Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding mechanism technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for a medicine blister pack of a cartoning machine. Background Technology

[0002] As the core equipment of a pharmaceutical packaging line, the performance of a cartoning machine directly affects the overall production capacity and product qualification rate.

[0003] Currently, among existing blister pack feeding mechanisms, such as the patent with announcement number CN221757882U, which discloses a feeding mechanism for a blister pack in a cartoning machine, this utility model includes a base. A sorting mechanism is movably mounted on the top of the base. A protective box is movably mounted on one side of the sorting mechanism. A sliding box is movably connected to one side of the protective box. The main body of the blister pack is movably connected to one side of the sliding box. A sensor is movably mounted on the bottom front of the sorting mechanism. A power cord is movably connected to the top of the sensor. A control panel is movably mounted on the top of the power cord.

[0004] Existing mechanisms have been found to be inconvenient for conveying and stacking blister packs before feeding them into the blister packing machine's compartment, thus reducing the convenience of blister packing operations.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, it is necessary to study and design a feeding mechanism for the medicine hopper of a cartoning machine to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for the blister pack compartment of a cartoning machine that improves the ease of operation and work efficiency of stacking and boxing blister packs.

[0007] This utility model discloses a feeding mechanism for a blister pack hopper in a cartoning machine, comprising a base and a conveyor belt, with the conveyor belt mounted on the top of the base; it also includes a support device, a limiting mechanism, an actuating device, a moving device, a support platform, a C-shaped pusher plate, and a feeding plate. The support platform is located on the side of the conveyor belt and is mounted on the support device, which supports the lifting and lowering movement of the support platform. A limiting mechanism is provided on the support platform to limit the movement of the blister packs. The C-shaped pusher plate is mounted on the support platform via the moving device, which drives the C-shaped pusher plate to move horizontally. The feeding plate is mounted on the conveyor belt via the actuating device, which drives the feeding plate to move. The blister packs are placed on the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt transports the blister packs upwards to the support platform. As the blister packs are about to fall onto the support platform, an actuating device moves the feeding plate, pushing the blister packs from the conveyor belt to the top of the support platform. At this point, a limiting mechanism stops the blister packs on the support platform. Then, the support device moves the support platform down one station. As the conveyor belt continues to transport the blister packs, the feeding plate pushes the blister packs onto the support platform again. Thus, the blister packs are neatly stacked on the top of the support platform under the action of the limiting mechanism. When the required number of stacked blister packs is reached, a C-shaped pusher pushes the stacked blister packs into the blister pack compartment of the cartoning machine, improving the convenience of stacking and cartoning operations and increasing work efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, the actuating device includes a driving device, a support, a guide, a slider, a first telescopic rod, and a first electric cylinder. The support is mounted on the conveyor belt, the guide is mounted on the support, and the slider is slidably mounted on the guide via the driving device. The top ends of the first telescopic rod and the first electric cylinder are both connected to the outer wall of the slider, and the moving ends of the first telescopic rod and the first electric cylinder are both connected to the top end of the feeding plate. When the conveyor belt transports the medicine blister towards the support platform, the first electric cylinder drives the feeding plate to move downward, so that the feeding plate moves to the side of the medicine blister. Then, the driving device drives the slider to slide, so that the slider drives the feeding plate to move and push the medicine blister into the limiting mechanism, thereby improving the convenience of medicine blister stacking and positioning.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a base, a second electric cylinder, a guide column, and a side plate. The base is disposed on the outer wall of the support platform, the second electric cylinder is mounted on the outer wall of the base, the guide column is slidably mounted on the base, the end of the guide column is connected to the side plate, and the moving end of the second electric cylinder is connected to the side plate. The side plate limits the position of the medicine blister pack, thereby aligning and stacking the medicine blister packs on the support platform. The second electric cylinder drives the side plate to move its position, improving the convenience of the C-type pusher plate in pushing the medicine blister packs into the medicine blister pack compartment.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes two sets of limiting plates, both of which are set on the outer side wall of the side plate; by pushing the medicine plate between the two sets of limiting plates, the neatness of the medicine plate alignment and stacking is improved.

[0011] Furthermore, the moving device includes a multi-stage hydraulic cylinder, which is installed on the outer wall of the support platform. The moving end of the multi-stage hydraulic cylinder is connected to the C-shaped push plate. The C-shaped push plate is moved by the multi-stage hydraulic cylinder, so that the C-shaped push plate pushes and conveys the stacked medicine blister packs.

[0012] Furthermore, the driving device includes a lead screw and a motor. The lead screw is rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the guide member, and the slider is screwed onto the lead screw. The motor is mounted on the outer side wall of the guide member, and the output end of the motor is connected to the lead screw. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby causing the lead screw to drive the slider to move.

[0013] Furthermore, the support device includes a support base, a second telescopic rod, and a third electric cylinder. The second telescopic rod and the third electric cylinder are located at the top of the support base, and the support platform is installed on the moving end of the second telescopic rod and the third electric cylinder. The support platform is moved up and down by the third electric cylinder, which improves the convenience of stacking medicine blister packs.

[0014] Furthermore, a sensor is installed on the conveyor belt; when the sensor detects the position of the medicine plate, the controller controls the mechanism to improve the convenience of the feeding plate pushing the medicine plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This utility model provides a feeding mechanism for the blister pack compartment of a cartoning machine. The blister packs are placed on a conveyor belt and conveyed towards a support platform. As the blister packs are about to land on the support platform, an actuating device moves a feeding plate, pushing the blister packs from the conveyor belt to the top of the support platform. A limiting mechanism then stops the blister packs on the support platform. The support platform then moves downwards one station via a supporting device. As the conveyor belt continues to convey the blister packs, the feeding plate pushes them back onto the support platform. Under the action of the limiting mechanism, the blister packs are neatly stacked on the top of the support platform. Once the required number of stacked blister packs is reached, a C-shaped pusher plate pushes the stacked blister packs into the blister pack compartment of the cartoning machine, improving the ease of operation and efficiency of blister pack stacking and cartoning.
