Description

MÁQUINA AUTOMATIZADA PARA EL ENSAMBLE DE DISPENSADORES DE  AUTOMATED MACHINE FOR THE DISPENSER ASSEMBLY
MEDICAMENTO ORAL  ORAL MEDICATION
CAMPO DE LA INVENCIÓN FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a una máquina para el ensamble de un dispensador de medicamento oral. Específicamente a una máquina modular automatizada de alta precisión que aumente la productividad, reduzca tiempos, espacio y costos. The present invention relates to a machine for assembling an oral medication dispenser. Specifically to a high precision automated modular machine that increases productivity, reduces time, space and costs.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En la actualidad, existen diversos métodos y formas para ensamblar dispensadores de medicamento oral del tipo jeringa con o sin invertido. Este tipo de métodos son realizados generalmente de manera manual lo cual requiere una gran inversión de tiempo para tener grandes lotes de dispensadores ensamblados o de producto terminado, asimismo, este tipo de procesos o métodos de ensamblado son muy susceptibles de error humano lo cual disminuye en cierta medida la calidad del producto. Igualmente, este tipo de métodos pueden provocar la contaminación de uno o varios componentes del producto en caso de que un empleado este enfermo y esté directamente en contacto con los componentes durante el ensamblado o debido a la falta de higiene a pesar de que use su equipo de protección como son guantes, cofia, tapabocas, filipina y pantalón antiestático, etc. y por consiguiente respecto a los detalles antes mencionados se genera un alto impacto en los tiempos de operación y costos de producción, afectando totalmente la fecha compromiso de entrega acordada con los clientes. Igualmente, existen máquinas ensambladoras, sin embargo en este tipo de máquinas el producto es manipulado por un gran número de operarios para cumplir y poder llevar a cabo en tiempo y forma todos y cada uno de los procesos que son necesarios para el ensamble del dispensador de medicamento oral, lo cual al igual que en los procesos manuales hay atrasos de producción por infinidad de motivos, algunos de ellos tales como la ausencia de personal, fallas en herramentales o dispositivos y en ocasiones el mismo ambiente de trabajo. Por otra parte, también se va provocando un alto porcentaje de defectos por mala operación de los componentes del dispensador de medicamento oral, además propicia a la contaminación del dispensador de medicamento oral debido al contacto directo que tiene el operario. At present, there are various methods and ways to assemble oral medication dispensers of the syringe type with or without invert. These types of methods are generally performed manually, which requires a great investment of time to have large batches of assembled dispensers or finished product, likewise, this type of assembly processes or methods are very susceptible to human error which decreases in Some measure the quality of the product. Likewise, this type of methods can cause the contamination of one or several components of the product in case an employee is ill and is directly in contact with the components during assembly or due to lack of hygiene despite using his equipment protection such as gloves, hood, mask, philippines and antistatic pants, etc. and therefore with respect to the aforementioned details, a high impact is generated on the operating times and production costs, totally affecting the delivery commitment date agreed with the customers. Likewise, there are assembly machines, however in this type of machines the product is manipulated by a large number of operators to comply and be able to carry out in a timely manner each and every one of the processes that are necessary for the assembly of the dispenser of oral medication, which, as in manual processes, there are production delays due to many reasons, some of them such as the absence of personnel, failures in tools or devices and sometimes the same work environment. On the other hand, it is also causing a high percentage of defects due to bad operation of the components of the oral medicine dispenser, in addition it leads to contamination of the oral medicine dispenser due to the direct contact that the operator has.
De igual forma, también existen procesos de ensamblado mediante una línea de producción o ensamblado, lo cual requiere de un recinto o habitáculo de grandes proporciones debido a que en cada estación de ensamblado son utilizados dispositivos de gran volumen así como bandas sinfín para el traslado de cada componente a cada estación. Asimismo, cuando se requiere el ensamblado de dispensadores de medicamento oral sin invertido o de diferentes capacidades de volumen es necesario detener toda la producción, para modificar la línea de ensamblaje con el fin de eliminar o retirar la estación de colocación del invertido, o para cambiar los componentes de dicha línea de producción para ensamblar dispensadores de otra capacidad de volumen, lo cual genera retrasos en la entrega y una gran pérdida de tiempo y recursos entre la producción de cada dispensador de medicamento oral. Como referencia informamos que la patente Mexicana Mx 220843, se refiere a una máquina de rotación horizontal intermitente para la fabricación de jeringas a partir de una pluralidad de tubos de vidrio alimentados verticalmente, que comprende una primera sección de máquina, que gira intermitentemente hacia una pluralidad de estaciones de formado, que tiene: un bastidor de máquina estacionario; un bastidor de máquina rotatorio, que gira intermitente y horizontalmente sobre un eje vertical de medios de impulsión montados en el bastidor de máquina estacionario, hacia una pluralidad de estaciones de formado; una pluralidad de medios de sujeción de tubos de vidrio de rotación continua, cada uno montado equidistantemente alrededor de los medios de medios portadores, que giran continuamente en un eje vertical para recibir y rotatoriamente retener un tubo de vidrio vertical; una pluralidad de medios de quemador, cada uno montado estacionariamente alrededor del bastidor de máquina estacionario en una estación de formado, que proporciona un chorro de flama para abrir un extremo cerrado de un tubo de vidrio, para calentar y reblandecer un extremo inferior del tubo de vidrio, para acabar a fuego una porción de punta para aguja en el extremo inferior del tubo de vidrio y para cortar un cuerpo de jeringa del tubo de vidrio; y medios de acabado de punta giratorios montados horizontal y rotatoriamente en el bastidor de máquina estacionario en una estación formadora de punta, para formar una punta para recibir una aguja; en el extremo inferior del tubo de vidrio; y una segunda sección de máquina que gira intermitente y horizontalmente hacia una pluralidad de estaciones y que tiene: un bastidor de máquina estacionario; un bastidor de máquina rotatorio horizontal, que gira intermitente y horizontalmente sobre un eje vertical de medios impulsores montados en el bastidor de máquina estacionario, hacia una pluralidad de estaciones de formado; una pluralidad de medios sujetadores de rotación continua, cada uno montado equidistantemente alrededor del bastidor de máquina rotatorio horizontal, girando continuamente en un eje vertical para recibir y retener rotatoriamente un cuerpo de jeringa vertical y liberar un cuerpo de jeringa terminado; una pluralidad de medios quemadores, cada uno montado estacionariamente alrededor del bastidor de máquina estacionario, en una estación deformado, para calentar y reblandecer un extremo cerrado superior del cuerpo de la jeringa, abrir el extremo cerrado superior del cuerpo de la jeringa, formar una pestaña de retención plana perpendicular en un extremo superior del cuerpo de la jeringa y, acabar a fuego la pestaña de retención recién formada. Likewise, there are also assembly processes through a production or assembly line, which requires a large-scale enclosure or cabin because large volume devices are used in each assembly station as well as endless bands for the transfer of Each component to each station. Likewise, when the assembly of oral medicine dispensers without inverting or of different volume capacities is required, it is necessary to stop all production, to modify the assembly line in order to eliminate or remove the inverting placement station, or to change the components of said production line to assemble dispensers of another volume capacity, which generates delays in delivery and a great loss of time and resources between the production of each oral medication dispenser. As a reference, we inform you that the Mexican patent Mx 220843 refers to an intermittent horizontal rotation machine for the manufacture of syringes from a plurality of vertically fed glass tubes, comprising a first machine section, which rotates intermittently towards a plurality of forming stations, which has: a stationary machine frame; a rotating machine frame, which rotates intermittently and horizontally on a vertical axis of drive means mounted on the stationary machine frame, towards a plurality of forming stations; a plurality of continuous rotating glass tube clamping means, each equidistantly mounted around the means of carrier means, which rotate continuously in a vertical axis to receive and rotatably retain a vertical glass tube; a plurality of burner means, each stationary mounted around the stationary machine frame in a forming station, which provides a flame jet to open a closed end of a glass tube, to heat and soften a lower end of the tube of glass, to finish a needle tip portion at the lower end of the glass tube on fire and to cut a syringe body from the glass tube; and rotating tip finishing means mounted horizontally and rotationally on the stationary machine frame in a tip forming station, to form a tip to receive a needle; at the lower end of the glass tube; and a second machine section that rotates intermittently and horizontally towards a plurality of stations and which has: a stationary machine frame; a horizontal rotary machine frame, which rotates intermittently and horizontally on a vertical axis of drive means mounted on the stationary machine frame, towards a plurality of forming stations; a plurality of continuous rotation clamping means, each mounted equidistant around the horizontal rotary machine frame, continuously rotating in a vertical axis to rotationally receive and retain a vertical syringe body and release a finished syringe body; a plurality of burner means, each stationary mounted around the stationary machine frame, in a deformed station, to heat and soften an upper closed end of the syringe body, open the upper closed end of the syringe body, form a flange flat perpendicular retention at an upper end of the syringe body and, finish the newly formed retention flange on fire.
Una desventaja de la patente Mexicana Mx 220843, radica en la implementación de una gran cantidad de elementos necesarios para la fabricación de jeringas; asimismo, requiere de un mecanismo de calentamiento que proporciona un chorro de flama para abrir un extremo cerrado de un tubo de vidrio, para calentar y reblandecer un extremo inferior del tubo de vidrio, para acabar a fuego una porción de punta para aguja en el extremo inferior. Por lo tanto, dicha patente mexicana está enfocada a un objetivo completamente diferente al de la presente invención; asimismo, al requerir de una gran cantidad de elementos específicos, se tiene un incremento de costos y tiempos. Por lo tanto, se requiere una máquina automatizada que cubra estos inconvenientes de manera efectiva, segura y confiable. A disadvantage of the Mexican patent Mx 220843, lies in the implementation of a large number of elements necessary for the manufacture of syringes; It also requires a heating mechanism that provides a flame jet to open a closed end of a glass tube, to heat and soften a lower end of the glass tube, to finish a needle tip portion at the end of fire lower. Therefore, said Mexican patent is focused on a completely different objective from that of the present invention; also, by requiring a large number of specific elements, there is an increase in costs and times. Therefore, an automated machine is required to cover these inconveniences effectively, safely and reliably.
