Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical bottle capping, and in particular to a pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device. Background Technology
[0002] In the pharmaceutical industry, medical-grade pharmaceutical bottle caps are used to seal the mouth of medicine bottles to achieve a sealing effect. Due to the high sealing requirements of pharmaceutical bottle caps, they usually need to be screened before leaving the factory to remove unqualified pharmaceutical bottle caps and ensure the pass rate of pharmaceutical bottle caps sold.
[0003] A patent with publication number CN220049045U discloses a pharmaceutical bottle cap screening device, including an infeed conveyor belt, an outfeed conveyor belt, and a screening mechanism. The screening mechanism includes a clamping mechanism for gripping pharmaceutical bottle caps and a driving mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate that move in opposite directions. When clamping a pharmaceutical bottle cap, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate abut against both ends of the pharmaceutical bottle cap, respectively. The driving mechanism includes a translation mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The translation mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to reciprocate between the infeed conveyor belt and the outfeed conveyor belt, and the lifting mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to move up and down. Bottle caps with insufficient elasticity fall back onto the infeed conveyor belt due to deformation under pressure, and bottle caps with shorter lengths also fall back onto the infeed conveyor belt. Bottle caps with acceptable length and elasticity are gripped onto the outfeed conveyor belt, while bottle caps with unacceptable quality continue to move forward with the infeed conveyor belt, thus separating qualified and unacceptable products.
[0004] In current pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping processes, a rubber stopper is installed first, followed by an aluminum cap that is snapped onto the surface of the stopper using a folded edge. This can lead to the stopper not being fully secured, causing the stopper to warp. Consequently, the aluminum cap's folded edge and threaded locking force may be insufficient, resulting in leakage of the internal medication through the gap between the stopper and the bottle. This can lead to leakage and subsequent microbial contamination. Current detection methods rely on visual or mechanical inspection of the bottle itself, but the aluminum cap's sealing effect prevents effective visual and mechanical observation of the inside of the stopper. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the problem that existing detection methods can only be used to observe the bottle body with the naked eye or mechanically, but the plastic cap inside the medicine bottle will be blocked by the aluminum cap, making it impossible to effectively observe the inside of the aluminum cap with the naked eye or mechanically. Thus, a medicine bottle filling and capping device is provided.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device, including a pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device and a pharmaceutical product capping detection platform fixedly installed on one side surface of the pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device. A pharmaceutical bottle is slidably sleeved on the pharmaceutical product capping detection platform and the inner wall of the pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device. A motor is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the pharmaceutical product capping detection platform. A circular cavity is formed on the inner wall of the pharmaceutical product capping detection platform. The output end of the motor extends to the inner wall of the circular cavity and is fixedly connected to a rotating disk. A pharmaceutical bottle conveying groove is formed on the inner wall of the pharmaceutical product capping detection platform at one edge of the circular cavity. A sliding groove is formed on one side surface of the pharmaceutical bottle conveying groove at the junction of the circular cavity. Multiple sets of evenly distributed circular limiting grooves are formed on the outer surface of the rotating disk. The outer surface of the pharmaceutical bottle is movably sleeved on the inner wall of the circular limiting groove.
[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, a material throwing groove is provided on the inner wall of the pharmaceutical capping test station and on the other side edge of the circular cavity, and a splash-proof soft plate is fixedly connected to the top surface of the material throwing groove.
[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, a liquid reflux groove is provided on the inner wall of the pharmaceutical capping test station and at the bottom edge of the splash-proof soft plate, and a bubble detector is provided on the bottom inner wall of the circular cavity.
[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, a rectangular groove is provided on the inner wall of the circular limiting groove and inside the rotating disk, and an elastic pushing wire is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove.
[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, an overlapping placement plate is fixedly connected to one end of the elastic push wire, and the surface of the medicine bottle is movably sleeved on the inner wall of the overlapping placement plate.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface of the overlapping placement plate is movably sleeved on the bottom inner wall of the circular limiting groove, and the outer surface of the medicine bottle is movably overlapping on the inner wall of the circular cavity.
[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, a guide conveyor belt is fixedly installed on one side surface of the pharmaceutical capping test platform, and a soft baffle is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide conveyor belt.
[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, a conveying track is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the guide conveyor belt, a conveyor belt is provided on the inner side wall of the conveying track, and an anti-slip strip is fixedly connected to the outer side surface of the conveyor belt.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] The present invention discloses a medicine bottle filling and capping device. The inclined surface of the medicine bottle conveying groove allows the medicine bottle to slide and engage with the interior of the sliding groove. At this time, the rotating disk is continuously rotated by the motor, causing the medicine bottles accumulated in the sliding groove to slide into the circular limiting groove. As the rotating disk continues to rotate and the distance between the sliding groove and the rotating disk continues to decrease, the medicine bottle is squeezed and engaged with the interior of the circular limiting groove. At this time, the position of the medicine bottle is limited by the narrow gap between the circular cavity on the inner wall of the medicine capping detection table and the rotating disk.
[0016] The present invention describes a medicine bottle filling and capping device. As the rotating disc carries the medicine bottle through a circular cavity, the cleaning liquid inside the cavity gradually permeates and overflows the medicine bottle. At this time, the gas inside the medicine bottle is squeezed by the external water source and the gap between the cap and the outside, causing the gas inside the medicine bottle to seep out through the gap between the cap and the medicine bottle. At this time, a bubble detector is used to observe the tiny bubbles seeping out of the medicine bottle outlet. If bubbles are generated at the inlet of the medicine bottle, the current medicine bottle is defective and contaminated. At the same time, clean water can be used to clean the surface of the medicine bottle to reduce the residual pollutants and impurities on the surface of the medicine bottle. In addition, employees can collect and process the defective medicine bottles.
[0017] The pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device described in this utility model, after the pharmaceutical bottle is squeezed and inserted into the circular limiting groove, is continuously squeezed by the rotating disc, causing the pharmaceutical bottle to press against the overlapping placement plate and the elastic pushing wire on its surface, so that the pharmaceutical bottle is completely inside the circular limiting groove. After the pharmaceutical bottle has been cleaned and defect detected, and is moved to the entrance of the throwing chute by the rotation of the rotating disc, the surface of the pharmaceutical bottle is no longer obstructed by the pharmaceutical capping detection table. The compressed elastic pushing wire will elastically push the overlapping placement plate, thereby pushing the pharmaceutical bottle on the surface of the overlapping placement plate into the interior of the throwing chute. This achieves automatic peeling of the pharmaceutical bottle by using the elastic pushing of the elastic pushing wire, reducing the situation where the traditional hydraulic device squeezes and fixes the pharmaceutical bottle, which may cause the hydraulic device to fail to push the pharmaceutical bottle out of the circular limiting groove in time when the rotating disc passes the entrance of the throwing chute.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0027] Example
[0028] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown, this utility model discloses a pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device, including a pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device 14 and a pharmaceutical product capping detection platform 11 fixedly installed on one side surface of the pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device 14. A pharmaceutical bottle 13 is slidably sleeved on the pharmaceutical product capping detection platform 11 and the inner wall of the pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device 14. A motor 111 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the pharmaceutical product capping detection platform 11, and a circular cavity 112 is opened on the inner wall of the pharmaceutical product capping detection platform 11. The output end of the motor 111 extends... A rotating disk 113 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular cavity 112. A medicine bottle conveying groove 115 is opened on the inner wall of the medicine capping and testing platform 11 and located at one edge of the circular cavity 112. A sliding groove 116 is opened on one side surface of the medicine bottle conveying groove 115 and located at the connection of the circular cavity 112. Multiple sets of evenly distributed circular limiting grooves a1 are opened on the outer surface of the rotating disk 113. The outer surface of the medicine bottle 13 is movably sleeved on the inner wall of the circular limiting groove a1.
[0029] The medicine bottle filling and capping machine 14 is used to fill and cap medicine bottles 13, and guides medicine bottles 13 laterally into the medicine bottle conveying groove 115. At this time, the inclined surface of the medicine bottle conveying groove 115 allows the medicine bottles 13 to slide and engage with the interior of the sliding groove 116. At this time, the motor 111 continuously rotates the rotating disk 113, causing the medicine bottles 13 accumulated in the sliding groove 116 to slide into the circular limiting groove a1. As the rotating disk 113 continues to rotate and the distance between the sliding groove 116 and the rotating disk 113 continues to decrease, the medicine bottles 13 are squeezed and engaged with the interior of the circular limiting groove a1. At this time, the position of the medicine bottles 13 is limited by the narrow gap between the circular cavity 112 on the inner wall of the medicine capping detection table 11 and the rotating disk 113.
[0030] Reference Figure 4 - Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a rectangular groove a2 is provided on the inner wall of the circular limiting groove a1 and inside the rotating disk 113, and the outer surface of the medicine bottle 13 is movably connected to the inner wall of the circular cavity 112.
[0031] As the rotating disk 113 carries the medicine bottle 13 and rotates continuously inside the circular cavity 112, the cleaning solution inside the circular cavity 112 gradually permeates and overflows the medicine bottle 13. At this time, the gas inside the medicine bottle 13 is squeezed by the external water source and the gap between the cap and the outside, causing the gas inside the medicine bottle 13 to seep out through the gap between the cap and the medicine bottle 13. At this time, the bubble detector 114 observes the tiny bubbles seeping out of the medicine bottle 13. If bubbles are generated at the inlet of the medicine bottle 13, the current medicine bottle 13 is defective and contaminated. At the same time, clean water can be used to clean the surface of the medicine bottle 13 to reduce the residual pollutants and impurities on the surface of the medicine bottle 13. Meanwhile, the staff will collect and process the defective medicine bottles 13.
[0032] Reference Figure 4 - Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, an elastic pushing wire a3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove a2, and an overlapping placement plate a4 is fixedly connected to one end of the elastic pushing wire a3. The surface of the medicine bottle 13 is movably sleeved on the inner wall of the overlapping placement plate a4, and the outer surface of the overlapping placement plate a4 is movably sleeved on the bottom inner wall of the circular limiting groove a1.
[0033] After the medicine bottle 13 is squeezed into the circular limiting groove a1, and with the continuous rotation and squeezing of the rotating disk 113, the medicine bottle 13 squeezes the overlapping placement plate a4 and the elastic pushing wire a3 on the surface, so that the medicine bottle 13 is completely inside the circular limiting groove a1. After the medicine bottle 13 has completed cleaning and defect detection, and with the rotation of the rotating disk 113, the medicine bottle 13 moves to the entrance of the throwing chute 117. At this time, the surface of the medicine bottle 13 is no longer covered by the medicine capping inspection table 1. After being blocked by 1, the compressed elastic pushing wire a3 will elastically push the overlapping placement plate a4, thereby pushing the medicine bottle 13 on the surface of the overlapping placement plate a4 into the interior of the throwing chute 117. This achieves automatic peeling of the medicine bottle 13 by using the elastic pushing of the elastic pushing wire a3, reducing the situation where the traditional hydraulic device squeezes and fixes the medicine bottle 13, which would cause the hydraulic device to be unable to push the medicine bottle 13 out of the circular limiting groove a1 in time when the rotating disk 113 passes the entrance of the throwing chute 117.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a material throwing chute 117 is provided on the inner wall of the medicine capping test platform 11 and at the other edge of the circular cavity 112. A splash-proof soft plate 118 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the material throwing chute 117. A liquid return chute 119 is provided on the inner wall of the medicine capping test platform 11 and at the bottom edge of the splash-proof soft plate 118. A bubble detector 114 is provided on the bottom inner wall of the circular cavity 112.
[0035] When the elastic pushing wire a3 elastically pushes the overlapping placement plate a4, after the medicine bottle 13 is pushed into the throwing chute 117, the anti-splash soft plate 118 inside the throwing chute 117 provides elastic buffering and blocking for the splashing medicine bottle 13. This can greatly prevent the splashing medicine bottle 13 from colliding with the medicine bottle 13 in front and causing it to break. At the same time, the blocking and buffering of the anti-splash soft plate 118 can clean the excess water off the surface of the medicine bottle 13 after it is impacted, and allow the water source to flow back from the liquid return chute 119 into the circular cavity 112.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a guide conveyor belt 12 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the pharmaceutical capping test platform 11, a soft baffle 121 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide conveyor belt 12, a conveyor track 122 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the guide conveyor belt 12, a conveyor belt 123 is provided on the inner wall of the conveyor track 122, and an anti-slip soft strip 124 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 123.
[0037] When the medicine bottle 13 slides in the discharge chute 117, it will roll into the interior of the guide conveyor belt 12. At this time, the conveyor belt 123 on the inner wall of the conveyor track 122 will transport the medicine bottle 13. At the same time, the anti-slip soft strip 124 on the surface of the conveyor belt 123 will provide elastic cushioning against the impact of the medicine bottle 13. Meanwhile, the inclined surface of the anti-slip soft strip 124 will allow the guide conveyor belt 12 to be concentrated in the middle of the conveyor belt 123, so as to prevent the medicine bottle 13 from falling out during transportation.
[0038] The present invention discloses a pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device, which, in conjunction with a pharmaceutical bottle filling and capping device 14, fills and caps pharmaceutical bottles 13 and guides the pharmaceutical bottles 13 laterally into the pharmaceutical bottle conveying groove 115. At this time, the inclined surface of the pharmaceutical bottle conveying groove 115 allows the pharmaceutical bottles 13 to slide and engage with the interior of the sliding groove 116. With the motor 111 continuously rotating the rotating disk 113, the pharmaceutical bottles 13 accumulated in the sliding groove 116 slide into the circular limiting groove a1. As the rotating disk 113 continues to rotate and the distance between the sliding groove 116 and the rotating disk 113 continuously decreases, the pharmaceutical bottles 13 are squeezed and engaged with the interior of the circular limiting groove a1. At this time, the position of the pharmaceutical bottles 13 is limited by the narrow gap between the circular cavity 112 on the inner wall of the pharmaceutical capping detection table 11 and the rotating disk 113.
[0039] As the rotating disk 113 carries the medicine bottle 13 and rotates continuously inside the circular cavity 112, the cleaning solution inside the circular cavity 112 gradually permeates and overflows the medicine bottle 13. At this time, the gas inside the medicine bottle 13 will be squeezed by the external water source and the gap between the cap and the outside, causing the gas inside the medicine bottle 13 to seep out through the gap between the cap and the medicine bottle 13. At this time, the bubble detector 114 observes the tiny bubbles seeping out of the medicine bottle 13. If bubbles are generated at the inlet of the medicine bottle 13, the current medicine bottle 13 is defective and contaminated. At the same time, clean water can be used to clean the surface of the medicine bottle 13 to reduce the residual pollutants and impurities on the surface of the medicine bottle 13. Meanwhile, the staff will collect and process the defective medicine bottles 13.
[0040] After the medicine bottle 13 is squeezed into the circular limiting groove a1, and with the continuous rotation and squeezing of the rotating disk 113, the medicine bottle 13 squeezes the overlapping placement plate a4 and the elastic pushing wire a3 on the surface, so that the medicine bottle 13 is completely inside the circular limiting groove a1. After the medicine bottle 13 has completed cleaning and defect detection, and with the rotation of the rotating disk 113, the medicine bottle 13 moves to the entrance of the throwing chute 117. At this time, the surface of the medicine bottle 13 is no longer covered by the medicine capping inspection table 1. After being blocked by 1, the compressed elastic pushing wire a3 will elastically push the overlapping placement plate a4, thereby pushing the medicine bottle 13 on the surface of the overlapping placement plate a4 into the interior of the throwing chute 117. This achieves automatic peeling of the medicine bottle 13 by using the elastic pushing of the elastic pushing wire a3, reducing the situation where the traditional hydraulic device squeezes and fixes the medicine bottle 13, which would cause the hydraulic device to be unable to push the medicine bottle 13 out of the circular limiting groove a1 in time when the rotating disk 113 passes the entrance of the throwing chute 117.
[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
