Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical machinery, and in particular to an automatic bottle counter. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic bottle coding devices are an important piece of equipment in the pharmaceutical industry, mainly used for the automatic filling, sealing, coding, and labeling of medicine bottles. They enable automation, efficiency, and precision in medicine bottle production, improving the quality and efficiency of drug production while reducing production costs. The production and application of automatic bottle coding devices have been widely promoted and praised, becoming an important part of the pharmaceutical industry. With continuous technological development, automatic bottle coding devices will become even more intelligent and refined in the future, further promoting the development of my country's pharmaceutical industry.

[0003] A fully automatic bottle-counting device is disclosed in publication number CN213059075U. The conveying device includes a conveyor belt and a drive roller, with the drive roller located at the end of the conveyor belt in the conveying direction. The sliding device includes a sliding platform and vertical rollers. The sliding platform is fixed to the frame and located at the end of the drive roller in the conveying direction. The sliding platform is divided into upper and lower parts, with the part closer to the drive roller being the upper part and the part further away being the lower part. Several vertical rollers are connected to the upper part of the sliding platform, and several partition plates are fixed to the lower part. The storage device includes a baffle and partition plates. The baffle is fixed to the sliding platform and is located at the end of the sliding platform. The simplified structure of the bottle-stacking machine makes it easier to operate; the absence of large machinery reduces its footprint and optimizes resource allocation; and soft materials are used for packaging key structures to prevent damage to the infusion bottles during movement. The previous method involved manually placing each bottle onto the sliding surface, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic bottle stacking device, which aims to improve the problem that when stacking medicine bottles, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient to manually place each medicine bottle on a sliding surface.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic bottle counter, comprising a loading platform, a robotic arm fixedly connected to the upper surface of the loading platform, a motor fixedly connected inside the robotic arm, a fixed base fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, an outer wall of the fixed base rotatably connected to one end of the robotic arm, a cylinder fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed base, a slide plate fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder, a connecting rod rotatably connected to both ends of the slide plate, a clamp rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod, an anti-slip pad fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed base, a second cylinder fixedly connected inside the loading platform, a sliding seat fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder, and a pushing component provided on the upper surface of the sliding seat.

[0006] The above technical solution involves first placing the medicine bottle on a platform, then using sensors to detect its position and status. A robotic arm then moves a clamp to the bottle requiring adjustment. A cylinder moves a sliding plate along the outer wall of a fixed base, and a connecting rod pushes the clamp to rotate around its connection point with the fixed base. The clamp, along with an anti-slip pad, holds the bottle in place. The extension and retraction of cylinder one can accommodate bottles of different widths. A motor rotates the clamp and bottle to an upright position, placing them on the platform. After this, cylinder two moves a sliding seat inside the platform, and a pusher pushes the bottle onto an electric conveyor belt for automatic sorting and stacking. The electric conveyor belt rotates the bottle along the inner wall of the platform, and an arc-shaped baffle guides the bottle to the periphery of the platform.

[0007] Furthermore, the pushing assembly includes a pushing rod, the middle part of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding seat, and the lower surface of which is slidably connected to the upper surface of the loading platform.

[0008] The above technical solution pushes the medicine bottle by sliding the push rod in the pusher assembly on the loading platform.

[0009] Furthermore, an arc-shaped baffle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the loading platform, and a fixed base is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the loading platform.

[0010] The above technical solution guides the movement of the medicine bottle using an arc-shaped baffle.

[0011] Furthermore, a support frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the loading platform, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the support frame.

[0012] The above technical solution uses a support frame to support a pair of connecting plates.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting plate is internally threaded with a screw, and one end of the screw is rotatably connected to a protective plate.

[0014] The above technical solution enables the drive screw to move the protective plate.

[0015] Furthermore, a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective plate, and a support frame is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the movement of the protective plate will cause the slide bar to slide within the second support frame, thereby achieving guidance.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer wall of the second support frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the loading platform, and the outer wall of the loading platform is fixedly connected to an extension plate.

[0018] Using the above technical solution, the medicine bottle is finally transported to the next process via an extension plate.

[0019] Furthermore, both the loading platform and the inner wall of the extension plate are equipped with electric conveyor belts, and the outer wall of the extension plate is fixedly connected with a support column.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the electric conveyor belt can transport medicine bottles, and the extension plate is supported by the support column.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, the position and status of the medicine bottle are first detected by the sensors inside the loading platform. Then, with the help of the robotic arm, motor, fixed seat, cylinder one, slide plate, connecting rod, anti-slip pad and clamp, the medicine bottle is lifted to stand on the loading platform. Then, the medicine bottle is pushed onto the electric conveyor belt by cylinder two, sliding seat and push rod. This solves the problem of the time-consuming and laborious task of manually placing the medicine bottles one by one on the sliding plane. It achieves automated operation, greatly reduces the time of manual placement of medicine bottles, improves production efficiency, and reduces human intervention and labor costs.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, the drive screw rotates inside the connecting plate, thereby moving the protective plate. Then, in conjunction with the support frame one, support frame two, slide bar and extension plate, the conveying can be adjusted according to different sizes of medicine bottles, achieving stable conveying of medicine bottles of different specifications and improving the versatility of the equipment.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic bottle-counting device, comprising a platform 1, a robotic arm 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the platform 1, a motor 3 fixedly connected inside the robotic arm 2, a fixed base 4 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3, an outer wall of the fixed base 4 rotatably connected to one end of the robotic arm 2, a cylinder 5 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed base 4, a slide plate 6 fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 5, a sliding plate 6 slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed base 4, connecting rods 7 rotatably connected to both ends of the slide plate 6, and a clamp 8 rotatably connected to one end of each connecting rod 7. The outer wall of clamp 8 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of fixed seat 4. An anti-slip pad 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of clamp 8. A cylinder 10 is fixedly connected inside the loading platform 1. A sliding seat 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of cylinder 10. A pushing assembly is provided on the upper surface of the sliding seat 11. The pushing assembly includes a pushing rod 12. The middle part of the pushing rod 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding seat 11. The lower surface of the pushing rod 12 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the loading platform 1. An arc-shaped baffle 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the loading platform 1. A fixed base 23 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the loading platform 1. Specifically, the staff first gently places the medicine bottles to be stacked on the platform 1. The platform 1 is equipped with advanced sensors that can quickly and accurately detect the position and status of the medicine bottles, including their size, shape, and whether their position is stable. After detecting the bottles, the robotic arm 2 moves precisely, sending the clamp 8 accurately next to the bottle that needs adjustment. During this process, the robotic arm 2 makes fine adjustments based on the specific position and status of the bottles to ensure that the clamp 8 can accurately align with them. When the clamp 8 reaches the designated position, cylinder 5 starts working, pushing the slide plate 6 to move smoothly on the outer wall of the fixed base 4, which in turn moves the two connecting rods 7 accordingly. Since the connecting rods 7 are connected to the clamp 8, the movement of the connecting rods 7 further pushes the clamp 8 around the connection point with the fixed base 4. As the clamp 8 rotates, the anti-slip pad 9 contacts the medicine bottle and gradually clamps it. During this process, the extension and retraction of cylinder 5 can be adjusted according to the width of the medicine bottle to ensure that the clamp 8 can firmly hold the medicine bottle while avoiding damage to it. After the clamp 8 successfully holds the medicine bottle, motor 3 starts working, driving the clamp 8 and the medicine bottle to rotate together until the medicine bottle reaches an upright position. At this time, the medicine bottle has been sorted and is ready for the next stacking operation. After the medicine bottle is sorted, cylinder 10 starts working, and its output end pushes the sliding seat 11 to move inside the carrying platform 1, which drives the push rod 12 to move, smoothly pushing the upright medicine bottle above the electric conveyor belt 14. The electric conveyor belt 14 will then transport the medicine bottle to the designated stacking area, completing the entire automatic sorting and stacking process.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The outer wall of the loading platform 1 is fixedly connected to a support frame 15. One end of the support frame 15 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 16. The connecting plate 16 is internally threaded with a screw 17. One end of the screw 17 is rotatably connected to a protective plate 18. The upper surface of the protective plate 18 is fixedly connected to a slide rod 20. The outer wall of the slide rod 20 is slidably connected to a support frame 19. The outer wall of the support frame 19 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the loading platform 1. The outer wall of the loading platform 1 is fixedly connected to an extension plate 21. Both the inner walls of the loading platform 1 and the extension plate 21 are equipped with electric conveyor belts 14. The outer wall of the extension plate 21 is fixedly connected to a support column 22. Specifically, during the transport of medicine bottles, to prevent accidental drops that could cause damage or contamination, the protective plate 18 effectively prevents the bottles from slipping off the conveyor belt during transport. When the drive screw 17 rotates inside the connecting plate 16, it causes the protective plate 18 to move accordingly. As the protective plate 18 moves, it causes the slide bar 20 to slide inside the support frame 19. The position of the protective plate 18 is precisely adjusted according to the size of the medicine bottles, ensuring that they receive proper support and protection regardless of their size. The medicine bottles are then safely transported to the inner wall of the extension plate 21 for transport.

[0028] Working Principle: When the automatic bottle stacking device is needed, the medicine bottles to be stacked are first placed on the platform 1. Then, the position and status of the medicine bottles are detected by sensors inside the platform 1. The robotic arm 2 delivers the clamp 8 to the side of the medicine bottle to be adjusted. Then, the cylinder 5 drives the slide plate 6 to move on the outer wall of the fixed base 4, thereby driving the two connecting rods 7 to move. The connecting rods 7 then push the clamp 8 to rotate around the connection between the clamp 8 and the fixed base 4. Finally, the movement of the clamp 8 drives the anti-slip pad 9 to clamp and fix the medicine bottle. During this process, the extension and retraction of the cylinder 5 can clamp medicine bottles of different widths. Then, the motor 3 drives the clamp 8 and the medicine bottle to rotate to an upright position and place them on the platform 1. The medicine bottles are then sorted. After completion, the output end of cylinder 10 drives the sliding seat 11 to move inside the loading platform 1, thereby driving the pusher rod 12 to push the medicine bottle above the electric conveyor belt 14, achieving the effect of automatic sorting and stacking. Then, the electric conveyor belt 14 drives the medicine bottle to rotate on the inner wall of the loading platform 1. At this time, the arc baffle 13 guides the medicine bottle to the outer perimeter of the loading platform 1. Then, the protective plate 18 can prevent the medicine bottle from falling during the conveying process. At the same time, the drive screw 17 rotates inside the connecting plate 16, thereby driving the protective plate 18 to move. During this process, the movement of the protective plate 18 will drive the slide rod 20 to slide inside the support frame 19. The protective plate 18 can be adjusted according to the size of the medicine bottle. Finally, the medicine bottle is conveyed to the inner wall of the extension plate 21.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
