Spacing mechanism for novel penicillin bottle feeder

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel feeder. The bottle feeder comprises a bottle feeding conveyor belt, longitudinal partition boards, a bottle pressing mechanism, a plurality of rows of transverse spacing mechanisms and a bottle suction mechanical arm assembly. The transverse spacing mechanisms are located at the tail ends of the bottle feeding conveyor belt and is an independent mechanism which is arranged under a suction cup mechanical arm. Compared with feeders in the prior art, the bottle feeder has the following advantages that under the action of suction heads, there is no need to worry that bottles can move without being limited at a high speed during spacing; the spacing distance is controlled through buckles; bottle feeder is very accurate in spacing, is free from the influence of spacing of intervals of large sizes, is high in speed and modularized in spacing mechanism, the mechanical arm has a single action and is not responsible for bottle insertion and spacing actions; maintenance is single, a plurality of rows of bottles can be spaced simultaneously; on one hand, the occupied area of automation equipment is reduced, and on the other hand, as a result of modularization of the spacing mechanisms, the stability of the machine is improved, the overall speed of the automation equipment is increased, and the bottleneck constraint of the speed of penicillin bottle equipment in the industry is broken.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medicine bottle packaging mechanism, in particular to a novel distance dividing mechanism for a feeder for loading vials into PVC trays. Background technique [0002] At present, in the pharmaceutical packaging industry, there are two feeding methods for vial loading and packaging lines. One is single-row suction bottle feeding, which is composed of bottle feeding conveyor belts, longitudinal partitions, and single-row suction bottle manipulators. When conveyed by the conveyor belt, when the vials enter the longitudinal partition, they are automatically separated by the longitudinal partition to complete the longitudinal separation, while the vertically placed suction bottle manipulator moves to directly suck the front row of bottles, and through the longitudinal movement, it is placed downwards with the The corresponding tray is in a row of blisters on the outside, and the tray flows into the next station after completing th...

[0002] At present, in the pharmaceutical packaging industry, there are two feeding methods for vial loading and packaging lines. One is single-row suction bottle feeding, which is composed of bottle feeding conveyor belts, longitudinal partitions, and single-row suction bottle manipulators. When conveyed by the conveyor belt, when the vials enter the longitudinal partition, they are automatically separated by the longitudinal partition to complete the longitudinal separation, while the vertically placed suction bottle manipulator moves to directly suck the front row of bottles, and through the longitudinal movement, it is placed downwards with the The corresponding tray is in a row of blisters on the outside, and the tray flows into the next station after completing the outer row of bottles, and then completes the action of adding bottles to the inner row of trays through another pair of the same mechanism, but this mechanism has the following functions in use Disadvantages: First, with the development and upgrading of equipment corresponding to the connection of pharmaceutical packaging machines, the speed of pharmaceutical blister flat machines and cartoning machines is getting faster and faster. A tray needs to be filled twice to complete the work, which has seriously restricted the improvement of automation efficiency. , becoming the bottleneck of the upstream and downstream; the second is feeding twice, increasing the length of the pallet conveyor belt, increasing the instability of the connection automation, and occupying the strictly controlled production space of the pharmaceutical manufacturer

When the vials are transported through the conveyor belt, when the vials enter the longitudinal partition, they are automatically separated by the longitudinal partition to complete the longitudinal division. The plate mechanism drives the end bottle and the pressed bottle to separate a little distance, the manipulator goes down at this time, the spacer on the manipulator is inserted between the bottles, and the bottles are forcibly separated horizontally to complete the horizontal separation, and the suction cup between the spacers opens the vacuum and sucks It is added to the pallet when the bottle is running, but this mechanism also has the following disadvantages in use: First, the mechanism is only suitable for small horizontal spacing, and there is no way to open the distance horizontally for large spacing. If the vial manipulator is not aligned when going down The bottle is easy to be fragile, which will cause damage to the product, which is unacceptable to the drug manufacturer; second, after the bottle is labeled, the gap between the columns is too large and it is not easy to put it into the pallet; third, the horizontal separation is at most two rows, more row can not achieve accurate spacing
