[0002] A pharmaceutical ampoule is a type of fusible, hard glass container that is commonly used to store injectable drugs, vaccines, serums, and the like.

[0003] Currently, the ampoule production process involves cleaning, sorting, filling, and sealing, resulting in a very long conveyor line. Since different processes have different processing speeds, a certain distance of non-powered conveying zone exists between processes to buffer the progress between them. Normally, when an ampoule is conveyed to the non-powered conveying zone, it is pushed by the following ampoules to achieve uninterrupted transport, thus pushing the preceding ampoules towards the powered conveying zone.

[0004] However, the direction of the push force on the subsequent ampoules is not absolutely horizontal; there may be vertical or horizontal components, causing the front ampoules to tilt and wobble. This may result in irregular vibrations of the front ampoules, causing misalignment or even minor blockages when they enter the power delivery area. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an ampoule conveying and collecting device, the purpose of which is to set up a conveying mechanism between the non-powered conveying area and the powered conveying area to improve the problem in the prior art that ampoules in the non-powered conveying area may be misaligned or blocked when entering the powered conveying area.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: An ampoule conveying and collecting device includes a frame, with a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt respectively connected to both ends of the frame along its length.

The edges of the active turntable on both sides abut against the feeding turntable and the discharging turntable, respectively, and the first conveyor channel, the second conveyor channel and the third conveyor channel are connected in sequence.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, both the active turntable and the feeding turntable are provided with retaining rings on their edges, and these retaining rings are distributed along the circumference of the active turntable and the feeding turntable. In some embodiments, the material feeding turntable has a feeding port on its edge, which is distributed along the circumference of the material feeding turntable, wherein the feeding port has an obtuse angle structure.

[0008] In some embodiments, the conveyor is located between the first slot and the second slot, and a stop plate is provided on the side of the conveyor near the first slot and the second slot. The stop plate has a semi-circular structure and abuts against the edge of the active turntable.

[0009] In some embodiments, the active turntable includes a lower cover and an upper cover, and a first protrusion and a second protrusion are respectively provided on the side of the lower cover and the upper cover facing each other, wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion abut against each other, which is suitable for separating the lower cover and the upper cover and forming a clamping groove.

[0010] In some embodiments, the surface of the first boss is provided with a positioning hole, and the surface of the second boss is provided with a positioning post adapted to the positioning hole.

[0011] In some embodiments, the abutment plate has a clamping plate protruding from the side facing the drive turntable, the clamping plate being adapted to the clamping groove.

[0012] In some embodiments, the inner walls of the first conveyor, the second conveyor, and the third conveyor are each provided with a flexible layer.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1 In existing technology, when ampoules are conveyed to the non-powered conveying area, the pushing direction of subsequent ampoules is not completely horizontal, and there may be vertical or horizontal components of force, causing the preceding ampoules to tilt and wobble. This may cause irregular vibrations in the preceding ampoules, which can lead to misalignment when they enter the powered conveying area, or even cause minor blockages.

[0024] Therefore, to address the aforementioned issues and improve the stability of ampoule placement, this utility model discloses an ampoule conveying and collecting device. (See attached document.) Figure 1The system includes a frame 1, with a first conveyor belt 2 and a second conveyor belt 3 connected to its two ends along its length, a first slot 11 on the frame 1, and a material feeding turntable 6 inside the first slot 11. A first conveying channel 7, connected to the first conveyor belt 2, is provided between the material feeding turntable 6 and the inner wall of the first slot 11. A second slot 12 on the frame 1, and a material discharging turntable 9 inside the second slot 12. A third conveying channel 10, connected to the second conveyor belt 3, is provided between the material discharging turntable 9 and the inner wall of the second slot 12. A conveying platform 4 is located on top of the frame 1 and contains an active turntable 5. A second conveying channel 8 is provided between the active turntable 5 and the inner wall of the conveying platform 4. The edges of the active turntable 5 on both sides abut against the material feeding turntable 6 and the material discharging turntable 9, respectively. The first conveying channel 7, the second conveying channel 8, and the third conveying channel 10 are sequentially connected.

[0025] It should be noted that the first conveyor belt 2 is a non-powered conveyor belt, the second conveyor belt 3 is a powered conveyor belt, the inner diameter of the driving turntable 5 is larger than the outer diameter of the feeding turntable 6 and the discharging turntable 9, and the outer diameters of the feeding turntable 6 and the discharging turntable 9 are equal. The driving turntable 5 is externally connected to a drive bearing, and the feeding turntable 6 and the discharging turntable 9 are driven turntables.

[0026] In this embodiment, the main rotating disk 5 rotates under the action of the drive bearing, thereby driving the feeding disk 6 and the discharging disk 9 to rotate. Specifically, the main rotating disk 5 rotates towards the discharging disk 9, thereby driving the feeding disk 6 to rotate towards the first conveyor belt 2, while the discharging disk 9 rotates towards the second conveyor belt 3. Subsequently, the feeding disk 6 can hold the ampoule through the feeding port 24 on its edge. As the feeding disk 6 rotates, it feeds the ampoule from the first conveyor belt 2 into the first conveyor channel 7 and then into the second conveyor channel 8. Since the feeding port 24 has an obtuse angle structure, it can better adapt to the shape of the ampoule, reduce the squeezing and collision of the ampoule, and ensure the stability of the ampoule during the conveying process.

[0027] Furthermore, the ampoules entering the second conveyor channel 8 will continue to be conveyed forward under the drive of the active turntable 5. The retaining ring 16 on the active turntable 5 contacts the ampoule. At this time, because the feeding port 24 has an obtuse angle structure, when the ampoule turns from the feeding port 24 into the retaining ring 16, it can transition more smoothly and avoid the ampoule getting stuck due to the angle of the retaining ring 16 and the feeding port 24 coinciding.

[0028] When the ampoule is conveyed to the discharge turntable 9, the active turntable 5 will have its retaining ring 16 on the edge of the active turntable 5 overlap with the abutment plate 13 due to the cooperation of the clamping groove 17 and the clamping plate 14. This will smoothly transfer the ampoule into the retaining ring 16 on the edge of the discharge turntable 9. Then, as the discharge turntable 9 rotates, the ampoule will be smoothly placed into the third conveyor 10 and finally conveyed to the second conveyor belt 3.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that the spacing between several retaining rings 16 on the edge of the active turntable 5 is consistent with the spacing of the feeding port 24 on the edge of the feeding turntable 6 and the spacing of the retaining rings 16 on the edge of the feeding turntable 9.

[0030] The aforementioned mechanism allows ampoules to enter the power delivery zone individually and in an orderly manner. Compared to the delivery method that relies solely on the thrust of subsequent ampoules, this ampoule delivery and collection device improves the problems of tilting, shaking, misalignment, and blockage of the front ampoules when transitioning to the power delivery zone due to the unstable thrust direction of subsequent ampoules.

[0031] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, in order to improve the stability of the active turntable 11, a stop plate 13 is provided on the side of the conveyor table 4 near the first slot 11 and the second slot 12. The stop plate 13 has a semi-circular structure and abuts against the edge of the active turntable 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, the active turntable 5 includes a lower cover 18 and an upper cover 21. The lower cover 18 and the upper cover 21 are respectively provided with a first protrusion 19 and a second protrusion 22 on the side facing each other. The first protrusion 19 and the second protrusion 22 abut against each other, which is suitable for separating the lower cover 18 and the upper cover 21 and forming a clamping groove 17. The conveying table 4 has a support plate 13 on the side close to the first slot 11 and the second slot 12. Its semi-circular structure abuts against the edge of the active turntable 5. The clamping plate 14 on the support plate 13 is adapted to the clamping groove 17 of the active turntable 5 and can provide a certain support for the active turntable 5.

[0033] Furthermore, the main rotating disk 5 is assembled by splicing the lower cover 18 and the upper cover 21. This splicing structure facilitates the installation and disassembly of the main rotating disk 5, and makes it convenient to clean and maintain its interior.

[0034] For example, the surface of the first boss 19 is provided with a positioning hole 20, and the surface of the second boss 22 is provided with a positioning post 23 adapted to the positioning hole 20. The positioning hole 20 on the surface of the first boss 19 and the positioning post 23 on the surface of the second boss 22 cooperate with each other, so that the lower cover 18 and the upper cover 21 are spliced ​​together.

[0035] Alternatively, a slot extending along its length is provided on the inner wall of the positioning hole 20, and a protrusion adapted to the slot is provided on the surface of the positioning post 23, further improving the stability between the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 18.

[0036] It should be noted that both the first boss 19 and the second boss 22 have through holes on their surfaces for the drive bearing to pass through.

[0037] Example 3 Based on Embodiment 1 to Embodiment 2, a flexible layer 15 is provided on the inner wall of the first conveyor 7, the second conveyor 7 and the third conveyor 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, the flexible layer 15 can buffer the impact force on the ampoule during transportation, and at the same time reduce the friction between the ampoule and the inner wall of the transport channel, thereby improving the transportation efficiency.

[0039] Preferably, the flexible layer 15 can be made of rubber or silicone material.

[0040] In summary, based on Embodiments 1 to 3, the working steps of the ampoule conveying and collecting device are as follows: First, complete the preliminary inspection of the device, and connect the two ends of the frame 1 along its length to the first conveyor belt 2 and the second conveyor belt 3 respectively, to ensure that the first conveyor channel 7 is connected to the first conveyor belt 2 and the third conveyor channel 10 is connected to the second conveyor belt 3; start the external drive bearing of the active turntable 5, adjust the drive direction so that the active turntable 5 rotates toward the feeding turntable 9, thereby driving the driven feeding turntable 6 to rotate toward the first conveyor belt 2 and the feeding turntable 9 to rotate toward the second conveyor belt 3.

[0041] Then, the conveying process is started and the ampoules are guided into the device. The ampoules on the first conveyor belt 2 are pushed by the subsequent materials and approach the feeding turntable 6. The obtuse-angled feeding port 24 on the edge of the feeding turntable 6 locks the ampoules as the turntable rotates, pushing them from the first conveyor belt 2 into the first conveyor channel 7. When the ampoules slide in the first conveyor channel 7, the flexible inner wall layer 15 buffers the impact force and reduces friction damage. Then the ampoules enter the second conveyor channel 8, which is connected to the first conveyor channel 7.

[0042] Next, the ampoule is moved towards the discharge end by the active turntable 5. The ampoule in the second conveyor 8 contacts the retaining ring 16 on the edge of the active turntable 5. When the active turntable 5 rotates, the retaining ring 16 pushes the ampoule along the second conveyor 8. During this time, the semi-circular abutment plate 13 on one side of the conveyor table 4 abuts against the edge of the active turntable 5. The clamping plate 14 on the abutment plate 13 is embedded in the clamping groove 17 of the active turntable 5 to provide support for the active turntable 5 and prevent it from shaking and affecting the ampoule conveying. When the ampoule moves to the discharge turntable 9, the retaining ring 16 of the active turntable 5 is aligned with the retaining ring 16 of the discharge turntable 9, and the ampoule is smoothly transferred into the retaining ring 16 of the discharge turntable 9.

[0043] Finally, the transfer of ampoules to the powered conveyor belt is completed and the operating status is monitored. The discharge turntable 9 rotates with the active turntable 5, driving the ampoules in the retaining ring 16 into the third conveyor 10. The ampoules slide under the protection of the flexible layer 15 of the third conveyor 10 and are finally conveyed to the second conveyor 3, realizing an orderly transition from the non-powered conveying area to the powered conveying area.
