Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of bottle feeding machines, specifically relating to a bottle feeding machine for pharmaceutical production lines. Background Technology

[0002] Bottle feeders are transport devices for bottled medicines on pharmaceutical production lines. When a bottle feeder is in use, the bottle is placed inside the feeder, and the turntable inside the feeder is rotated. The rotation causes the bottles above to move in a circular motion, and the outermost bottles are diverted into the corresponding feeding tracks by the corresponding baffles.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, when feeding empty bottles to the turntable of the bottle feeding machine, workers usually use wooden boards or their arms to push the bottles on the tray onto the turntable of the bottle feeding machine. This cannot ensure that a large number of bottles are pushed onto the turntable in a stable and orderly manner. Sometimes, it is even necessary to push them repeatedly. Pushing bottles from the tray to the turntable is inconvenient, the labor intensity of workers is high, and the degree of automation is low. Furthermore, since the distance between the baffles and the feeding plates is fixed, there are certain limitations when feeding bottles of different diameters, and the scope of application is small.

[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the problems of high labor intensity caused by manually pushing bottles onto the turntable and the limitations caused by conveying bottles of different diameters, this utility model proposes a bottle feeding machine for pharmaceutical production lines that is highly automated, has low labor intensity, and can adapt to the conveying of bottles of different diameters by adjusting the position of the baffle and the feeding plate. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a bottle feeding machine for pharmaceutical production lines, which features high automation, low labor intensity, and can adapt to the conveying of bottles of different diameters by adjusting the positions of the baffles and feeding plates. The specific solution is as follows: A bottle feeding machine for a pharmaceutical production line includes a housing. A circular turntable is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the housing. A drive mechanism for rotating the turntable is provided inside the housing. An outer retaining ring is provided along the circumference of the upper surface of the turntable, and a feeding platform is connected to one side of the outer retaining ring. Multiple fixed rods are spaced apart along the circumference of the outer retaining ring. The lower ends of the fixed rods are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing. An inner retaining ring is provided on the inner side of the outer retaining ring to form a conveying channel. A guide groove is fixedly connected to the outer and inner retaining rings at one end of the discharge port. A crossbar is provided directly above the turntable. Two arc-shaped material-pushing pieces are spaced apart on the crossbar by fixing components. A pushing assembly is provided on the feeding platform.

[0006] Furthermore, the pushing assembly includes a pushing cylinder, a connecting block, a pushing rod, and a pushing block. The pushing cylinder is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the feeding platform. The connecting block is detachably mounted on the end of the output shaft of the pushing cylinder. The pushing block is mounted on the feeding platform and has an arc-shaped structure facing the turntable. The pushing rod is horizontally fixedly mounted on the side of the pushing block away from the turntable and is fixedly connected to the connecting block.

[0007] Furthermore, a connecting plate is fixedly provided on the side of the feeding platform away from the turntable, and a guide cylinder is fixedly provided on the connecting plate for the push rod to move through.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a fixing screw, a fixing nut, and an adjusting nut. The crossbar has a strip-shaped through groove along its length. The fixing screw is fixedly mounted on one end of the material feeding plate. The adjusting nut is mounted on the fixing screw. The upper end of the fixing screw passes through the strip-shaped through groove and is fixed to the crossbar by the fixing nut.

[0009] Furthermore, the distance between the inner and outer retaining rings at the feed end of the conveying channel is greater than the distance at the discharge port.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper end of the inner retaining ring is provided with multiple mounting blocks spaced apart along its axial direction. Each mounting block is fixedly connected to an adjusting screw on the side of the outer retaining ring. A through hole is provided on the fixing rod corresponding to the adjusting screw, and a nut is fitted on the adjusting screw on both sides of the fixing rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a separating retaining ring is provided on the turntable between the outer retaining ring and the inner retaining ring. Multiple connecting blocks are spaced apart on the upper end of the separating retaining ring. The upper part of the connecting blocks is provided with holes through which adjusting screws can pass. Nuts are provided on the adjusting screws on both sides of the connecting blocks.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model discloses a bottle feeding machine for a pharmaceutical production line. By setting up a pushing component, the pushing cylinder can be activated to push the pushing block, which can then push the bottles uniformly towards the turntable, thereby reducing labor intensity. By adjusting the strip-shaped through groove on the crossbar, the fixing parts, the mounting block, and the adjusting screw, and adjusting the distance between the outer and inner retaining rings, it can accommodate the conveying of bottles of different diameters. As the turntable rotates, the pushing plate orderly pushes the bottles forward and passes between the outer and inner retaining rings, improving the bottle conveying efficiency.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] See Figure 1-5 A bottle feeding machine for a pharmaceutical production line includes a housing 1. A circular turntable 2 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the housing 1. A drive mechanism for rotating the turntable 2 is provided inside the housing 1. An outer retaining ring 3 is provided along the circumference of the upper surface of the turntable 2, and a feeding platform 4 is connected to one side of the outer retaining ring 3. Multiple fixing rods 5 are spaced apart along the circumference of the outer retaining ring 3. The lower ends of the fixing rods 5 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 1. The outer retaining ring 3 is detachably connected to the upper part of the fixing rods 5 by screws, and the fixing rods 5 are detachably connected to the top surface of the housing 1 by screws. An inner retaining ring 6 is provided on the inner side of the outer retaining ring 3 to form a conveying channel. A guide groove 7 is fixedly connected to the outer retaining ring 3 and the inner retaining ring 6 at one end of the discharge port. A crossbar 10 is provided directly above the turntable 2. The two ends of the crossbar 10 are connected to the top surface of the housing 1 by support rods. Two arc-shaped material-pushing pieces 11 are spaced apart on the crossbar 10 by fixing parts 8. The free ends of the material-pushing pieces 11 are made of elastic material. A pushing assembly 9 is provided on the feeding platform 4.

[0021] The feeding assembly 9 includes a pushing cylinder 901, a connecting block 902, a pushing rod 903, and a pushing block 904. The pushing cylinder 901 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the feeding platform 4. The connecting block 902 is detachably mounted on the end of the output shaft of the pushing cylinder 901. The pushing block 904 is mounted on the feeding platform 4 and has an arc-shaped structure facing the turntable 2. The pushing rod 903 is horizontally fixed on the side of the pushing block 904 away from the turntable 2 and is fixedly connected to the connecting block 902. Specifically, the pushing cylinder 901 is detachably mounted on the lower side of the feeding platform 4. When working, the pushing cylinder 901 is activated to push the connecting block 902, which in turn drives the pushing rod 903 to push the pushing block 904, thus simultaneously pushing the bottles located on the feeding platform 4 onto the turntable, saving time and effort.

[0022] A connecting plate 905 is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding platform 4 away from the turntable 2. A guide cylinder is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 905, through which the push rod 903 can move. The connection plate 905 and the guide cylinder are designed to ensure the stability of the push block 904 when it reciprocates.

[0023] The fixing component 8 includes a fixing screw 801, a fixing nut 802, and an adjusting nut. The crossbar 10 has a strip-shaped through groove 13 along its length. The fixing screw 801 is fixedly mounted on one end of the feeding plate 11, and the adjusting nut is mounted on the fixing screw 801. The upper end of the fixing screw 801 passes through the strip-shaped through groove 13 and is fixed to the crossbar 10 by the fixing nut 802. Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the end of the feeding plate 11 and the outer retaining ring 3 and the distance between the other feeding plate 11 and the end of the inner retaining ring 6, the fixing nut 802 is loosened and the fixing screw 801 is moved to adjust its position in the strip-shaped through groove 13 to achieve the adjustment of the distance, so as to meet the needs of bottles of different diameters to make circular motion as the feeding plate 11 moves the bottles it passes through.

[0024] The distance between the inner baffle ring 6 and the outer baffle ring 3 at the feed end of the conveying channel is greater than the distance at the discharge port, so that the bottle can enter the space between the outer baffle ring 3 and the inner baffle ring 6 more smoothly.

[0025] Multiple mounting blocks 14 are spaced along the axial direction on the upper end of the inner retaining ring 6. Adjusting screws 15 are fixedly connected to the side of the mounting blocks 14 near the outer retaining ring 3. A through hole is opened on the fixing rod 5 corresponding to the adjusting screw 15 so that the adjusting screw 15 can pass through. Nuts are respectively fitted on the adjusting screws 15 on both sides of the fixing rod 5. Specifically, when adjusting the distance between the outer retaining ring 3 and the inner retaining ring 6, it is only necessary to loosen the nuts on both sides of the fixing rod 5. The operation is simple and convenient so as to meet the needs of conveying bottles of different diameters.

[0026] A dividing ring 16 is provided on the turntable 2 between the outer ring 3 and the inner ring 6. Multiple dividing blocks 17 are spaced apart on the upper end of the dividing ring 16. The upper part of the dividing block 17 has a hole through which the adjusting screw 15 can pass. Nuts are provided on the adjusting screws 15 on both sides of the dividing block 17. The setting of the dividing ring 16 facilitates the improvement of the bottle conveying efficiency.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model: First, the push cylinder 901 is activated to pull the push block 904 and position it at the opening side of the feeding platform 4. Then, several bottles are placed on the feeding platform 4. Next, the push cylinder 901 is activated, and its output end pushes the connecting block 902. The connecting block 902 drives the push rod 903 to push the push block 904, thus simultaneously pushing the bottles on the feeding platform 4 onto the turntable, saving time and effort. At the same time, the drive mechanism is activated to rotate the turntable 2. The rotation of the turntable 2 moves the bottles on it. When the bottles reach the opening ends of the outer baffle ring 3 and the inner baffle ring 6, some bottles can enter the conveying channel through the material pushing barrier 11. Another group of bottles continues to move along the turntable 2. When they pass another pusher plate 11, it pushes the bottles, causing them to pass orderly along the inner side of the outer retaining ring 3. When they pass the outer retaining ring 3 and the inner retaining ring 6 side again, they are pushed into the conveying channel by the pusher plate 11 to achieve the conveying of the bottles. When the spacing needs to be adjusted due to different bottle diameters, loosening the fixing nut 802 and moving the fixing screw 801 to adjust its position in the strip groove 13 can adjust the spacing between the end of the pusher plate 11 and the outer retaining ring 3 and the spacing between the other pusher plate 11 and the end of the inner retaining ring 6. Loosening the nuts on both sides of the fixing rod 5 can adjust the spacing between the outer retaining ring 3 and the inner retaining ring 6. The operation is simple and convenient.
