TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of penicillin bottle production, in particular to an automatic detection and sorting machine for penicillin bottles. BACKGROUND
[0002] A penicillin bottle is a small glass bottle, which is filled with an injection and sealed with a rubber plug, and is suitable for injection bottles and oral liquid bottles in various medical industries. The penicillin bottle is light-proof, transparent, and reduces photochemical degradation, and can observe the state inside the bottle and the capacity of the bottle. Since the penicillin bottle is packaged with a plastic packaging film, the plastic film must be removed, so the unpacking is a key part of the production line of finished injection bottles, oral liquid bottles, etc. After the penicillin bottle is unpacked, it is introduced into the hopper as a whole, and the disordered penicillin bottles need to be arranged and transported with the bottle mouths upward, so that the subsequent filling of the penicillin bottles can be facilitated.
[0003] The application with publication number CN201711454151.4 discloses a penicillin bottle sorting machine, which comprises a rack, a hopper arranged on the rack, a carding device, a bottle sorting device and a bottle pushing device arranged on the rack; the carding device is arranged downstream of the hopper, and the bottle sorting device is arranged downstream of the carding conveying groove. After the penicillin bottles in the hopper are carded by the carding device, they are conveyed in a row in the up-down direction, and then the penicillin bottles are deflected by 90° by the bottle sorting device and stand up. The sorting machine does not need to consider the orientation of the bottle mouth of the penicillin bottle, and the efficiency and success rate of the sorting are higher.
[0004] The application with publication number CN201010297319.7 discloses a penicillin bottle sorting machine, which comprises a conveying mechanism, an equal-division disc sorting mechanism and a power transmission mechanism. The conveying mechanism is composed of a conveying belt, penicillin bottles and a sensor, and the sensor is arranged above the conveying belt. The center of the equal-division disc is connected to the rotating shaft of the power transmission mechanism. The equal-division disc is characterized in that a plurality of uniformly arranged open grooves are formed in the circumferential direction of the equal-division disc, a bottle collecting track plate is inserted into the open grooves, and the bottle collecting track plate is fixed on the table together with a bottle collecting support plate. The rotating shaft drives the equal-division disc to rotate in a gap mode. The invention has a simple structure and stable operation, does not need additional lubrication, and is composed of all low-voltage electrical appliances, thereby reducing labor intensity and production cost. The invention can be widely applied to the penicillin bottle forming industry and the penicillin bottle sorting industry. The automatic sorting and tray loading of the penicillin bottles are realized, and the working efficiency of the sorting and the quality of the products are improved.
[0005] However, the above-mentioned patents still have the following problems:
[0006] The processed penicillin bottles are disordered, and need to be arranged in order with the bottle mouths upward. In the arrangement process, the disordered penicillin bottles are prone to collision, causing damage to the bottle body and economic loss, and the broken bottle residues stay on the conveying machine for a long time, causing damage to the machine.
[0007] The sorting of the waste bottles needs a large amount of manual work, and the production efficiency is low, and there are error rates and operation risks.

The kicking bottle cylinder 502 is installed on the rack through the kicking bottle cylinder support 501. One end of the kicking bottle telescopic rod 503 is placed in the kicking bottle cylinder 502, and the other end of the kicking bottle telescopic rod 503 is connected with the kicking bottle block 504, and the free end of the kicking bottle block 504 faces the bottle sliding channel 505. The bottle sliding channel 505 and the kicking bottle cylinder 502 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottle sorting channel 2.
[0078] The bottle sorting machine is provided with a bottle sorting channel 2, a sorting mechanism 3, a visual pattern detection mechanism 4 and a kicking waste bottle mechanism 5 and other conveying auxiliary mechanisms. The bottle sorting channel 2 is provided with a bottle sliding plate 206. When the finished vials are added into the bottle sorting machine, the bottle sliding plate 206 can play a buffering role to prevent the vials from being damaged due to violent collision after falling or falling out of the bottle sorting machine due to too many vials. The sorting mechanism 3 adopts two bottle blocking assemblies and two groups of sensors to uniformly and evenly arrange the vials in the bottle sorting channel, which facilitates the detection of the next process and avoids misoperation caused by too dense arrangement. The visual pattern detection mechanism 4 is provided with an industrial computer, a visual detection camera and a light source. The industrial computer receives signals returned by each sensor, analyzes data and issues instructions to control the work of each component to complete the required actions. The visual detection camera can identify defective vials through visual detection and analysis and return information to the industrial computer. The light source cooperates with the light control switch and the visual detection camera to improve the light control precision and recognition accuracy. After receiving the instruction from the central control computer, the kicking waste bottle mechanism 5 pushes the waste bottles into the bottle sliding channel, so as to automatically select the qualified vial products into the next process.

Although the finished vials from the waste bottle kicking mechanism 5 are spaced apart, the orientation of the bottle openings is not consistent. The bottle-flipping hook 604 hooks the vials with their openings facing forward. Through friction with the first bottle-flipping channel 6a, the vials' opening orientation is flipped, and they fall into the second bottle-flipping channel 6b. When a vial with its bottom facing forward is encountered, the bottle-flipping hook 604 can be pushed aside, and the vial can directly enter the second bottle-flipping channel 6b. The first bottle-pushing mechanism receives the vials conveyed from the bottle-flipping mechanism 6 and enters the material box 701. After the bottle-pushing sensor detects the signal, it transmits the signal to the central control unit. After analysis, the central control unit issues a command to control the first bottle-pushing cylinder 702 to extend the first bottle-pushing telescopic rod 703 and use the first bottle-pushing block 704 to push the vials into the bottle discharge channel 12.
