Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine production equipment, and in particular to an aluminum foil blister pack conveying and dispensing device with pills. Background Technology

[0002] In the pharmaceutical packaging industry, aluminum foil blister packs are commonly used to package pills for easy storage and distribution. In existing technologies, the transport of aluminum foil blister packs is typically accomplished via conveyor lines, but problems such as uneven dropping, stacking, or jamming can easily occur, affecting packaging efficiency and drug quality. Especially when aluminum foil blister packs are transferred from one conveyor line to another, gravity can cause them to fall haphazardly, making it impossible for subsequent processes to accurately separate or process them. Furthermore, traditional devices lack effective separation mechanisms, making it difficult to control the falling rhythm of the blister packs in real time during transport, leading to production line congestion or damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can ensure the neat transport and reliable packaging of aluminum foil blister packs.

[0003] To address this problem, this utility model was developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, this utility model proposes an aluminum foil blister pack conveying and packaging device with pills, which has a reasonable structure and can make the aluminum foil blister packs fall neatly and achieve controllable separation during the conveying process, thereby improving the packaging efficiency and reliability.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A blister pack conveying and dispensing device for containing pills, comprising a first conveyor line and a second conveyor line for conveying aluminum foil blister packs of traditional Chinese medicine. The first conveyor line is located above the second conveyor line. A drop tube is provided at the junction of the first and second conveyor lines to allow the aluminum foil blister packs of traditional Chinese medicine to fall neatly from the first conveyor line into the second conveyor line. A separation channel communicating with the outside is opened in the middle of the drop tube. A fixing block is provided at the location of the separation channel on the drop tube. A fixing seat is fixed on the fixing block. A rotating rod is rotatably provided on the fixing seat. A separation rod is provided on the rotating rod through a connecting device. A first separation plate and a second separation plate are provided on the separation rod. The first separation plate is located above the second separation plate. The first and second separation plates are arranged facing each other so that when the aluminum foil blister pack falls into the second conveyor line, the first separation plate can prevent the aluminum foil blister pack of traditional Chinese medicine from falling downwards. A rotating device is provided on the fixing block to drive the rotating rod to rotate.

[0006] A further improvement is made to the connecting device, which includes a connecting rod fixedly mounted at the bottom of the separating rod. The upper end of the rotating rod has a communicating channel that connects to the outside. The connecting rod passes through the communicating channel. A fixed channel is provided on the upper side of the connecting rod. A fixed sleeve is fixedly fitted on the rotating rod to enclose the connecting rod and the rotating rod. A fixed rod passes through the fixed sleeve. One end of the fixed rod can pass into the fixed channel, and the other end of the fixed rod passes out of the connecting sleeve. A pushing device is provided inside the connecting sleeve to push the fixed rod against the fixed channel.

[0007] A further improvement is that the pushing device includes a sliding block, the fixed sleeve has a sliding channel, the sliding block is slidably disposed in the sliding channel, the fixed rod is fixedly disposed on the sliding block and moves in conjunction with the sliding block, and a spring is sleeved on the fixed rod, one end of the spring resists the sliding block, and the other end of the spring resists the inner wall of the sliding channel.

[0008] A further improvement is that the rotating device includes a first synchronous pulley and a second synchronous pulley. The first synchronous pulley is sleeved on the rotating rod, a motor is mounted on the fixed block, the second synchronous pulley is mounted on the motor's shaft, and a synchronous belt is wound between the first and second synchronous pulleys.

[0009] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Neat and Controllable Conveying: Through the cooperation of the drop tube and the separating plate, the falling process of the aluminum foil blister pack from the first conveyor line to the second conveyor line is guided and buffered, ensuring that the packs are neatly arranged and avoiding stacking or jamming. The opposing arrangement of the first and second separating plates can temporarily block the packs during falling, achieving orderly separation.

[0010] 2. Stable and Adjustable Structure: The connecting device uses components such as connecting rods, fixing sleeves, and fixing rods, ensuring a secure connection between the separating rod and the rotating rod while facilitating disassembly and maintenance. It allows for the replacement of separating plates of different heights to achieve the desired separation quantity based on the aluminum foil blister pack. The spring in the pushing device provides continuous pressure, ensuring the fixing rod is locked within the fixed channel and preventing loosening.

[0011] 3. Automated operation: The rotating device drives the rotating rod to rotate through a motor, synchronous pulley and synchronous belt, thereby controlling the movement of the separating plates, realizing automated packaging and improving production efficiency.

[0012] 4. Wide applicability: This device can be widely used in various aluminum foil blister pack conveyor lines, especially suitable for the packaging of traditional Chinese medicine pills, enhancing the flexibility and reliability of the production line. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure at embodiment B of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] refer to Figure 1-3 The present invention discloses a device for conveying and dispensing aluminum foil blister packs containing pills, comprising a first conveyor line 1 and a second conveyor line 2. The first conveyor line 1 is located above the second conveyor line 2 and is used to continuously convey aluminum foil blister packs containing traditional Chinese medicine. A drop tube 3 is installed at the junction of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. The drop tube 3 is vertically arranged and its inner diameter is slightly larger than the size of the aluminum foil blister pack, ensuring that the blister packs fall neatly from the first conveyor line 1 into the second conveyor line 2 under the action of gravity. A separation channel is provided in the middle of the drop tube 3, which is connected to the outside and is used to install a separation component.

[0018] A fixing block 4 is fixed at the separation channel of the sliding tube 3. A fixing seat 5 is fixed to the fixing block 4 by bolts or welding. A rotating rod 6 is rotatably mounted on the fixing seat 5 via a bearing. The rotating rod 6 can rotate around its axis. A separation rod 7 is connected to the upper end of the rotating rod 6 via a connecting device 8. A first separation plate 9 and a second separation plate 8 are welded or bolted to the separation rod 7. The first separation plate 9 is located above the second separation plate 8, and the two are arranged facing each other (i.e., the blades are opposite in direction). When the aluminum foil plate falls from the sliding tube 3, the first separation plate 9 can temporarily block the plate and control its falling rhythm, while the second separation plate 8 assists in separation and prevents the plate from accumulating.

[0019] The connecting device 8 includes a connecting rod 11 fixed to the bottom of the separating rod 7. The upper end of the rotating rod 6 has a communicating channel into which the connecting rod 11 is inserted. A fixing channel is formed on the upper side of the connecting rod 11. A fixing sleeve 10 is fixedly fitted onto the rotating rod 6, enclosing the connecting rod 11 and the rotating rod 6. A fixing rod 12 is transversely inserted through the fixing sleeve 10, with one end inserted into the fixing channel and the other end protruding from the fixing sleeve 10. The fixing sleeve 10 has a pushing device inside to maintain the locked state of the fixing rod 12. The pushing device includes a sliding block 13. The fixing sleeve 10 has a sliding channel, and the sliding block 13 is slidably disposed in the channel. The fixing rod 12 passes through the sliding block 13 and is linked with it. A spring 93 is sleeved on the fixing rod 12. One end of the spring 93 abuts against the sliding block 13, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the sliding channel. Under the elastic force of the spring 93, the fixing rod 12 is pushed into the fixing channel, thereby locking the connecting rod 11. When it is necessary to adjust or replace the separating rod 7, pull the fixing rod 12 outward to compress the spring 93, so that the fixing rod 12 can be disengaged from the fixing channel, and then the connecting rod 11 can be removed.

[0020] The fixed block 4 is also equipped with a rotating device 10 for driving the rotating rod 6 to rotate. The rotating device 10 includes a first synchronous pulley 15 and a second synchronous pulley 16. The first synchronous pulley 15 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod 6. A motor is mounted on the fixed block 4 via a bracket, and the second synchronous pulley 16 is fixed to the motor's shaft. A synchronous belt is wound between the first synchronous pulley 15 and the second synchronous pulley 16. When the motor is started, the synchronous belt drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate periodically, thereby causing the separating rod 7 and the separating plate to swing, realizing the intermittent separation and packaging of the aluminum foil.

[0021] To facilitate replacement by staff, the connecting rod 11 is provided with a slide rail on its side, and the rotating rod 6 is provided with a slide groove that communicates with the connecting channel, so that the fixed rod 12 can be quickly and accurately inserted into the fixed channel.

[0022] In actual operation, aluminum foil blister packs are conveyed to the inlet of the drop tube 3 via the first conveyor line 1. The packs fall along the drop tube 3. By controlling the speed of the motor, the rotating rod 6 drives the separating plates to move. The first separating plate 9 and the second separating plate 8 alternately block and release the packs, ensuring that the packs fall neatly and orderly onto the second conveyor line 2 for subsequent packaging or testing processes. This device has a compact structure, a high degree of automation, and effectively improves the efficiency and reliability of conveying and packaging.
