Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pharmaceutical equipment technology, specifically relating to an auxiliary feeding device for an automatic ampoule light inspection machine. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to this utility model and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Ampoules are small containers for holding medicines. In the past, glass ampoules were commonly used. However, on the inspection track of a light inspection machine (a pharmaceutical machine used to inspect the quality of drug filling and ensure medication safety), glass ampoules can get stuck or break. To solve this problem, existing technology discloses a conveyor belt anti-jamming device for ampoule light inspection machines, including a rotating drum structure. Under the action of a vibration mechanism, the rotating drum structure is misaligned between the two drums on either side of the ampoule, and the strong squeezing force between them is eliminated, thus preventing jamming. Simultaneously, the rotation of the drums makes the contact points of the ampoule not fixed, avoiding jamming.

[0004] Currently, plastic ampoules have advantages over traditional glass ampoules, such as no glass detachment, less breakage, and easier opening, and are widely used. Plastic ampoules are usually arranged in a single unit, meaning multiple plastic ampoules are connected together. During light inspection, there is no need to worry about the risk of broken ampoules.

[0005] Because plastic ampoules are arranged in a single, continuous panel, they are prone to tipping over on long-distance transport tracks. To address this issue, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the inspection track of the light inspection machine 1 is narrowed and side plates are installed on both sides of the inspection track so that the row of plastic ampoules (hereinafter referred to as the row of ampoules) is parallel to the inspection track. The side plates can prevent the row of ampoules from tipping over.

[0006] However, in the above-mentioned method, when placing the ampoules into the inspection track, the operator usually inserts the ampoules into the inspection track from above. This method has the following drawbacks: Because the inspection track is narrow, it is impossible to accurately insert the rows of ampoules into the inspection track from above, which affects the efficiency of feeding. Arranging for two operators to put the whole board of plastic ampoules into the inspection track in turn can improve the feeding efficiency, but it also increases labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary feeding device for an automatic ampoule light inspection machine, which can solve the technical problem in the prior art that the inspection track is too narrow, making it impossible to accurately insert the rows of ampoules into the inspection track from above, thus affecting the feeding efficiency.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An auxiliary feeding device for an automatic ampoule inspection machine is provided, including an auxiliary conveyor belt and a feeding mechanism, wherein the auxiliary conveyor belt intersects perpendicularly with the entrance of the inspection track of the inspection machine; The feeding mechanism includes a support plate parallel to the inspection track, the support plate is above the auxiliary conveyor belt, and a slider baffle is connected to one end of the support plate near the inspection track. The slider baffle is flush with the inner side plate of the inspection track inlet. The feeding mechanism also includes a push plate, which is slidably connected to the slider baffle. The push plate slides back and forth in the horizontal direction relative to the slider baffle.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding mechanism also includes a motor, which is connected to the end of the support plate away from the inspection track, and the output end of the motor is rotatably connected to the support plate; the output end of the motor is connected to the push plate through a crank-slider mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the crank-slider mechanism includes a push rod, a turntable, a connecting rod, a slider, and a guide rail.

[0011] Preferably, the slider is connected between the motor and the slider baffle.

[0012] Preferably, the push plate is also fixed on the guide rail; both the slider and the slider baffle are provided with guide rail grooves that cooperate with the guide rail, and the extension line of the slider guide rail groove coincides with the guide rail groove of the slider baffle.

[0013] Preferably, baffles are installed on both sides of the top surface of the auxiliary conveyor belt.

[0014] Preferably, the baffle is connected to multiple baffle plates, and the side of the baffle plate facing away from the auxiliary conveyor belt is connected to a crossbeam, which is connected to a column.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This embodiment discloses an auxiliary feeding device for an automatic ampoule light inspection machine, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes an auxiliary conveyor belt 2, which intersects with the entrance of the inspection track 11 of the light inspection machine 1, and the two are perpendicular to each other; it also includes a feeding mechanism 3 installed in front of the auxiliary conveyor belt 2 in the feeding direction, the feeding mechanism 3 including a support plate 31, the support plate 31 being parallel to the inspection track 11, as shown. Figure 3As shown, the support plate 31 is located above the auxiliary conveyor belt 2. A slider baffle 34 is fixedly connected (using bolts) to one end of the support plate 31 near the inspection track 11. The slider baffle 34 is installed on the side of the support plate 31 facing the row of ampoules. The side of the slider baffle 34 facing the row of ampoules is flush with the inner side plate 111 of the inlet of the inspection track 11 (the inner side plate 111 is in the direction of feeding, and the outer side plate 112 is against the direction of feeding). Figure 2 As shown, the slider baffle 34 is used to block the row of ampoules on the auxiliary conveyor belt 2 so that it can be aligned with the entrance of the inspection track 11.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism 3 also includes a push plate 33, which is slidably connected to the slider baffle 34. The push plate 33 and the slider baffle 34 are horizontally slidably connected, meaning that the push plate 33 can slide back and forth in the horizontal direction relative to the slider baffle 34. It can be understood that when the entire plate of ampoules reaches the slider baffle 34 under the drive of the auxiliary conveyor belt 2, the ampoules stop moving and align with the entrance of the inspection track 11. At this time, the push plate 33 is pushed to move towards the inspection track 11, pushing the ampoules in front of the slider baffle 34 into the inspection track 11. Then, the push plate 33 is pulled to move away from the inspection track 11, allowing the entire plate of ampoules to continue to reach the slider baffle 34 under the drive of the auxiliary conveyor belt 2. Then, the push plate 33 is pushed towards the inspection track 11 again.

[0024] It should be noted that, compared to existing technologies that cannot accurately insert multiple ampoules into the inspection track from above, in this embodiment, the operator neatly places the multiple ampoules on the auxiliary conveyor belt 2, and then moves the push plate 33 back and forth relative to the slider baffle 34, thus accurately feeding the multiple ampoules into the inspection track 11, improving the efficiency and accuracy of feeding. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the auxiliary conveyor belt 2, the slider baffle 34, and the push plate 33, only one operator is needed to feed the multiple ampoules into the inspection track 11. Compared to the existing technology that requires two operators to sequentially place entire trays of multiple ampoules into the inspection track, this also reduces labor costs.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 3 also includes a motor 32. The motor 32 is fixedly connected to the end of the support plate 31 away from the inspection track 11. The output end of the motor 32 is rotatably connected to the support plate 31. The output end of the motor 32 is connected to the push plate 33 through a crank-slider mechanism, which converts the rotation of the motor 32 into the linear reciprocating movement of the push plate 33. It can be understood that by driving the push plate 33 to reciprocate through the motor 32, the labor intensity of the operator can be reduced. The operator only needs to neatly stack the ampoules on the auxiliary conveyor belt 2, and the auxiliary conveyor belt 2 will drive the ampoules to move towards the slider baffle 34. In front of the slider baffle 34, the motor 32 drives the push plate 33 to reciprocate, accurately feeding the ampoules into the inspection track 11.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the crank-slider mechanism includes a push rod 39, a turntable 38, a connecting rod 37, a slider 36, and a guide rail 35. Specifically, the crank-slider mechanism is located on the side of the support plate 31 facing the row of ampoules. The turntable 38 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 32, and the turntable 38 and the output end of the motor 32 are coaxially arranged. The surface of the turntable 38 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 37, and the other end of the connecting rod 37 is hinged to one end of the push rod 39. The push rod 39 is fixed on the guide rail 35, the guide rail 35 is slidably connected inside the slider 36, and the slider 36 is fixedly connected (by bolts) to the support plate 31. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, when the output end of the motor 32 rotates, it can drive the turntable 38 to rotate. Since the two ends of the connecting rod 37 are hinged to the turntable 38 and the push rod 39, the turntable 38 can drive the push rod 39 and the guide rail 35 to move relative to the slider 36 in the horizontal direction through the connecting rod 37.

[0027] It should be noted that the slider 36 is connected between the motor 32 and the slider baffle 34.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the guide rail 35 is a long guide rail, and the push plate 33 is also fixed on the guide rail 35. Both the slider 36 and the slider baffle 34 have guide rail grooves 341 that mate with the guide rail 35, and the extension line of the guide rail groove 341 of the slider 36 coincides with the guide rail groove 341 of the slider baffle 34. The guide rail 35 slides horizontally between the slider 36 and the slider baffle 34. It can be understood that, with the cooperation of the connecting rod 37, the turntable 38, and the push rod 39, the guide rail 35 can drive the push plate 33 to move horizontally back and forth relative to the slider baffle 34.

[0029] In this embodiment, the two ends of the connecting rod 37 can be hinged to the turntable 38 and the push rod 39 respectively via rod end spherical bearings (also known as fisheye bearings); as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the push rod 39 and the guide rail 35 are fixedly connected by bolts, which facilitates disassembly and replacement when the component is damaged.

[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, baffles 21 are installed on both sides of the top surface of the auxiliary conveyor belt 2. The baffles 21 limit the row of ampoules and restrict the row of ampoules to be parallel to the slider baffle 34 when they reach the slider baffle 34. The row of ampoules can be accurately sent into the inspection track 11 by the push plate 33.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the stop bar 21 is connected to multiple stop bar plates 25. In this embodiment, the stop bar 21 is connected to two stop bar plates 25, and the two stop bar plates 25 provide stable support for the stop bar 21. The side of the stop bar plate 25 facing away from the auxiliary conveyor belt 2 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 22, the crossbeam 22 is connected to the column 23, and the column 23 is supported on the ground.

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a horizontal crossbeam groove is opened on the column 23, and the crossbeam 22 is slidably connected in the crossbeam groove; moving the crossbeam 22 causes the baffle plate 25 to move horizontally relative to the auxiliary conveyor belt 2, thereby causing the baffle 21 to move horizontally relative to the auxiliary conveyor belt 2; it can be understood that the distance between the baffles 21 on both sides of the top surface of the auxiliary conveyor belt 2 can be adjusted to accommodate different specifications of ampoules.

[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a vertical locking groove is provided at the top of the column 23. The locking groove is connected to the crossbeam groove, and the locking groove is threadedly connected to the locking bolt 24. Tightening the locking bolt 24 will cause the top of the locking bolt 24 to press against the crossbeam 22, thereby locking the position of the crossbeam 22 and thus locking the position of the stop bar 21.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the baffle plate 25 has multiple baffle holes evenly distributed vertically, and multiple baffles 21 are inserted into these holes to limit the movement of the rows of ampoules. Figure 2 As shown, the end of the stop lever 21 facing the slider baffle 34 is flush with the outer side plate 112 of the inspection track 11 to prevent the stop lever 21 from obstructing the reciprocating movement of the push plate 33. Figure 4 As shown, supported by the column 23 and the crossbeam 22, the baffle 21 and the baffle plate 25 are suspended and supported on the top surface of the auxiliary conveyor belt 2, and will not obstruct the transmission of the auxiliary conveyor belt 2.

[0035] Understandably, the bottom of the inspection track 11 is flush with the top surface of the auxiliary conveyor belt 2, thereby ensuring that the ampoules can be pushed from the auxiliary conveyor belt 2 into the inspection track 11.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the support plate 31 is connected to the support column 311, which is connected to the ground to provide stable support for the support plate 31. In this embodiment, the support column 311 and the support plate 31 are made of steel and are connected by welding. The bottom end of the support column 311 is welded to a base plate, which has multiple through holes. Expansion bolts are installed at corresponding positions on the ground, passing through the through holes to connect the base plate to the ground.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, with the support of the support column 311, the support plate 31 and the slider baffle 34 are suspended and supported on the top surface of the auxiliary conveyor belt 2, which will not obstruct the transmission of the auxiliary conveyor belt 2.

[0038] Although the specific embodiments of the present utility model have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort based on the technical solution of the present utility model are still within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
