Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product packaging equipment technology, and further to an automatic feeding device for blister products. Background Technology

[0002] Small blister packs successfully combine numerous advantages with their superior protection, user-friendly experience, excellent safety performance, and efficient production. This type of packaging has found widespread application in industries such as pharmaceuticals, health products, electronic components, and small-batch food products.

[0003] However, during the production of these products, due to regulatory traceability and quality management requirements, key markings such as batch numbers and expiration dates need to be printed on their surface or inside. In traditional production processes, to ensure coding accuracy, products are typically positioned and placed one by one on a conveyor belt manually. This method has the following disadvantages: high manpower requirements, extremely low production efficiency, and high costs; poor consistency in manual placement, prone to deviations; and when the conveyor belt speed fluctuates, the coding position can easily shift, leading to a large number of scrapped products and significant waste.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can automatically, continuously, and stably feed blister products to replace inefficient manual operations and ensure the accuracy of subsequent coding processes from the source. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic feeding device for blister products. Through the coordinated action of the vibrating plate mechanism and the auxiliary vibrator, the device can efficiently and automatically transport blister products to the discharge port in a uniform and stable manner, significantly improving the continuity and reliability of the feeding process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic feeding device for blister products, comprising:

[0007] The box body has a discharge port on its side;

[0008] A vibratory feeder mechanism is located inside the housing and includes a spiral track. The end of the spiral track extends to the discharge port. It is used to cause the product to move sequentially along the spiral track to the discharge port with its convex surface facing upward through vibration.

[0009] An auxiliary vibrator is installed at the discharge port and connected to a vibrating track, which is connected to the end of the spiral track.

[0010] A full material monitoring component is installed at the discharge port and is connected to the vibratory feeder mechanism and the auxiliary vibrator for signal transmission, respectively.

[0011] When the full material monitoring component detects that the discharge port is blocked, it controls the vibratory feeder mechanism to slow down the feeding and simultaneously controls the auxiliary vibrator to adjust the discharge speed.

[0012] In some embodiments, the vibratory feeder mechanism further includes a main vibrator, which is installed at the bottom of the housing and connected to the spiral track for generating controlled high-frequency micro-amplitude vibrations. This drives the product to move directionally on the spiral track and automatically adjusts it to a stable posture with the convex surface facing upwards, thereby spiraling upwards along the track and being transported in an orderly manner to the discharge port.

[0013] In some embodiments, the side or top of the housing is provided with an opening, and the spiral track is detachably installed in the housing and can be removed or placed in the housing as a whole through the opening.

[0014] In some embodiments, the bottom of the discharge port extends horizontally outward to form a mounting platform, which extends beyond the side wall of the box by a predetermined length;

[0015] The auxiliary vibrator is installed on the upper surface of the mounting platform;

[0016] The vibration track is positioned above the auxiliary vibrator and is connected to the output end of the auxiliary vibrator.

[0017] In some embodiments, the vibrating track has an S-shaped curved structure and its outlet direction is offset to the side away from the housing, so that the two automatic feeding devices can share a downstream conveyor belt in a symmetrical arrangement.

[0018] In some embodiments, the vibration track is detachably connected to both the auxiliary vibrator and the helical track;

[0019] And / or, the spacing between the baffles on both sides of the vibrating track is adjustable, so that the vibrating track can transport products of different specifications and sizes.

[0020] In some implementations, the width of the spiral track and the vibrating track is matched to the size of a single blister product.

[0021] In some embodiments, the full-load monitoring component includes:

[0022] A through-beam photoelectric sensor, with its transmitter and receiver respectively located on both sides of the discharge port, is used to determine whether material is accumulating and blocking by detecting the on / off state of the light beam.

[0023] Alternatively, infrared sensors and image recognition devices can be used to simultaneously detect the height of material accumulation and identify the material's orientation.

[0024] In some implementations, it also includes:

[0025] An alarm, connected to the full material monitoring component, is used to trigger an alarm when the duration of material blockage exceeds a set threshold.

[0026] In some implementations, it also includes:

[0027] The frame, the box is mounted on the frame, and the bottom of the frame is provided with:

[0028] A number of spaced casters, each caster having a braking function;

[0029] Alternatively, several height-adjustable support legs arranged at intervals can be used to adjust the working level and ground height of the entire device.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the automatic feeding device for blister products provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0031] In this invention, the synergistic action of the vibratory feeder mechanism and the auxiliary vibrator enables efficient and automatic conveying of blister packs to the discharge port in a uniform and stable manner, significantly improving the continuity and reliability of the feeding process. The full-material monitoring component can monitor the discharge status in real time, and can immediately trigger linkage control in case of material blockage. On the one hand, it slows down the feeding speed of the main vibratory feeder to prevent further accumulation, and on the other hand, it activates the auxiliary vibrator to clear the material, thereby effectively avoiding production interruptions, product damage, or subsequent coding errors caused by blockage. The entire system improves feeding efficiency and automation level while greatly reducing the need for manual intervention and the scrap rate caused by material jamming, providing a solid guarantee for subsequent high-precision coding processes.

[0042] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 , Figure 2The present invention provides an automatic feeding device for blister products, comprising: a housing 1, a vibrating plate mechanism 2, an auxiliary vibrator 3, and a full-material monitoring component 4; a discharge port 11 is provided on the side of the housing 1; the vibrating plate mechanism 2 is disposed inside the housing 1, including a spiral track 21, the end of which extends to the discharge port 11, for using vibration to make the product advance sequentially along the spiral track 21 to the discharge port 11 in a convex-facing posture; the auxiliary vibrator 3 is disposed at the discharge port 11 and connected to the vibrating track 31, the vibrating track 31 being connected to the end of the spiral track 21; the full-material monitoring component 4 is disposed at the discharge port 11 and is signal-connected to the vibrating plate mechanism 2 and the auxiliary vibrator 3 respectively; when the full-material monitoring component 4 detects that the discharge port 11 is blocked, it controls the vibrating plate mechanism 2 to slow down the feeding, and at the same time controls the auxiliary vibrator 3 to adjust the discharge speed.

[0044] In this embodiment, through the synergistic effect of the vibratory feeder mechanism 2 and the auxiliary vibrator 3, the blister pack products can be efficiently and automatically transported to the discharge port 11 in a uniform and stable manner, significantly improving the continuity and reliability of the feeding process. The full material monitoring component 4 can monitor the discharge status in real time. Once a blockage occurs, it can immediately link and control the system. On the one hand, it slows down the feeding speed of the vibratory feeder mechanism 2 to prevent the accumulation from aggravating, and on the other hand, it activates the auxiliary vibrator 3 to unclog the material, thereby effectively avoiding production interruptions, product damage, or subsequent coding errors caused by blockage. The entire system improves feeding efficiency and automation level while greatly reducing the need for manual intervention and the scrap rate caused by material jamming, providing a solid guarantee for the subsequent high-precision coding process.

[0045] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The vibratory feeder mechanism 2 also includes a main vibrator, which is installed at the bottom of the housing 1 and connected to the spiral track 21 for transmission. The main vibrator generates controlled high-frequency micro-amplitude vibrations, driving the product to move directionally on the spiral track 21 and automatically adjust to a stable posture with the convex surface facing upwards. The product then spirals upwards along the track and is orderly conveyed to the discharge port 11. Through the orderly guidance of vibration, the product rises smoothly along the spiral track 21, ultimately achieving continuous, neat, and reliable conveying to the discharge port 11. This provides subsequent processes with a consistent and orderly supply of materials, significantly improving the automation and stability of the feeding process.

[0046] Furthermore, the side or top of the housing 1 is provided with an opening 12, and the spiral track 21 can be detachably installed inside the housing 1 and can be removed or inserted into the housing 1 as a whole through the opening 12. This structure facilitates the cleaning, regular maintenance, or quick replacement of the spiral track 21, effectively avoiding the risk of contamination and performance degradation caused by material residue or parts wear, improving the maintainability and service life of the equipment. At the same time, it can also be easily replaced with tracks corresponding to different specifications and sizes of products, expanding the application range of the device.

[0047] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 2 The bottom of the discharge port 11 extends horizontally outward to form a mounting platform 13, which extends a predetermined length beyond the side wall of the housing 1. An auxiliary vibrator 3 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting platform 13. A vibration track 31 is positioned above the auxiliary vibrator 3 and is connected to the output end of the auxiliary vibrator 3 for transmission. This ensures smooth conveying of the product during the transition phase at the discharge port 11, significantly improving the reliability and continuity of the discharge process and providing a stable material flow for subsequent processes.

[0048] Reference manual attached Figure 3 The vibrating track 31 has an S-shaped curved structure, and its outlet direction is offset to the side away from the housing 1, allowing the two automatic feeding devices to share a downstream conveyor belt 6 in a symmetrical and close manner. This structure not only significantly saves installation space in the production line and improves the flexibility of equipment layout and site utilization, but also realizes the centralized convergence of dual material sources to a single conveyor line, effectively improving the integration and production efficiency of the overall conveying system.

[0049] Furthermore, the vibrating track 31 is detachably connected to both the auxiliary vibrator 3 and the helical track 21. This detachable connection allows for quick separation or combination with the auxiliary vibrator 3 and the helical track 21, greatly facilitating component replacement, cleaning, and maintenance. The adjustable spacing between the baffles on both sides of the vibrating track 31 allows it to transport products of different sizes. This structure enhances the equipment's versatility and adaptability, effectively reducing production line adjustment time and equipment modification costs due to product specification changes, and improving the overall flexibility and equipment utilization of the production line.

[0050] Furthermore, the widths of the spiral track 21 and the vibrating track 31 are matched to the dimensions of a single blister pack product. This effectively prevents products from tipping over, overlapping, or getting stuck during transport, ensuring that each product passes through the track system in an orderly manner in a preset direction. This not only improves the reliability and stability of the transport process but also provides a high-quality material flow with uniform posture and spacing for subsequent visual recognition and coding processes, fundamentally improving the precision and efficiency of the entire production system.

[0051] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 2 The full-material monitoring component 4 includes a through-beam photoelectric sensor, with its transmitter and receiver located on opposite sides of the discharge port 11, used to determine whether material is accumulating or blocking by detecting the on / off state of the light beam. Alternatively, the full-material monitoring component 4 includes an infrared sensor and an image recognizer, used to simultaneously detect the material accumulation height and identify the material posture. Using the full-material monitoring component 4 can promptly and accurately detect abnormalities such as material blockage and stacking, providing reliable feedback signals to the system, thereby effectively preventing production interruptions or product quality problems caused by poor material discharge, and significantly improving the stability and intelligence level of equipment operation.

[0052] Furthermore, the automatic feeding device also includes an alarm connected to the full-material monitoring component 4, which triggers an alarm when the duration of material blockage exceeds a set threshold. This early warning mechanism effectively avoids production line downtime, product damage, or equipment failure caused by failure to address material blockage in a timely manner, significantly improving the continuity and reliability of the production process. It also reduces the need for manual inspections, enhancing the intelligence level of equipment operation and production efficiency.

[0053] Further, refer to the attached instruction manual. Figure 1 The automatic feeding device also includes: a frame 5, with the housing 1 mounted on the frame 5. The bottom of the frame 5 is equipped with several spaced-apart casters, which have a braking function. This structure allows the equipment to move flexibly and be reliably fixed, facilitating production line layout adjustments and equipment maintenance. Alternatively, the bottom of the frame 5 may be equipped with several spaced-apart height-adjustable support legs 51 for adjusting the overall working level and ground height of the device. This structure allows for precise adjustment of the equipment's working level and ground height, ensuring stable operation under different working environments.

[0054] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts that are not described in detail or recorded in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0055] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only optional embodiments of this utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
