Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of article clamping, and in particular to a multi-vase adaptive clamping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Clamping and securing medicine bottles is a crucial operation in pharmaceutical production, storage, and transportation. With the continuous development of the pharmaceutical industry, the variety of medicine bottles is increasing, and different sizes and shapes of bottles present new challenges for clamping. Efficient, stable, and adaptable clamping technologies are essential for improving pharmaceutical production efficiency, ensuring drug quality, and reducing transportation losses. For example, on automated production lines, different types of medicine bottles need to be precisely clamped to complete filling and labeling processes; in pharmaceutical warehousing, proper clamping ensures the neat arrangement and safe storage of medicine bottles.

[0003] In previous technologies, various methods were typically employed to clamp medicine bottles. One common approach was to use fixed-size clamps, custom-made to fit the specific dimensions of the bottle. During production or operation, the bottle was placed within the clamp for secure clamping. Another method involved using multiple independent clamping components, controlling the movement of each component individually to hold the bottle. However, this method required a complex control system to coordinate the actions of each component. Additionally, there was a method using adhesive materials for clamping, where the adhesive properties of the substance held the bottle in place.

[0004] However, existing technologies have obvious drawbacks; traditional fixed-size clamps can only be used for specific sizes of medicine bottles. When the size or shape of the medicine bottle changes, a new clamp needs to be replaced, which not only increases costs but also reduces production efficiency; although multiple independent clamping components can adapt to different medicine bottles to some extent, the complex control system increases the failure rate and maintenance difficulty of the equipment; and the use of adhesive materials for clamping may contaminate the surface of the medicine bottle, affecting the quality of the medicine, and its clamping force is not stable, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a multi-vase adaptive clamping mechanism that enables the clamping plate to adaptively and synchronously move closer to or further away from the vase, and uses the elastic force of the elastic reset member to effectively and stably clamp multiple vasees.

[0006] This application is achieved through the following technical solution: An adaptive clamping mechanism for multiple medicine bottles includes a base and clamping plates. The base has a first guide groove and a second guide groove arranged in parallel. The clamping plates include a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base. The first clamping plate is slidably connected to the first guide groove via a first guide rail, and the second clamping plate is slidably connected to the second guide groove via a second guide rail. The first and second guide rails have teeth on their sides, and a gear is rotatably connected to the base. The gear meshes with the teeth of the first and second guide rails to allow the first and second clamping plates to simultaneously move closer to or further away from multiple medicine bottles placed on the base. A first elastic reset member is provided between the first and second clamping plates to provide elastic force to drive the first and second clamping plates to clamp and fix the multiple medicine bottles.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, this multi-vase adaptive clamping mechanism has significant advantages. The first and second guide grooves arranged parallel to each other on the base allow the first and second clamping plates to slide stably within them via the first and second guide rails, respectively. The teeth on the sides of the first and second guide rails mesh with the gears rotatably connected to the base, ensuring that the first and second clamping plates can synchronously move closer to or further away from multiple medicine bottles placed on the base. This synchronous action design allows for flexible adjustment of the clamping position according to the number and distribution of medicine bottles, improving adaptability to different numbers of medicine bottles. The elastic reset element between the first and second clamping plates provides elastic force, driving the two clamping plates to clamp and fix multiple medicine bottles. The presence of the elastic reset element automatically adjusts the clamping force according to the size and shape of the medicine bottles, preventing damage due to excessive clamping force and preventing loosening due to insufficient clamping force, thereby achieving stable and reliable clamping of multiple medicine bottles and meeting the clamping needs of different medicine bottles.

[0008] Optionally, the base includes a panel and a base plate installed at the lower end of the panel, the panel and the base plate forming a cavity with open sides; the first guide groove and the second guide groove are fixed on the base plate; the gear is rotatably connected to a fixed shaft located at the middle of the upper end of the base plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the base consists of a panel and a base plate forming a cavity with open sides. This structural design greatly improves space utilization. The first and second guide grooves are fixed to the base plate, while the guide rail has a height difference with the base plate, allowing the guide rail and other components to be rationally distributed in space, avoiding interference between components and making full use of the space inside the base. At the same time, the gear is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft at the lower end of the panel, further optimizing the spatial layout and making the entire clamping mechanism more compact. In addition, this design facilitates assembly; by setting the first and second guide grooves on the base plate, the guide rail can be easily slidably connected to the guide grooves, reducing assembly difficulty; the gear is connected to the panel through the fixed shaft, and during assembly, the gear can be installed on the fixed shaft first, and then assembled with the panel as a whole, simplifying the assembly process, improving assembly efficiency, and benefiting mass production and subsequent maintenance.

[0010] Optionally, the upper end of the panel has several circular grooves along its length for placing medicine bottles.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a circular groove for placing medicine bottles is provided at the upper end of the base panel, which can confine the medicine bottles within the set area, so that the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate can effectively clamp and fix the medicine bottles, thereby improving the fault tolerance rate.

[0012] Optionally, a flexible pad is provided at the bottom of the circular groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible pad can avoid rigid contact between the medicine bottle and the bottom of the circular groove, thus providing a buffer protection for the medicine bottle and reducing the damage to the medicine bottle during placement.

[0014] Optionally, both the first guide groove and the second guide groove are dovetail grooves.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the first guide groove and the second guide groove are set as dovetail grooves, which makes the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate more stable when sliding in the guide groove, avoiding shaking or derailment, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the multi-vase adaptive clamping mechanism and ensuring the adaptive clamping effect on multiple vasees.

[0016] Optionally, both the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are provided with horizontally arranged clamping parts. A radial sliding hole is provided on the side of the clamping part near the medicine bottle. A clamping block for clamping the medicine bottle is slidably connected in the radial sliding hole, and a second elastic reset member is provided between the bottom of the radial sliding hole and the clamping block to provide a reset elastic force for the clamping block.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, radial sliding holes are provided in the clamping portions of the first and second clamping plates, allowing the clamping block to slide within them. A second elastic reset member is provided between the bottom of the radial sliding hole and the clamping block. When clamping the medicine bottle, if the surface of the medicine bottle is uneven or its position is deviated, the clamping block can adaptively adjust its position under the action of the second elastic reset member, avoiding rigid contact with the medicine bottle. This adaptive adjustment can effectively prevent the medicine bottle from being damaged by rigid compression, and at the same time, it can make the clamping force more evenly distributed on the surface of the medicine bottle, improve the clamping stability of the medicine bottle, and ensure reliable clamping and fixing of the medicine bottle under various conditions.

[0018] Optionally, the clamping block has a V-groove at the end near the medicine bottle; the opening end of the radial sliding hole is adapted to the V-groove.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the V-groove can increase the contact area and friction with the medicine bottle, making the clamping more stable and adaptable to medicine bottles of different shapes and sizes, thus improving the versatility of the clamping mechanism; the opening end of the radial sliding hole is adapted to the V-groove, which can increase the radial range of motion of the clamping block.

[0020] Optionally, the V-groove is provided with an elastic pad.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, setting an elastic pad on the V-groove can increase the friction with the medicine bottle, while avoiding damage to the surface of the medicine bottle, thus improving the stability and safety of clamping the medicine bottle.

[0022] Optionally, the clamping block is provided with a limiting groove in the middle, and the clamping part is provided with a limiting bolt. The limiting bolt is slidably connected in the limiting groove to limit the movement range of the clamping block.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement range of the clamping block can be limited, avoiding excessive movement of the clamping block, ensuring stable clamping of the medicine bottle, and preventing the clamping block from falling out of the radial sliding hole.

[0024] Optionally, a push rod is provided on the side of the first clamping plate near the second clamping plate, and a clearance hole is provided on the second clamping plate for the push rod to pass through.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, a push rod is provided on the side of the first clamping plate near the second clamping plate, and an avoidance hole is provided on the second clamping plate for the push rod to pass through. When the push rod is pushed by an external force, such as the push of an electric telescopic rod, the first and second clamping plates can overcome the elasticity of the first elastic reset member and move away from the base simultaneously. This structural design allows the multi-vase adaptive clamping mechanism to easily switch between clamping and releasing actions. When multiple vasees need to be placed or removed, the push rod is pushed to move the first and second clamping plates away from the base, increasing the distance between them and facilitating the operation of the vasees. After the operation is completed, the elastic reset member can drive the first and second clamping plates to restore the clamping and fixing of the vasees, improving the convenience and efficiency of the vase clamping operation.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate of this application achieve synchronous approach or distance through the meshing of gears and guide rail teeth, which can adapt to multiple medicine bottles of different specifications and shapes, avoiding the problem of frequent replacement of traditional fixed-size clamps, improving production efficiency and reducing costs; 2. The elastic reset element between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate of this application can provide elastic force to achieve stable clamping and fixing of multiple medicine bottles, eliminating the need for a complex control system and reducing equipment failure rate and maintenance difficulty; 3. This application avoids the problem of contamination of the medicine bottle surface that may be caused by using adhesive materials for clamping, ensuring the quality of medicines, and the clamping force is stable and can meet the requirements of high-precision operation.

[0029] The following will be combined with the appendix Figures 1 to 7 The technical solutions of the various embodiments of this application have been clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This application discloses an adaptive clamping mechanism for multiple medicine bottles 10, including a base 1 and a clamping plate 2. The base 1 is provided with a first guide groove 4 and a second guide groove 5 arranged in parallel. The clamping plate 2 includes a first clamping plate 21 and a second clamping plate 22 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 1. The first clamping plate 21 is slidably connected to the first guide groove 4 via a first guide rail 6, and the second clamping plate 22 is slidably connected to the second guide groove 5 via a second guide rail 7. The first guide rail 6 and the second guide rail 7 are provided with teeth on their sides. A gear 8 is rotatably connected to the base 1. The gear 8 meshes with the teeth of the first guide rail 6 and the second guide rail 7 to realize that the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 synchronously move closer to or further away from the multiple medicine bottles 10 placed on the base 1. A first elastic reset member 23 is provided between the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22. The first elastic reset member 23 is used to provide elastic force to drive the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 to clamp and fix the multiple medicine bottles 10.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 3The base 1 includes a panel 11 and a base plate 12 mounted on the lower end of the panel 11. The panel 11 and the base plate 12 form a cavity with open sides. This cavity structure ensures that there is enough space inside the mechanism to accommodate components, while also facilitating external operation and placement of the medicine bottle 10. The panel 11 and the base plate 12 can be fixed together by bolts or other means to ensure structural stability. Of course, welding or other methods can also be used to connect them, as long as the panel 11 and the base plate 12 are firmly joined. The first guide groove 4 and the second guide groove 5 are fixed on the base plate 12. Both the first guide groove 4 and the second guide groove 5 are dovetail grooves. The dovetail groove design makes the guide rail more stable when sliding within it, preventing the guide rail from shaking or detaching from the guide groove during sliding. The first guide groove 4 and the second guide groove 5 can be machined on the base plate 12 by casting, milling or other processes to ensure the accuracy and surface quality of the grooves. Gear 8 is rotatably connected to a fixed shaft 14 located at the middle of the upper end of the base plate 12. The fixed shaft 14 can be installed at the lower end of the panel 11 by means of interference fit or other methods. Gear 8 rotates around the fixed shaft 14 to realize meshing transmission with the teeth of the first guide rail 6 and the second guide rail 7.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The first elastic reset member 23 can be a tension spring, etc. When the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 are moved away by an external force, the spring is stretched and generates elastic force; when the external force disappears, the elastic force of the spring drives the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 to move closer together, thereby clamping and fixing the medicine bottle 10. The two ends of the first elastic reset member 23 can be connected to the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 respectively by hooks or the like.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The upper end of the panel 11 has several circular grooves 13 arranged along its length for placing medicine bottles 10. The circular grooves 13 can be designed according to the common size of medicine bottles 10, making it convenient for the medicine bottles 10 to be accurately placed on the base 1. The bottom of the circular grooves 13 can be provided with a flexible pad, which can be made of materials such as rubber. Its function is to cushion the medicine bottles 10 when they are placed, so as to prevent the medicine bottles 10 from directly colliding with the bottom of the groove and being damaged. At the same time, it can also increase the friction between the medicine bottles 10 and the groove, making the medicine bottles 10 more stable.

[0034] Reference Figures 4 to 6 Both the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 are provided with clamping parts 3 arranged horizontally. The clamping parts 3 are provided with radial sliding holes 31 on the side near the medicine bottle 10. A clamping block 9 for clamping the medicine bottle 10 is slidably connected in the radial sliding holes 31.

[0035] Reference Figures 5 to 7A second elastic reset member 91 is provided between the bottom of the radial sliding hole 31 and the clamping block 9 to provide a reset elastic force for the clamping block 9. The second elastic reset member 91 can be a spring, etc. When the clamping block 9 is squeezed by the medicine bottle 10, the spring is compressed and generates elastic force, so that the clamping block 9 can better adapt to the shape and size of the medicine bottle 10.

[0036] Reference Figures 5 to 7 The clamping block 9 has a V-groove 92 at its end near the medicine bottle 10. The V-groove 92 is designed to better fit medicine bottles 10 of different shapes, increasing clamping stability. An elastic pad 921 is provided on the V-groove. The elastic pad 921 can be made of materials such as silicone to further increase the friction between the clamping block 9 and the medicine bottle 10, while preventing damage to the surface of the medicine bottle 10. A limiting slide groove 93 is provided in the middle of the clamping block 9, and a limiting bolt 32 is provided on the clamping part 3. The limiting bolt 32 is slidably connected in the limiting slide groove 93 to limit the movement range of the clamping block 9. The cooperation of the limiting bolt 32 and the limiting slide groove 93 prevents the clamping block 9 from disengaging from the radial sliding hole 31 during sliding, ensuring the normal operation of the clamping mechanism.

[0037] Reference Figures 5 to 7 A push rod is provided on the side of the first clamping plate 21 near the second clamping plate 22, and a clearance hole 221 is provided on the second clamping plate 22 for the push rod to pass through. The design of the push rod and the clearance hole 221 makes the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 more coordinated when moving synchronously. When the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 are close together, the push rod can pass through the clearance hole 221 to avoid interference between them.

[0038] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The multi-bottle self-adaptive clamping mechanism achieves synchronous movement of the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 through the meshing transmission of the gear 8 and the guide rail teeth, which can adapt to medicine bottles 10 of different specifications. The setting of the first elastic reset member 23 and the second elastic reset member 91 enables the clamping mechanism to automatically adjust the clamping force according to the actual situation of the medicine bottle 10, ensuring stable clamping of the medicine bottle 10. At the same time, the design of the circular groove 13, the V-groove 92 and the elastic pad 921 further improves the stability of the placement and clamping of the medicine bottle 10, avoiding damage to the medicine bottle 10. Compared with the prior art, this mechanism does not require a complex control system, reducing the failure rate and maintenance difficulty of the equipment, and will not cause contamination to the surface of the medicine bottle 10, thereby improving production efficiency and drug quality.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
