Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a blister pack sorting mechanism for sorting and counting medicine blister packs. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, manual boxing is an indispensable part of the pharmaceutical packaging industry for most pharmaceutical companies. When packing boxes, workers need to fill them with the specified number of blister packs required for each package. When the required number of blister packs is 1 or 2, it does not pose much of a challenge for manual counting and filling, and the error rate is not high. However, when the number of blister packs per box increases to 5 to 10, the difficulty of manually counting and filling the blister packs increases dramatically. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sorting mechanism for sorting and counting the number of medicine blister packs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a blister pack sorting mechanism for organizing and counting the number of medicine blister packs, comprising: A frame, on which a blister pack adapted to the blister pack is vertically mounted; A blister pack conveying device is provided on the blister pack container; A medicine blister height detection device is installed on the inner wall of the medicine blister compartment. A medicine unloading device is provided at the bottom of the medicine blister pack; A control device is used to control the opening or closing of the unloading plate device based on the signal output by the blister pack height limit detection device.

[0005] Furthermore, the blister pack conveying device includes a sliding plate on the inlet side of the blister pack compartment; An acceleration belt device is provided on the skateboard; the acceleration belt device includes: Two belt shafts are arranged at the front and rear; two pulleys are arranged at intervals on the belt shafts, and the corresponding pulleys on the two belt shafts are connected by belt drive. The gap between the upper surface of the slide plate and the lower surface of the belt is adapted to the height of a medicine plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the unloading plate device includes: Two rotating shafts are provided on opposite sides of the bottom of the medicine blister pack, and semi-circular baffles are provided on the rotating shafts; the two rotating shafts are connected to the motor drive via a synchronous belt.

[0007] Furthermore, the medicine blister pack includes: four rectangular blister packs; each blister pack is fixed to the frame by an L-shaped corner bracket, the L-shaped corner bracket being provided with a long adjustment hole, and bolts passing through the long adjustment hole of the L-shaped corner bracket to connect to the frame.

[0008] Furthermore, a belt conveyor is provided below the medicine blister pack.

[0009] Furthermore, the belt output device is a synchronous belt output machine; a number of limiting plates are equally spaced on the synchronous belt, and the distance between two limiting plates is adapted to the length or width of the medicine plate.

[0010] The structure of this utility model allows the blister packs to fall into the blister pack bin after entering the acceleration belt and begin to accumulate. When the accumulation reaches the specified height (i.e., the total height of the accumulation of the required number of blister packs), the blister pack height limit detection device sends a signal to the PLC, and the bottom unloading blister pack device rotates, causing the specified number of blister packs to fall between the limit blocks on the synchronous belt, and finally be conveyed to the manual boxing area, where workers complete the boxing.

[0016] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0018] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] As shown in the figure, the blister pack sorting mechanism of this utility model for sorting and counting the number of medicine blister packs includes: The system comprises a frame 1, on which a blister pack 2 adapted to the blister packs is vertically mounted; a blister pack conveying device 3 is mounted on the blister pack; a blister pack height limit detection device is mounted on the inner wall of the blister pack, which can be a set of photoelectric switches (also known as diffuse reflection laser photoelectric switch sensors). When the blister packs accumulate to a predetermined height, the photoelectric switches are blocked, and a control signal is output; a blister pack unloading device 4 is mounted at the bottom of the blister pack; and a control device, which controls the opening or closing of the blister pack unloading device according to the signal output by the blister pack height limit detection device, such as a PLC.

[0021] The aforementioned blister pack conveying device includes a slide plate 31 provided on one side of the blister pack inlet. The slide plate can be made of metal plate, such as stainless steel plate, to facilitate the sliding of the blister pack. An acceleration belt device is provided on the skateboard; the acceleration belt device includes: Two belt shafts 32 are arranged at the front and rear; two pulleys 33 are spaced apart on the belt shafts, and the corresponding pulleys on the two belt shafts are connected by a belt 34; the belt is generally a polyurethane belt with a circular cross-section (also called a PU round belt, usually green), which generally has a rough surface and good elasticity, which is beneficial for pulling the medicine plate from the upper belt to the slide plate. One belt shaft is the drive belt shaft and is connected to the motor drive. The gap between the upper surface of the slide plate and the lower surface of the belt is adapted to the height of a medicine plate.

[0022] The speed of a typical belt conveyor is 40-50 m / min, while the speed of an accelerator belt system is 60-70 m / min. The function of the accelerator belt system is to use a relatively high speed to quickly and horizontally transport the blister pack onto the blister pack container via a slide, ensuring it lands horizontally within the container and preventing it from tilting. To prevent the blister pack from being thrown out of the container, a blister pack inlet is located on the side of the container near the slide. This inlet is flush with the upper surface of the slide, while the other sidewalls of the container are flush with the lower surface of the accelerator belt.

[0023] The unloading plate device includes: Two rotating shafts 41 are arranged on opposite sides of the bottom of the medicine blister pack, and semi-circular baffles 42 are provided on the rotating shafts; the two rotating shafts are connected to a motor drive via a synchronous belt. Figure 3 As shown, when the two semi-circular baffles face the inside of the medicine blister pack, the medicine coming down from the acceleration belt device is accumulated one by one. When the two semi-circular baffles rotate 180 degrees and face the outside of the medicine blister pack, the accumulated medicine blister packs fall onto the output belt below.

[0024] As a further improvement of this utility model, the length and width of the blister pack should be as adjustable as possible to accommodate blister packs of different sizes. As shown in the figure, the blister pack can consist of four rectangular blister plates 21, which can be made of plastic or metal. Each blister plate is fixed to the frame by an L-shaped corner bracket 22. The L-shaped corner bracket can be made of aluminum angle, iron angle, or other customized L-shaped corner brackets. The L-shaped corner bracket is provided with a long adjustment hole 23. Bolts pass through the long adjustment holes of the L-shaped corner brackets and are connected to the frame. The position of the blister plate relative to the frame is adjusted by adjusting the position of the bolts in the long adjustment holes, thereby achieving the adjustment of the blister pack.

[0025] As a further improvement of this utility model, a belt conveyor is provided below the blister pack. To prevent the blister packs from scattering when falling, the belt conveyor is a synchronous belt conveyor; several limiting plates 51 are evenly spaced on the synchronous belt 5, and the distance between two limiting plates is adapted to the length or width of the blister pack. By using a PLC to control the synchronous belt conveyor to rotate a fixed distance each time, it can be ensured that the blister packs in the blister pack fall between two adjacent limiting plates each time. The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Many other changes and modifications made without departing from the concept and scope of the present invention should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0027] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
