[0033] The concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention.

[0034] Implementation Method

[0035] This embodiment provides a rotation mechanism for rotating the bottle, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the rotating mechanism mainly comprises a gripping assembly 21 for gripping a bottle 6 containing liquid at a gripping station, a conveying assembly 25 for conveying the bottle 6 to the gripping station, a rotating assembly 23 disposed on the base 2, and a control device 36. The liquid in the bottle 6 in this embodiment is preferably alcoholic beverages such as white wine.

[0036] In addition, the rotating assembly 23 is connected to the grabbing assembly 21 and is used to drive the grabbing assembly 21 to rotate; the control device 36 is electrically connected to the grabbing assembly 21, the conveying assembly 25 and the rotating assembly 23.

[0037] The bottle 6 is transported to the grabbing station by the transporting assembly 25 , grabbed by the grabbing assembly 21 , and released after being rotated by the rotating assembly 23 .

[0038] From the above content, it can be seen that: through the cooperation of the grabbing component 21 and the conveying component 25, the rotation of the bottle 6 can be realized, instead of rotating the bottle 6 manually, so that the liquid in the bottle is shaken, so that the subsequent image acquisition device can better capture the impurities in the liquid, avoiding some impurities from sinking to the bottom of the bottle and not being discovered, which is beneficial to the subsequent detection of impurities in the liquid in the bottle 6.

[0039] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the rotating mechanism further includes a lifting assembly 26 disposed on the base 2 and used to fix and enable the rotating assembly 23 to drive the grabbing assembly 21 to move up and down. The lifting assembly 26 comprises a lifting cylinder 261 disposed on the base 2 and electrically connected to the control device, a lifting plate 263 connected to a lifting shaft 266 of the lifting cylinder 261, and a positioning plate 265 disposed on the lifting plate 263 and used to suspend the rotating assembly 23. The lifting cylinder 261 raises and lowers the lifting plate 263, allowing the grabbing assembly 21 and the rotating assembly 23 to rise to a predetermined position to rotate the bottle 6, thereby preventing collision with bottles 6 in front and behind and causing damage.

[0040] In addition, in order to facilitate the lifting cylinder 261 to stably lift the lifting plate 263, the lifting assembly 26 in this embodiment includes: a plurality of telescopic columns distributed in a rectangular shape, and the opposite ends of each telescopic column are respectively connected to the lifting plate 263 and the base 2.

[0041] Further preferably, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the rotating assembly 23 may be composed of a rotating motor 231 fixedly connected to the positioning plate 265 and electrically connected to the control device 36, a vertical plate 236 disposed on the lifting plate 263, and a driving block 233 having one end rotatably connected to the vertical plate 236 and the other end rotatably connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 231. Specifically, the gripping assembly 21 rotates synchronously with the driving block 233 when the rotating motor 231 rotates.

[0042] Because the opposing ends of the drive block 233 are rotatably connected and supported, the drive block 233 indirectly drives the gripping assembly 21 to rotate, reducing the pressure on the output shaft of the rotary motor 231 that directly drives the gripping assembly 21, thereby increasing the service life of the rotary motor 231. Furthermore, since the gripping assembly 21 is heavy when gripping a bottle 6 containing liquid, the support provided by the vertical plate 236 and the drive block 233 reduces the vertical pressure on the output shaft of the rotary motor 231, making it less likely to deflect. This structure also saves energy. In this embodiment, preferably, two vertical plates 236 are provided.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, in order to adjust the spatial height position and installation position of the grabbing assembly 21, the rotating assembly 23 also includes: an adjustment block 235 connected to the driving block 233 and the grabbing assembly 21 and used to adjust the position of the grabbing assembly 21, so that the position of the grabbing assembly 21 can be reasonably installed through the adjustment block 235 to meet the needs of grabbing the bottle 6.

[0044] Further preferably, the gripping assembly 21 in this embodiment can be composed of two or more gripping cylinders 212 that are sequentially connected to the rotating assembly 23 and electrically connected to the control device 36 from top to bottom, and two oppositely arranged grippers 211 connected to the gripping cylinders 212. Among them. The grippers 211 are used to close together to hold the circumferential outer wall of the bottle 6 when the bottle 6 reaches the gripping station, and can separate from each other after the bottle 6 rotates to release the bottle 6 to the gripping station. Through one or more gripping cylinders 212, the bottle 6 can be gripped and grasped from multiple positions in space, and the bottle body of the bottle 6 can be better gripped to prevent it from slipping during the rotation process and causing damage or breakage. In this embodiment, only two preferred gripping cylinders 212 are used as an example for illustration.

[0045] Further preferably, in order to meet the assembly requirements in actual applications, the clamping hand 211 has a clamping opening, and the shape of the clamping opening matches the circumferential contour of the bottle 6.

[0046] Obviously, as a preferred embodiment, the shape of the clamping opening in this embodiment is preferably any one of an arc shape and a rectangle.

[0047] Specifically, the conveying assembly 25 in this embodiment may be configured to include a conveying surface 259 for contacting and conveying the bottles 6, a driving component 251 disposed on one side of the conveying surface 259 and configured to drive the bottles 6 toward a grabbing station on the conveying surface 259, and a driving assembly 252 rotatably connected to the driving component 251 and electrically connected to a control device, thereby pushing the bottles 6 along the conveying surface 259 to the grabbing station.

[0048] In addition, it is worth mentioning that the conveying assembly 25 in this embodiment further includes: at least two monitoring sensors 257 electrically connected to the control device, for sensing the bottles 6, so as to monitor the bottles 6. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the conveying assembly 25 in this embodiment further includes: a counter 258 electrically connected to the control device, for sensing the bottles 6, so as to monitor the number of bottles 6 passing through the conveying assembly 25, so as to facilitate the statistics and processing of background data.

[0049] The control device 36 is further configured to activate the gripping assembly 21 upon receiving a slide-out signal transmitted by a monitoring sensor 257 positioned adjacent to the discharge side of the conveyor assembly 25 upon detecting a bottle 6. This allows for real-time monitoring of the bottle 6 via the monitoring sensor 257, facilitating the control device 36 to activate the gripping assembly 21 based on the signal transmitted by the monitoring sensor 257. Obviously, other sensors may also be used in this embodiment to sense the bottle 6, enabling the gripping assembly 21 to precisely grasp the bottle 6. This is not specifically limited to or elaborated upon in this embodiment.

[0050] Further preferably, the driving member 251 is a threaded rod having a threaded groove 2511. The threaded groove 2511 is used to contact the bottle 6 and allow the bottle 6 to slide at intervals on the conveying surface 259 to the grabbing station. The conveying surface 259 is a smooth panel provided at the bottom of the bottle 6.

[0051] The thread grooves 2511 in this embodiment are preferably arranged at equal intervals so that the bottles 6 can be transported to the grabbing station in an equidistant manner, thereby preventing interference with adjacent bottles when the grabbing assembly 21 grabs the bottle 6 and rotates. Furthermore, when the grabbing assembly 21 grabs the bottle 6, for example, the control device receives a clamping signal from the grabbing assembly 21 or a positioning signal from the positioning assembly 22, and controls the driving component 251 to stop conveying the bottle. This ensures that when the driving component 251 is subsequently activated, two adjacent bottles 6 can still be conveyed at equal intervals, facilitating subsequent grabbing or image detection by the grabbing assembly 21.

[0052] Further preferably, the conveying assembly 25 further includes: a frame 256 disposed on one side of the conveying surface 259 and used to fix opposite ends of the driving component 251, a driven wheel 2521 disposed at one end of the frame 256 and connected to the driving component 251, a driving wheel 2522 connected to the frame 256, and a belt 2523 sleeved on the driven wheel 2521 and the driving wheel 2522. It is worth mentioning that the conveying surface in this embodiment can also be the top surface of the conveyor belt as the conveying surface, so that the bottles 6 are conveyed through the bottom.

[0053] Further preferably, the conveying assembly 25 further includes: a limiting side plate 250 for cooperating with the driving component 251 to limit the opposite sides of the bottle 6.

[0054] Further preferably, in order to facilitate the grabbing assembly 21 to grab the material bottle 6 more accurately, the device also includes: a positioning assembly 22 arranged on opposite sides of the grabbing station, which is used to position the material bottle 6 through the positioning assembly 22 before the grabbing assembly 21 grabs the material bottle 6.

[0055] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, the positioning assembly 22 includes: drive cylinders 222 disposed on opposite sides of the gripping station, and grippers 221 connected to each drive cylinder 222 and capable of reciprocating in a direction perpendicular to the transmission direction of the bottle 6. After the gripping assembly 21 grips the bottle 6, for example, upon receiving a clamping signal from the gripper cylinder 212, the control device controls the grippers 221 in the positioning assembly 22 to return to their initial positions, allowing the gripping assembly 21 to normally grip and rotate the bottle 6.

[0056] In order to prevent the bottle 6 from being pushed beyond the range of the grabbing station by the conveying component 25, the positioning component 22 also includes: a block 223 for moving to block the bottle 6 before the bottle 6 reaches the grabbing station, and a block motor 225 arranged on one side of the conveying surface for driving the block 223 to flip in the horizontal direction and electrically connected to the control device 36; wherein, the block motor 225 is used to rotate to the open position after the grabbing component 21 releases the bottle 6, so that the bottle 6 is smoothly pushed to the next station by the next bottle 6 conveyed by the conveying component 25, for example, after being moved to the conveying device 1 cooperating with the rotating mechanism, it returns to the initial position, so that the next bottle 6 is blocked at the grabbing station, and it is not easy to cause damage between the two adjacent bottles 6, avoiding the phenomenon that the bottle 6 is unable to stop in time when being conveyed through the bottom.

[0057] In addition, in order to facilitate the conveying device 1 to smoothly convey the bottle 6 and prevent it from shaking on both sides, the conveying device 1 in this embodiment is mainly composed of a conveyor belt 11, a support frame 15 for setting the conveyor belt 11, a plurality of drive rollers 13 and / or conveying rollers rotatably arranged on the support frame 15 for driving the conveyor belt 11 to convey, a bracket 16 for suspending the support frame 15 at a certain height, a fixing part 17 for fixing the bracket 16 and the support frame 15, and a limiting component 12 arranged on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 11 and used to limit the bottle 6, so as to facilitate the conveying device 1 to receive the bottle 6 and the delivery of the bottle 6 on the conveying component 25.

[0058] It is worth mentioning that the limiting assembly 12 in this embodiment mainly comprises limiting plates 121 disposed on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 11 and a fixing assembly 122 for setting the limiting plates 121 on the support frame 15 .

[0059] Implementation Method

[0060] This embodiment also provides a device, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, it includes the rotating mechanism of the above embodiment; a detection mechanism for detecting the impurity content of the liquid in the bottle; wherein the detection mechanism has a conveying device that cooperates with the rotating mechanism, for receiving the bottle 6 from the rotating mechanism and conveying it to a preset station for detection.

[0061] From the above content, it can be seen that: through the cooperation of the grabbing component 21 and the conveying component 25 in the device, the rotation of the bottle 6 can be realized, instead of rotating the bottle 6 manually, so that the liquid in the bottle is shaken, so that the subsequent image acquisition device can better capture the impurities in the liquid, avoiding some impurities from sinking to the bottom of the bottle 6 and not being discovered, which is beneficial to the subsequent detection of impurities in the liquid in the bottle 6.

[0062] Specifically, the detection mechanism of this embodiment is mainly composed of a box body 5, a conveying device 1, an image acquisition device 35, a pushing device 39 and a control device 36.

[0063] Among them, the conveying device 1 has a conveyor belt 11 for transporting bottles 6 containing liquid, and a part of the conveying area of ​​the conveyor belt 11 passes through the interior of the box 5; the image acquisition device 35 is arranged in the box 5, and is used to capture the image of the bottles 6 located in the conveying area; the pushing device 39 is arranged on one side of the conveying area, and is used to push the bottles 6 containing impurities from the conveyor belt 11, for example, to the collection area 511; the control device 36 is communicatively connected with the conveying device 1, the image acquisition device 35 and the pushing device.

[0064] The conveyor belt 11 sequentially conveys the bottles 6 through the areas corresponding to the image acquisition device 35 and the pushing device 39 , and then passes out of the box 5 to the external collection area 511 .

[0065] From the above content, it can be seen that the conveying device 1 can convey the bottles 6 in sequence and pass through the image acquisition device 35, and based on the image acquired by the image acquisition device 35, for example, the control device uses an algorithm built into the image to determine whether the liquid in the bottle 6 contains impurities, or transmits the acquired image to an external image processing device, which analyzes and determines the image. If it is determined that the liquid in the bottle 6 contains impurities, after receiving the corresponding indication signal, the pushing device 39 is controlled to push the bottle 6 that has reached the pushing area from the conveying area to the external collection area 511.

[0066] Further preferably, the device for detecting impurities in bottled liquids further includes: a light source 33 disposed within the housing 5; wherein the light source 33 and the image acquisition device 35 are located on opposite sides of the conveying area; wherein the image acquisition device 35 includes: N cameras electrically connected to a control device 36 for acquiring images, where N is a natural number; and wherein the camera's shooting direction is set at an angle to the projection direction of the light source 33. By setting the camera's shooting direction at an angle to the projection direction of the light source 33, a stereoscopic image of the bottle 6 can be better obtained, avoiding blind spots in the image.

[0067] Further preferably, opposite ends of the box body are provided with an inlet and an outlet for the conveyor. The device further comprises: a first sensing device 3 disposed within the box body 5 and electrically connected to a control device 36. The first sensing device 3 is disposed adjacent to the inlet and, upon sensing a bottle 6, transmits a feed signal to the control device 36, causing the control device 36 to transmit a capture signal to the image capture device 35, causing the image capture device 35 to capture an image. The sensing of the bottle 6 by the first sensing device 3 enables the image capture device 35 to be activated in a targeted manner, so that it only captures images of the bottle 6 that has arrived at the conveyor area, preventing it from capturing images of multiple bottles 6 and preventing the possibility of misfeeding.

[0068] Further preferably, the device for detecting impurities in bottled liquids in this embodiment further includes: a second sensing device 38 disposed within the housing 5 and electrically connected to the control device 36; the second sensing device 38 is disposed between the image acquisition device 35 and the pushing device 39 and is configured to send a discharge signal to the control device 36 upon sensing a bottle 6. This ensures that after a bottle 6 containing impurities enters the pushing area, the pushing device 39 can push the bottle 6 containing impurities out of the conveying area.

[0069] Among them, the control device 36 is used to analyze the image and determine that the image contains impurities, and then send a pushing signal to the pushing device 39 according to the received discharge signal, so that the pushing device 39 pushes the bottle 6 out of the conveying area after receiving the pushing signal.

[0070] Further preferably, a pushing port is provided on the side of the box body 5 facing the pushing device 39; the device also includes: a collecting frame 51 arranged on the outside of the box body 5 and connected to the pushing port; wherein, the collecting frame 51 is used to receive the bottles 6 pushed out of the conveying area by the pushing device 39, so as to facilitate the staff to recover the bottles 6 containing impurities through the collecting frame 51.

[0071] In addition, an opening communicating with the outside is provided on the top of the collecting frame 51 to collect the bottles 6 containing impurities taken out by the staff.

[0072] In addition, a flexible pad 52 is laid on the inner wall of the tank body of the collection frame 51 to cushion the material bottles 6 through the flexible pad 52 to prevent the material bottles 6 from being damaged.

[0073] Further preferably, the control device 36 is also used to communicate with an external image processing device to transmit images to the image processing device, and send a pushing signal according to the indication signal sent by the image processing device; wherein the image processing device is used to send an indication signal when it determines that the image contains impurities.

[0074] Here, it is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the control device 36 is preferably a single-chip microcomputer or a communication module connected to the single-chip microcomputer, such as a gateway module, a WiFi module, a 4G module, a 5G module, etc.

[0075] Further preferably, the pushing device 39 can be composed of a pushing cylinder 391, a pushing plate 392 connected to a pushing rod 393 of the pushing cylinder 391, a fixing bracket for fixing the pushing cylinder 391, etc.

[0076] The fixed bracket can be composed of a positioning plate 56 disposed above the conveying area and connected to the inner wall of the box, a positioning member 55 connected to the positioning plate 56, and a connecting rod 58 connected at one end to the positioning member 55 and at the other end to the bottom 395 of the pushing cylinder 391. The positioning member 55 has a through hole for the push rod 393 to pass through, thereby connecting to the push plate 392. This structure allows the pushing cylinder 391 to be located in the upper space of the box 5, saving space and facilitating the installation of other components, such as the control device, within the box 5. Furthermore, this structure allows the power point of the push plate 392 to be located at the top, making it easier to push the bottle 6 compared to pushing it from below, thereby ensuring that the bottle 6 is accurately pushed to the collection frame 51.

[0077] Among them, the pushing cylinder body 393 in this embodiment is preferably a pneumatic cylinder.

[0078] In addition, as a preferred embodiment, the length of the push plate 392 in this embodiment is greater than the height of the bottle 6.

[0079] In addition, this embodiment also includes: a display screen 34 arranged on the box body 5 and electrically connected to the control device 36 and the transmission device 11, for displaying the working parameters of each device.

[0080] In addition, it should be noted that the further preferred solutions involved in the present embodiment are technical solutions that are added or improved according to actual conditions to solve corresponding technical problems. Therefore, the parts and structures involved therein are not necessary for the technical problem of how to simplify the structure of the rotating mechanism for rotating the bottle and realize the rotation of the bottle.
