Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0019] Ampoules are commonly used to store injectable drugs, vaccines, serums, etc. The label information on the surface of the ampoule includes the name of the drug, volume, production date, and batch number.

[0020] To improve the yield rate of finished products, the label information on the ampoules needs to be checked online after printing so that unqualified products can be removed in a timely manner.

[0021] However, in related technologies, the inspection of ampoules typically involves using a laser detector to inspect the ampoules on a conveyor chain. When using this method, the background created by the conveyor chain can easily lead to inaccurate inspection results.

[0022] Based on the above considerations, this application provides a coated embossed lettering system that can reduce the adverse effects of the background formed by the conveyor chain on ampoule detection and improve detection accuracy.

[0023] The coated embossed lettering system of this application embodiment will now be described in detail.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-3 This application provides a coated embossed lettering system 1000, including a detection unit 300 arranged between a printing unit 200 and a rejection unit 400. The detection unit 300 includes a lifting assembly arranged between a conveyor chain 100 and a detector 32. The lifting assembly is used to pick up ampoules on the conveyor chain 100 and lift them. The detector 32 completes the detection when the ampoule is lifted to its maximum height.

[0025] Among them, the inkjet printing unit 200 refers to the label formed on the body of the ampoule by inkjet printing. Compared with the transfer printing method, the label formed by inkjet printing has a good tactile feel.

[0026] The printing unit 200 is arranged above the conveyor chain 100, and the rejection unit 400 is also arranged above the conveyor chain 100. The printing unit 200 includes multiple printing modules and a drying module. The drying module corresponds to the printing module and is used to dry the printed labels in time. Multiple printing modules are arranged at intervals along the direction of travel of the ampoule on the conveyor chain 100. Multiple printing units together print multiple rows of labels that are distributed at intervals along the circumference on the body of the ampoule.

[0027] The detection unit 300 is used to pick up the printed ampoules on the conveyor chain 100 and lift them to a certain height. At this height, the detector 32 is used to detect the quality of the label printing. After the ampoules have been detected, they are transferred to the rejection unit 400, where unqualified products are rejected.

[0028] When the ampoule is lifted to its maximum height by the lifting unit, the label on the ampoule faces upwards, and the detection is completed by detector 32, which is a laser detector. The coating embossing system provided in this application lifts the ampoules on the conveyor chain 100 by using a lifting component, thereby increasing the height difference between the ampoules and the conveyor chain 100 when the inspection is completed. Compared with the prior art, this can reduce the adverse effects of the background formed by the conveyor chain on the inspection of ampoules and improve the inspection accuracy.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-3In some embodiments, the lifting assembly includes two vacuum discs 31. The peripheral surface of the vacuum discs 31 has slots 311 for adsorbing and fixing ampoules. The slots 311 are evenly distributed along the peripheral surface of the vacuum discs 31. The bottom of the slots 311 is provided with air holes 312. The axis of the slots 311 is parallel to the axis of the vacuum discs 31 and parallel to the axis of the rollers 11 on the conveyor chain 100.

[0030] The plane containing the axes of the two vacuum discs 31 is perpendicular to the top surface of the conveyor chain 100, and the two vacuum discs 31 are arranged on the same vertical plane.

[0031] When the ampoule moves along the conveyor chain 100 to directly below the vacuum tray 31, the bottle label faces upwards. The bottom slot 311 on the lower vacuum tray 31 is directly opposite the ampoule. The vent 312 is evacuated, and the ampoule is adsorbed and fixed inside the slot 311. After rotating 180 degrees with the vacuum tray 31, the ampoule label faces downwards. At this time, the ampoule will be adsorbed by the upper vacuum tray 31. After rotating 180 degrees with the vacuum tray 31 again, the ampoule label faces upwards. At this time, the ampoule's posture is the same as when it was picked up on the conveyor chain 100. Two laser detectors are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper vacuum tray 31 to complete the detection of label quality.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
