Automatic identification and removal device for contaminated mineral water barrels using odor sensors

Abstract

The invention provides a contaminated mineral water barrel automatic identifying and removing device utilizing a smell sensor. The device comprises a transmission belt (20), a motor (22) which is arranged on a frame (10) and used to transmit the recycled mineral water barrels and drive the barrels to rotate in an unlimited track; a first and second stopper (30,32), which stop the mineral water barrels on the transmission belt on a smell identifying position; a smell identifying unit (40), which comprises a inhaler (42) which is inserted into the mineral barrels stopped by the first and second stopper and inhales the air in the mineral water barrels, a sensor controller (44) for judging the smell of the air inhaled by the inhaler (42), and a lifting member (46) for lifting the inhaler (42) and the sensor controller (44) relative to the mineral water barrels; and a pushing member (50), which is used to receive signals from the sensor controller (44) of the smell identifying unit (40) and push the mineral water barrels (1) so as to separate the mineral water barrels from the transmission belt (20).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to automatic identification and removal of contaminated mineral water barrels using odor sensors to improve operational safety while checking the smell of mineral water barrels transferred by a conveyor belt to identify whether they are polluted or not. device. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, the mineral water bucket used in the water purifier is recycled after use, foreign matter is removed, and the inside and outside are cleaned and reused. Mineral water bucket cleaning devices have various forms such as Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0276321 and Korean Patent Public Examination No. 10-2005-0116956. [0003] However, among the recovered mineral water barrels, there are sometimes mineral water barrels that were once used to hold other substances other than mineral water. That is, mineral water barrels used to contain various liquid substances such as diesel oil, volatile oil, wine (ethanol), ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, due to the negligence of the operator, it is difficult to pick all the contaminated mineral water barrels

That is, in the prior art, it is judged whether it is polluted or not by the operator sniffing with the nose. Therefore, not only a high degree of proficiency is required, but also according to the operator's state, attention or several types of operation states, etc. There are natural limitations in identifying subtle contamination

Therefore, occasional situations where contaminated mineral water barrels are used to fill mineral water are supplied to consumers
