Detailed implementation method:

[0025] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the invention will be described in detail below through specific implementation methods and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention are as follows Figures 1-5As shown, a glass bottle integrated printing system, comprising: a first conveying belt 1 for conveying glass bottles, the first conveying belt 1 is provided with a bottle arranging station 101; a bottle falling mechanism is arranged at the bottle arranging station 101 of the conveying belt, comprising a guide shell 2 with an inner cavity, the cross section of the guide shell 2 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the inner cavity forms a directional section 201 at the bottom position of the guide shell 2, the directional section 201 can be positioned and abutted with the surface side of the glass bottle, wherein one of the side walls of the guide shell 2 is arranged as a reversible driving wall 5, so that the driving wall 5 can drive the glass bottle to overturn to a bottle discharging position; a transfer conveying assembly, comprising a telescopic rod 7 rotating around a certain axis, a bottle mouth fixing part 6 arranged on the telescopic rod 7, when the glass bottle is located at the bottle discharging position, the bottle mouth fixing part 6 can be fixed on the bottle mouth, and the telescopic rod 7 can rotate to move between the bottle discharging position, a cleaning station, a detection station, a printing station and a releasing station; a cleaning mechanism 15 arranged at the cleaning station can clean the surface side of the glass bottle; a first detection mechanism, comprising a first CCD module 3 arranged downward, the first CCD module 3 is arranged at the top of the guide shell 2, so that when the glass bottle moves to be positioned and abutted with the directional section 201, the first CCD module 3 can detect the image of the mouth of the glass bottle; a second detection mechanism, comprising a second CCD module 4 arranged at the detection station; a printing mechanism 16 arranged at the printing station.

[0027] When the printing system of the application is used, the glass bottle moves to the bottle arranging station 101 on the first conveying belt 1, enters the guide shell 2, so that the glass bottle can slide to the directional section 201 and be positioned and abutted. At this time, the first CCD module 3 detects the image of the mouth of the glass bottle. Then the driving wall 5 overturns to make the glass bottle overturn with the driving wall 5 to be horizontal, at this time the bottle mouth of the glass bottle faces the outside of the guide shell 2.

[0028] The telescopic rod 7 drives the bottle mouth fixing part 6 to move to the mouth of the glass bottle, and the bottle mouth fixing part 6 fixes the bottle mouth of the glass bottle. Then the telescopic rod 7 rotates to make the glass bottle move to the cleaning station, the cleaning mechanism 15 cleans the glass bottle, the cleaned glass bottle is driven by the telescopic rod 7 to the detection station, the second detection mechanism detects the glass bottle, then the telescopic rod 7 drives the glass bottle to move to the printing station, the printing mechanism 16 performs printing operation on the surface side of the glass bottle. Finally, the telescopic rod 7 drives the glass bottle to the releasing station, the bottle mouth fixing part 6 releases the glass bottle, and the printing operation is completed.

[0029] When the first detection mechanism and / or the second detection mechanism detects that the glass bottle has defects, the telescopic rod 7 directly drives the glass bottle to the releasing station.

[0030] The technical advantages of this application are as follows: by positioning the glass bottle through the guide shell 2, the first CCD module 3 can accurately detect the image of the bottle opening, and the position of the glass bottle can be determined so that the bottle opening fixing part 6 can be accurately fixed to the bottle opening after the drive wall 5 flips the glass bottle. Moving the glass bottle by fixing it with the bottle opening fixing part 6 keeps the bottle body exposed during cleaning, inspection, and printing, making it easy to operate. At the same time, the cooperation between the guide shell 2 and the drive wall 5 can also prevent the high-center-of-gravity glass bottle from tipping over. Especially when the glass bottle on the first conveyor belt 1 tipps over, the inspection can still be completed for glass bottles with the opening facing upwards. In addition, when the glass bottle of this application is rotated by the telescopic rod 7 to work at various stations, the glass bottle is in a horizontal state, and existing common printing equipment, such as hot stamping machines, can be used directly for operation.

[0031] for Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, more specifically, the bottle neck fixing part 6 includes a base shell 8, the side wall of which is provided with air holes 9, and the fixing part further includes a silicone layer 10 covering the air holes 9. The fixing part is provided with a connection part communicating with an external air source. This arrangement allows air to be blown into the base shell 8 by an external air source after the bottle neck fixing part 6 extends into the bottle neck, causing the silicone layer 10 to expand and abut against the inner wall of the bottle neck, thus fixing the bottle neck fixing part 6 to the glass bottle. When it is necessary to release the glass bottle, negative pressure is provided by the external air source, causing the silicone layer 10 to contract, separating the bottle neck fixing part 6 from the inner wall of the glass bottle neck. At this time, the bottle neck fixing part 6 can be removed, completing the release of the glass bottle.

[0032] In alternative embodiments, the bottle neck fixing part 6 can also be configured in other forms, such as the bottle neck fixing part 6 being an elastomer with an inner cavity, the elastomer being connected to an external air source.

[0033] for Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, more specifically, the bottle-discharging station 101 is formed at the end of the first conveyor belt 1. Figure 1 As shown, by setting a bottle-discharging station 101 at the end of the first conveyor belt 1, the glass bottles can be automatically moved to the guide shell 2 on the first conveyor belt 1.

[0034] Regarding the setting of guide shell 2, in Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, more specifically, the guide shell 2 includes a guide portion having the inner cavity, the guide portion having a bottle-blocking portion 11 extending to the upper side of the first conveyor belt 1 and limiting portions 12 extending to both sides of the top of the first conveyor belt 1, wherein the height of the bottle-blocking portion 11 and the top surface of the first conveyor belt 1 is less than the height of the glass bottle, and the distance between the two limiting portions 12 is less than the height of the glass bottle.

[0035] As Figure 1 shown, by setting the bottle blocking part 11, when the first conveying belt 1 moves the glass bottle, the bottle blocking part 11 can automatically push the glass bottle, so that the mouth of the glass bottle faces away from the direction of the guide shell 2, and further ensures that the mouth of the glass bottle pushed down faces upward when the first conveying belt 1 moves the glass bottle into the guide shell 2, and further enables the bottle mouth fixing part 6 to enter the bottle mouth.

[0036] For the limiting part 12 arranged on both sides, it can guide the glass bottle to move in the direction of the mouth of the guide shell 2 after being poured, preventing the glass bottle from moving out of the first conveying belt 1.

[0038] By arranging the vibrator, it can prevent the glass bottle from being stuck in the upper shell 13 when the upper shell 13 moves downward, ensuring that the glass bottle falls normally. By arranging the upper shell 13 and the lower shell 14 as a split structure, it can reduce the vibration of the upper shell 13 transmitted to the glass bottle after the glass bottle is positioned in the lower shell 14, and further enables the first CCD module 3 to detect stably.

[0039] By arranging the avoiding opening on the upper shell 13, the height of the driving wall 5 can be matched with the height of the glass bottle to prevent the glass from falling off when the glass bottle is turned over.

Figure 1 As shown, by outwardly bending the driving wall 5, the arrangement space of the suction cup 17 can be provided to reduce the impact of the glass bottle falling on the suction cup 17, which is conducive to improving the use stability of the suction cup 17. By arranging the suction cup 17, the suction cup 17 can be negatively adsorbed to the glass bottle when the driving wall is turned over, so as to prevent the problem that multiple bottle mouth fixing parts 6 are not easy to position the glass bottle mouth due to the movement of the glass bottle during the turning over process. Moreover, the suction cup 17 can ensure that the glass bottle can be turned over. The suction cup 17 can be connected to an external air pump through an air pipe to provide negative pressure.

[0042] For the glass bottle overturning mode, it is not limited to the suction cup 17 adsorbing overturning mode, and in alternative embodiments, other forms can also be used, for example, push rods are arranged on the opposite side of the driving wall 5. Alternatively, the bottom wall of the guide shell 2 is inclined downwardly toward the driving wall 5, so that the glass bottle can be overturned and poured along with the driving wall 5 when the driving wall 5 is overturned.

[0043] For the rotation power of the driving wall 5, as a preferred, a speed reducer motor can be used to directly drive the rotation of the driving wall 5.
