Design and Research on Automatic Opening Device for the Medical Ampoule

Abstract

In various medical institutions, the ampoule is an essential container in daily medical operations. The automatic opening device for medical ampoule based on optimization design method and dynamics analysis is introduced in the paper. The automatic opening device can be used in the place of hospitals and clinics and fitted for different specifications of the ampoule. The necessary operational process that included nick, disinfection and break in the work of ampoule opening was integrated in the device. The work efficiency was improved greatly through the mechanisms arranged in circular. In the process of using, all ampoules kept an intermittent motion in a circulation under the control of transmission unit. The process of automatic opening will be completed in its cyclical-intermittent motion in about 30 seconds. In the research, the virtual prototype technology was used to simulate the kinematics and dynamics characteristics of the mechanical system. The feasibility of the design scheme of mechanical system was proved with the simulation analysis results. The equipment has advantages of the structure is compact, safe and reliable, easy to use. The research of the automatic opening device for the medical ampoule can be regarded as the reference of the related research.
