Description

Sorter supply device of spuit cap

The present invention relates to a dropper cap sorting supply device, and more particularly, to a dropper cap sorting supply device that selects and aligns a plurality of caps for assembling a cap in a dropper tube by an automated process so that automatic assembly can be made will be.

In general, a dropper is a device used to suck a small amount of liquid or to drop the sucked liquid drop by drop, and the dropper is already widely used as it has been commercialized in various forms for research in laboratories or industrial sites.

Such a dropper is a dropper tube made of a glass tube that is thin at the bottom and gradually thickens as it goes up, and the lower end of the dropper tube has a small hole through and the upper end is a small pouch-shaped cap made of rubber or silicone. The liquid can be sucked by pressing, and the cap is used to drop the sucked liquid drop by drop on the desired place by pressing the cap again.

Conventionally, there was a difficulty in mass production because the assembly operation of the dropper consisting of a configuration in which the cap was assembled to the dropper tube was done manually. Since there is a difficulty that the tube cannot be continuously supplied to the automatic assembly device by arranging it in the assembly direction, the present invention is to overcome this problem and automatically select and supply the cap.
