top plate, and the fixing member is slidably engaged with the sliding rod.

[0014] The above solution uses fasteners to provide auxiliary support during the sliding of the sliding rod, which helps to reduce bending deformation caused by uneven force on the sliding rod and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0015] Furthermore, the size of the pressure plate is smaller than the size of the hole so that the pressure plate can extend into the hole.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure plate is smaller than the hole and can extend into the hole, so that the pressure plate can directly act on the pill in the box below the hole, ensuring that the pressure is accurately transmitted to the pill and press it smoothly into the box.

[0017] The above solution has the following advantages: 1. This utility model discloses an automated pellet pressing and boxing device. Activating the first cylinder drives the sliding rod and pressure plate to move vertically downwards, replacing manual labor in the pellet pressing and boxing process. This reduces labor costs, minimizes human error, and avoids hygiene risks associated with manual contact with pellets. The holes on the mounting plate are adapted to the box body for precise positioning. The sliding rod and top plate provide stable guidance for the pressure plate, ensuring vertical and precise pressing action. This effectively avoids problems such as pellet jamming and box deformation, improving the pass rate and solving the problem of pellets not being fully embedded in the designated position within the box, resulting in unqualified packaging. The mounting plate can be equipped with multiple holes, allowing for simultaneous operation of multiple boxes according to production needs, thus improving work efficiency.

[0018] 2. By setting up the drive mechanism, the second cylinder is activated, which drives the mounting plate to move. Through the cooperation of the guide rail and the slider, the mounting plate moves along the direction of the box conveyor belt, ensuring that the mounting plate does not deviate or shake during the drive process, improving the accuracy of the pellets entering the box, and avoiding problems such as pellet misalignment and box damage caused by the displacement of the mounting plate.

[0020] 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.

[0021] In specific embodiment 1, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, an automated shot-pressing and boxing device of this utility model includes an installation plate 2 installed above the box body conveyor belt 1. The installation plate 2 is provided with at least one hole 4 adapted to the box body 3. A top plate 5 is fixedly installed on the installation plate 2. A first cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the top plate 5. The piston rod 7 of the first cylinder 6 is arranged vertically upward. A connecting plate 8 adapted to the hole 4 is fixedly installed on the piston rod 7. A vertically arranged sliding rod 9 is provided on the connecting plate 8. The sliding rod 9 passes through the top plate 5 and extends to the space between the top plate 5 and the box body conveyor belt 1. The sliding rod 9 and the top plate 5 are in a sliding fit. A pressure plate 10 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the sliding rod 9. A drive mechanism for pushing the installation plate 2 to move along the length direction of the box body conveyor belt 1 is provided on one side of the top plate 5. The first cylinder 6 is activated, driving the sliding rod 9 and the pressure plate 10 to move vertically downwards, replacing manual labor in the process of pressing pills into boxes. This reduces labor costs, minimizes human error, and avoids hygiene risks associated with manual contact with pills. The holes 4 on the mounting plate 2 are adapted to the box body 3, allowing for precise positioning of the box body 3. The sliding rod 9 and the top plate 5 provide stable guidance for the pressure plate 10, ensuring vertical and precise pressing action. This effectively avoids problems such as pill jamming and box body 3 deformation, improving the pass rate. The mounting plate 2 can be equipped with multiple holes 4, allowing multiple boxes 3 to operate simultaneously according to production needs, thus improving work efficiency.

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, the driving mechanism includes a guide rail 13 and a second cylinder 14. The guide rail 13 is mounted on the support frames 15 on both sides of the box conveyor belt 1. Slider blocks 16 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the lower end face of the mounting plate 2 near the edge, and the lower end face of the slider 16 is adapted to the upper end face of the guide rail 13. The telescopic rod of the second cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 2. When the second cylinder 14 is activated, it drives the mounting plate 2 to move. Through the cooperation of the guide rail 13 and the slider 16, the mounting plate 2 moves along the direction of the box conveyor belt 1, ensuring that the mounting plate 2 does not deviate or shake during the driving process, improving the accuracy of the pellets entering the box, and avoiding problems such as pellet misalignment and damage to the box 3 caused by the displacement of the mounting plate 2.

[0023] A support base 17 for mounting the second cylinder 14 is provided on the support frame 15 located on one side of the guide rail 13. The telescopic rod of the second cylinder 14 passes through the support base 17 and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 2. The support base 17 is used to support the second cylinder 14 and effectively prevent the second cylinder 14 from shaking or displacing during telescopic movement.

[0024] The top plate 5 is n-shaped. The lower end of the vertical part of the top plate 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 2. The sliding rod 9 passes through the horizontal part of the top plate 5. A fixing member 18 is sleeved on the section of the sliding rod 9 located in the horizontal part of the top plate 5. The fixing member 18 is fixedly engaged with the top plate 5 and slidably engaged with the sliding rod 9. The fixing member 18 is used to provide auxiliary support during the sliding of the sliding rod 9, which helps to reduce the bending deformation of the sliding rod 9 caused by uneven force and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the size of the pressure plate 10 is smaller than the size of the hole 4 so that the pressure plate 10 can extend into the hole 4, allowing the pressure plate 10 to act directly on the pill in the box 3 below the hole 4, ensuring that the pressure is accurately transmitted to the pill and press it smoothly into the box 3.

[0026] In a specific embodiment 2, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, a box frame 11 is provided on the mounting plate 2 around the hole 4 in a vertical arrangement. The top of the box frame 11 is provided with an outwardly inclined bending part 12. The box frame 11 and the outwardly inclined bending part 12 at the top are combined to prevent the pill from sliding out during the pressing of the pressure plate 10.

[0027] During operation, the second cylinder 14 is activated, and the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 14 drives the mounting plate 2 to slide along the guide rail 13, so that the hole 4 corresponds to the position of the box 3 on the box conveyor belt 1. The box 3 contains pills. The first cylinder 6 is activated, and the piston rod 7 of the first cylinder 6 retracts, driving the sliding rod 9 to move vertically downward, thereby causing the pressure plate 10 to press down the pills, thus completing the operation.

[0028] During operation, the second cylinder 14 is activated, and the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 14 drives the mounting plate 2 to slide along the guide rail 13 until the hole 4 on the mounting plate 2 is precisely aligned with the box 3 conveyed to the surface of the box body conveyor belt 1. At this time, the box body 3 has already received the pressed-in pills, and the pills are initially placed at the opening of the box body 3. Then, the first cylinder 6 is activated, and its piston rod 7 retracts downward, driving the sliding rod 9 to move vertically downward through the connecting plate 8, so that the pressure plate 10 at the lower end of the sliding rod 9 precisely extends into the hole 4, applying stable pressure to the pills below the hole 4, and pressing them completely into the designated position inside the box body 3, thus completing one pill pressing and boxing operation.
