Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tray loading technology, specifically to a guiding device and tray loading equipment based on an upright soft bag tray. Background Technology

[0002] A sterilization tray is a device used to hold items to be sterilized and can withstand sterilization conditions such as high temperature and high pressure. It is widely used in medical, laboratory, and food processing fields. Figure 1 There is a sterilization tray with several partitions A distributed on it to separate the bottles (ampoules, plastic bottles or soft bags, etc.) in the sterilization tray, to prevent the bottles from crowding each other and affecting the quality of the bottles after sterilization, and at the same time to facilitate the handling of the bottles when unloading the tray.

[0003] When loading the bottles onto the sterilization tray, the necks of the bottles in a row need to be gripped by the gripping component first, and then moved directly above the sterilization tray before being placed directly into the tray. However, during the gripping process, the bottles may tilt due to the different forces applied to each bottle (i.e., the bottles in a row are not on the same straight line). If the bottles are then placed into the sterilization tray, interference or collision between the bottles and partition A may occur, making it difficult to place the bottles between adjacent partitions A. This can easily damage the bottles and affect their quality. Utility Model Content

In this embodiment, the lifting component 30 includes a mounting plate 320 for mounting a power component 310, and the movable end of the power component 310 is connected to the support frame 10. The mounting plate 320 is used to fix the power component 310, and the power component 310 is used to drive the support frame 10 to move closer to or away from the mounting plate 320; the power component 310 is a cylinder. In embodiments not shown, the power component may also be a linear reciprocating mechanism such as a lead screw mechanism.

[0024] Combination Figure 8 In some embodiments, the main frame 10 can be a split structure, with each main frame 10 corresponding to a set of lifting components 30. The guide components 20 on the two main frames 10 are connected to each other, and the connection point forms a complete guide channel 100, through which the bottle can be inserted.

[0025] The lifting assembly 30 is further provided with support assemblies 40 on both sides. The support assemblies 40 connect the support frame 10 and the lifting assembly 30 and are used to support and guide the movement of the support frame 10. Specifically, the support assemblies 40 are provided on both sides of the power assembly 310 along a first direction. The support assembly 40 includes a guide rod and a sliding sleeve that slides on the outside of the guide rod. The sliding sleeve is connected to the mounting plate 320. One end of the guide rod is connected to the support frame 10, and the other end is provided with a limiting ring.

[0026] The lifting component 30 is detachably connected to the support frame 10 bracket via a connecting plate 90, and the support component 40 is connected to the connecting plate 90 to facilitate maintenance and replacement.

[0027] Combination Figure 3 In this embodiment, the guide component 220 includes a first guide portion 2210 and a second guide portion 2220.

The sterilization tray includes a frame and a partition assembly disposed within the frame, dividing the frame into a "well"-shaped structure. The partition assembly includes several transverse partitions and several longitudinal partitions.

[0029] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the system further includes a plurality of baffles 50 that divide the guide channel 100 into a plurality of independent guide cavities 60; wherein the baffles 50 are evenly distributed on the support frame 10 along a second direction. The "well"-shaped structure between the baffles 50 and the guide assembly 20 is suitable for "well"-shaped sterilization trays.

[0030] Combination Figure 7 This application also discloses a tray-filling device employing the aforementioned guiding device based on an upright soft bag tray, further comprising a feeding assembly and a conveying assembly, and a clamping assembly for moving between the feeding assembly and the conveying assembly. The guiding device is disposed between the conveying assembly and the clamping assembly. The feeding assembly may be a walking conveyor for supplying rows of bottles, the conveying assembly may be a roller conveyor for loading and unloading sterilization trays, and the clamping assembly is used to place the bottles from the feeding assembly into the sterilization tray.

[0031] During tray loading, the guiding device connects to the sterilization tray, the clamping component picks up the discharge bottles from the feeding component, and places the bottles sequentially into the sterilization tray in the tray loading station on the conveying component via the guiding device. When the sterilization tray is full of bottles, the guiding device rises, and the conveying component transports a new empty sterilization tray to the tray loading station. The guiding device then descends and resets to connect with the partition A in the sterilization tray, waiting for the clamping component to load the tray.

[0032] Example 2 Combination Figure 4 and Figure 6 This embodiment can replace the lifting component 30 in embodiment 1. The difference is that in this embodiment, the support frame 10 is driven to move so as to avoid the guide component 20 from blocking part of the sterilization tray; by driving the support frame 10 to move, the blocked part of the sterilization tray can be arranged.

[0033] The support frame 10 is movable along a first direction. The lifting assembly 30 is equipped with a lateral movement assembly 70 for driving the support frame 10 to move along the first direction. The lateral movement assembly 70 is connected to the lifting assembly 30, and its driving end is connected to a fixed connecting seat 80. The connecting seat 80 is connected to a fixed component such as an external frame. The lifting assembly 30 is slidably connected to the external frame. The lateral movement assembly 70 is a cylinder; during operation, the lateral movement assembly 70 drives the lifting assembly 30 to move the entire support frame 10 along the first direction.

[0034] Once the sterilization tray is full of bottles, the lateral movement component 70 drives the support frame 10 to move by a distance L3 between adjacent partitions A, so that the guide channel 100 is aligned with the shielded portion of the sterilization tray and the bottling continues.
