Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation equipment technology, and in particular to a bulk transportation equipment for glass bottles. Background Technology

[0002] Glass bottles are a very common packaging product with wide applications. They are characterized by heat resistance, good sealing, and easy cleaning. Glass products are often chosen when packaging liquids or small particles. Glass bottles are often produced in batches and transported in bulk.

[0003] Glass bottles are generally made by blowing. After the glass bottle is blown, it needs to be inspected. The inspection includes the outer and inner diameters of the bottle mouth, the diameter of the bottle body, the length of the bottle body, and whether the inner and outer surfaces of the bottle body are smooth. When inspecting the bottle body, the glass bottle needs to be in a horizontal position so that the inspection device can take pictures and analyze the images. However, if the glass bottle is placed horizontally, it is easy for it to roll, which will make the images taken by the inspection device unclear and affect the analysis results. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To ensure the accuracy of glass bottle quality inspection, this application provides a glass bottle bulk transportation device.

[0005] This application provides a bulk transport device for glass bottles, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A batch transport device for glass bottles includes a base with a feeding device on one side. The base is fixedly connected to two parallel fixing plates, and a detection device is located at the upper end of the base. Fixing plate one has several slots adapted to the bottle openings, and fixing plate two has several slots adapted to the bottle bodies and corresponding to the slots one. The axes of slots one and slot two coincide. Two sets of transmission rods are provided between fixing plates one and two. Each transmission rod set includes a rotating rod one, a rotating rod two, and a connecting rod. The rotating rod one is rotatably connected to fixing plate one. The second plate is rotatably connected to the fixed plate. The connecting rod is fixedly connected between the rotating rod and the rotating rod. The fixed plate and the fixed plate are provided with parallel feeding plates. The two ends of the feeding plate along the length direction are rotatably connected to the two connecting rods respectively. The two ends of the feeding plate along the length direction are rotatably connected to the two connecting rods respectively. The feeding plate has several grooves that fit the bottle mouth. The feeding plate has several grooves that fit the bottle body and correspond to the grooves. The axis of the grooves coincides with the axis of the grooves. The number of slots is the same as the number of grooves.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the two rotating rods rotate synchronously, the two connecting rods and the two rotating rods also rotate synchronously. The connecting rods limit the feeding plates one and two, and simultaneously drive the feeding plates one and two to rotate synchronously. The glass bottle is placed in the slots one and two, so that the glass bottle is suspended between the fixed plate one and the fixed plate. When the feeding plates one and two rotate from bottom to top, they cooperate with each other, so that the glass bottle enters the slots one and two and lifts the glass bottle upward, so that the glass bottle separates from the fixed plate one and the fixed plate two, and moves with the feeding plates one and two. The glass bottles move upwards together. When the glass bottle reaches the top, the rotating rod stops rotating, and the detection device takes a picture of it. The rotating rod continues to rotate, and the glass bottle moves downwards from top to bottom. At the same time, the glass bottle moves along the feeding direction, transporting it away from the feeding device. Feeding plates one and two sequentially convey the glass bottles to the bottom of the detection device, allowing the detection device to take individual pictures of each glass bottle. Meanwhile, grooves one and two limit the glass bottle, preventing it from rolling during detection and ensuring that the images taken by the detection device are clear, facilitating a more accurate analysis of the glass bottle's quality.

[0008] Optionally, the base is fixedly connected to a second limiting plate, and the base is slidably connected to a first limiting plate parallel to the second limiting plate. The first limiting plate has several through holes for placing the bottle mouth of the glass bottle, and the first limiting plate has several clamps for holding the bottle mouth of the glass bottle. The clamps correspond one-to-one with the through holes and are set in the through holes. The second limiting plate has several through holes adapted to the bottom of the glass bottle. The second limiting plate is rotatably connected to several rotating plates, which correspond one-to-one with the through holes and are rotatably connected in the through holes. The second limiting plate has a rotating component for driving the rotating plates to rotate synchronously.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the glass bottle is located in slot one and slot two, the limiting plate one moves towards the limiting plate two, so that the bottle mouth enters the through hole one. At the same time, the limiting plate pushes the glass bottle to move together, so that the bottom of the bottle enters the through hole two. The limiting plate one and the limiting plate two clamp the glass bottle. The rotating part drives the rotating plate to rotate, so that the glass bottle rotates together with the rotating plate. The glass bottle rotates along its own axis, which makes it easier for the detection device to take pictures of the other side of the glass bottle. The detection device can take pictures from multiple angles along the circumference of the glass bottle, so that the detection results are more comprehensive and accurate.

[0010] Optionally, the rotating component includes a plurality of rotating gears and a plurality of transmission gears, wherein the rotating gears correspond one-to-one with the rotating plate and are rotatably connected, and the transmission gears are disposed between adjacent rotating gears and mesh with the adjacent rotating gears.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when one of the rotating gears rotates, the transmission gear meshing with the rotating gear rotates in the opposite direction. The transmission gear drives the other rotating gear meshing with it to rotate, so that the rotating gears rotate in the same direction and at the same angle. In turn, all the rotating plates rotate in the same direction and at the same angle, so that all the glass bottles can rotate synchronously.

[0012] Optionally, the clamp includes a clamping plate one and a clamping plate two. Both clamping plates one and two are arc-shaped plates with their arc surfaces facing each other. Both clamping plates one and two are slidably connected to a limiting plate one. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the limiting plate one. A connecting rod one and a connecting rod two are slidably connected to the limiting plate one. Both clamping plates one and two are fixedly connected to the connecting rod one. Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw are threaded through the connecting rod one and the connecting rod two respectively and are threadedly connected to the connecting rod one and the connecting rod two.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the limiting plate 1 moves away from the limiting plate 2, the bidirectional screw rotates, causing the connecting rod 1 and the connecting rod 2 to move closer to each other, which in turn causes the clamping plate 1 and the corresponding clamping plate 2 to move closer to each other. The clamping plate 1 and the clamping plate 2 clamp the bottle mouth, so that the glass bottle moves together with the limiting plate 1. When the bottom of the bottle is disengaged from the through hole 2, the clamping plate 1 and the clamping plate 2 move away from each other, and the limiting plate 1 continues to move away from the limiting plate 2, so that the bottle mouth is disengaged from the through hole 1, which facilitates the movement of the glass bottle by the feeding plate 1 and the feeding plate 2.

[0014] Optionally, the feeding device includes an inclined feeding plate, a sliding plate one, and a sliding plate two. Both sides of the feeding plate along the width direction are fixedly connected to baffles. Sliding plates one and two are slidably connected to the feeding plate and are perpendicular to each other to the upper surface of the feeding plate. Sliding plate two is located at the end of sliding plate one away from the detection device. One of the baffles is provided with a moving part that drives sliding plates one and two to move alternately.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the glass bottle is placed in a flat position on the upper surface of the feeding plate. Both the first and second sliding plates have blocking and open states. The distance between the first and second sliding plates is adapted to the width of the glass bottle. Opening the second sliding plate allows a glass bottle to enter between the first and second sliding plates. After closing the second sliding plate, opening the first sliding plate allows the glass bottle to roll down the inclined surface into the first and second slots, thus completing the glass bottle feeding process.

[0016] Optionally, the moving component includes a drive gear, a rack one, and a rack two. The drive gear is rotatably connected to the baffle. Both rack one and rack two are slidably connected to the baffle. Rack one and rack two are parallel to each other and both mesh with the drive gear. Slide one is fixedly connected to rack one, and slide two is fixedly connected to rack two. The feed plate has a through groove one that matches slide one, and a through groove two that matches slide two.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drive gear rotates, rack one and rack two move in opposite directions, so that rack one drives slide plate one to move, and rack two drives slide plate two to move. Slide plate one and slide plate two move in opposite directions, slide plate one slides in through groove one, and slide plate two slides in through groove two, so that slide plate one and slide plate two can achieve the three states required for individual feeding of glass bottles.

[0018] Optionally, the lower end of the feed plate is provided with a horizontal plate, the width of which is less than the length of the connecting rod. The base is fixedly connected with a positioning plate one and a positioning plate two that are parallel to each other. The distance between the positioning plate one and the positioning plate two is adapted to the height of the glass bottle.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the glass bottle rolls downward along the upper surface of the feeding plate to the horizontal plate. The horizontal plate slows down the glass bottle, making it less likely for the glass bottle to rush out of the first and second slots due to excessive rolling speed. The first and second positioning plates limit the glass bottle, making it less likely for the glass bottle to fall outside the device during rolling.

[0020] Optionally, the positioning plate one is fixedly connected to a first actuating wheel, and the first actuating wheel is fixedly connected to a plurality of first actuating rods along the circumference. The positioning plate two is fixedly connected to a second actuating wheel, and the second actuating wheel is fixedly connected to a plurality of second actuating rods along the circumference. The first actuating rod and the second actuating rod correspond one-to-one, but the first actuating rod and the second actuating rod are not parallel to each other.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the first and second actuating wheels rotate synchronously, but the first and second actuating rods are not parallel to each other. When the first actuating rod touches the bottle mouth, the second actuating rod touches the bottle bottom. The first and second actuating rods cooperate with each other to actuate the glass bottle on the horizontal plate, so that the glass bottle can smoothly enter the first and second slots.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. When the two rotating rods rotate synchronously, the two connecting rods and the two rotating rods also rotate synchronously. The connecting rods limit the movement of the first and second feeding plates, and simultaneously drive the first and second feeding plates to rotate synchronously. The glass bottle is placed in the first and second slots, so that the glass bottle is suspended between the first and second fixed plates. When the first and second feeding plates rotate from bottom to top, they cooperate with each other, so that the glass bottle enters the first and second slots and lifts the glass bottle upward, separating the glass bottle from the first and second fixed plates, and moving upward together with the first and second feeding plates. As the glass bottle moves to the top, the rotating rod stops rotating, and the detection device takes a picture of it. The rotating rod continues to rotate, and the glass bottle moves from top to bottom. At the same time, the glass bottle moves along the feeding direction, transporting it away from the feeding device. Feeding plates one and two sequentially convey the glass bottle to the bottom of the detection device, allowing the detection device to take a picture of each glass bottle individually. Meanwhile, grooves one and two limit the glass bottle, preventing it from rolling during detection. This ensures that the images taken by the detection device are clear, facilitating a more accurate analysis of the glass bottle's quality.

[0024] 2. When the glass bottle is located in slot one and slot two, the limiting plate one moves towards the limiting plate two, causing the bottle mouth to enter through hole one. Simultaneously, the limiting plate pushes the glass bottle to move together, causing the bottle bottom to enter through hole two. Limiting plates one and two clamp the glass bottle. The rotating component drives the rotating plate to rotate, causing the glass bottle to rotate along with the rotating plate. This rotation of the glass bottle along its own axis facilitates the detection device to photograph the other side of the glass bottle. The detection device can take multi-angle photographs along the circumference of the glass bottle, making the detection results more comprehensive and accurate. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This application discloses a bulk transport device for glass bottles.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 A glass bottle bulk transport device includes a base 1, and a feeding device 2 is provided on one side of the base 1. The feeding device 2 can transport glass bottles to the base 1, so that the glass bottles enter the base 1 in sequence for quality inspection.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 1 is fixedly connected to a first fixed plate 11 and a second fixed plate 12 that are parallel to each other. The first fixed plate 11 has a number of slots 111 that are adapted to the bottle mouth. The second fixed plate 12 has a number of slots 121 that are adapted to the bottle body and correspond to the slots 111. For ease of explanation, in this embodiment, the number of slots 111 and slots 121 is set to three, and they are named as the first slot 111, the second slot 111 and the third slot 111 respectively along the feeding device 2. The three slots 121 are named in the same way as above.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The feeding device 2 transports glass bottles to the first slot 111 and the second slot 121 at intervals. The axis of slot 111 coincides with the axis of slot 121, meaning the depth of slot 111 is less than the depth of slot 121. This keeps the axis of the glass bottle horizontal, preventing it from sliding along its own axis when suspended between fixing plate 11 and fixing plate 12. Initially, the bottle mouth is located in the first slot 111, and the bottle bottom is located in the first slot 121. Fixing plate 11 and fixing plate 12 provide support and limit for the glass bottle.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two sets of transmission rods are provided between the first fixed plate 11 and the second fixed plate 12. The transmission rod sets include a first rotating rod 131, a second rotating rod 132 and a connecting rod 133. The second rotating rod 132 is rotatably connected to the second fixed plate 12. The second fixed plate 12 is fixedly connected to a first motor. The output shaft of the first motor is coaxially fixedly connected to one of the second rotating rods 132. The first motor can drive the second rotating rod 132 to rotate. Each second rotating rod 132 is fixedly connected to a synchronous pulley. The second fixed plate 12 is provided with a synchronous belt. Both synchronous pulleys are located in the synchronous belt and connected to the synchronous belt. Through the transmission of the synchronous belt, the two second rotating rods 132 can rotate synchronously.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Rotating rod 131 is rotatably connected to fixed plate 11, and connecting rod 133 is fixedly connected between rotating rod 131 and rotating rod 132. When rotating rod 132 rotates, it drives the corresponding connecting rod 133 to rotate together, thereby causing the corresponding rotating rod 131 to rotate. Between the fixed plate 11 and the fixed plate 2, there are parallel feeding plates 14 and 15. The two ends of the feeding plate 14 along the length direction are respectively rotatably connected to two connecting rods 133. The two ends of the feeding plate 2 15 along the length direction are respectively rotatably connected to two connecting rods 133. The connecting rods 133 rotate synchronously with the two rotating rods 131, so that the feeding plates 14 and 15 can rotate synchronously. The feeding plates 14 and 15 are located at the two ends of the connecting rods 133 along the length direction. The movement trajectory of the grooves 141 and 151 is a circle, which is called a moving circle. In this embodiment, there are three moving circles. The upper end of the moving circle is higher than the upper end of the fixed plate 11 and the fixed plate 2 12, and the lower end of the moving circle is lower than the upper end of the fixed plate 11 and the fixed plate 2 12.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3Feeding plate 14 has several grooves 141 that fit the bottle opening, and feeding plate 15 has several grooves 151 that fit the bottle body and correspond to the grooves 141. The number of slots 111 is the same as the number of grooves 141. The two intersection points of the first moving circle and the upper end of the fixed plate 11 are designated as points A and B. The two intersection points of the first moving circle and the upper end of the fixed plate 12 are designated as points C and D. Points A and C are close to the feeding device 2 (see reference). Figure 1 Setting. In the initial state, the glass bottle is located in the first slot 111 and the first slot 21, that is, the bottle mouth and the bottom of the glass bottle are located at points A and C respectively. When the two rotating rods 131 rotate, the feeding plate 14 abuts against the bottle mouth and the feeding plate 215 abuts against the bottle bottom. The rotating rods 131 continue to rotate, so that the bottle mouth enters the groove 141 and the bottle bottom enters the groove 2151. The feeding plates 14 and 215 continue to move along the first moving circle, so that the glass bottle moves with the feeding plates 14 and 215.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the glass bottle moves to the highest point of the first moving circle, the glass bottle and the detection device 3 (refer to) Figure 1 The distance between them is the smallest. The detection device 3 is set with multiple shooting positions along the length of the fixed plate 11. The shooting positions are corresponding to the moving circle and are set directly above the highest point of the moving circle. When the glass bottle is at the highest point of the first moving circle, the detection device 3 takes a picture of it. At this time, the groove 141 and the groove 2151 limit the glass bottle. At the same time, the rotating rod 131 stops rotating, so that the glass bottle is in a stationary state, which makes it easy for the detection device 3 to take a precise picture of it.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Detection device 3 (refer to) Figure 1 After the shot is taken, the rotating rod 131 continues to move, and the glass bottle moves with the feeding plate 14 and feeding plate 2 15. The glass bottle moves along the first moving circle to points B and D. The bottle mouth enters the second slot 111 and the second slot 2 121. The fixing plate 11 and the fixing plate 2 12 abut against the glass bottle. When the feeding plate 14 and the feeding plate 2 15 continue to move along the first moving circle, the glass bottle separates from the feeding plate 14 and the feeding plate 2 15, so that the glass bottle remains in the second slot 111 and the second slot 2 121. At this time, the glass bottle completes the transfer from the first slot 111 to the second slot 111.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The base 1 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 2 5, and the base 1 is slidably connected to a limiting plate 1 4 parallel to the limiting plate 2 5. The base 1 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod, and the base 1 is fixedly connected to a limiting rod. The threaded rod passes through the limiting plate 1 4 and is threadedly connected to the limiting plate 1 4. When the threaded rod rotates, it can move the limiting plate 1 4 away from or closer to the limiting plate 2 5. At this time, the glass bottles are suspended between the fixing plate 1 11 and the fixing plate 2 12. The rotation of the threaded rod causes the limiting plate 1 4 to move closer to the limiting plate 2 5. The limiting plate 1 4 has several through holes 1 41 for placing the bottle mouths. The bottle mouths enter the through holes 1 41, and the limiting plate 1 4 continues to move, pushing the glass bottles towards the limiting plate 2 5.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second limiting plate 5 has several through holes 51 that fit the bottom of the glass bottle. The first limiting plate 4 pushes the glass bottle to move so that the bottom of the glass bottle enters the through hole 51. The second limiting plate 5 is rotatably connected to several rotating plates 52. The rotating plates 52 correspond one-to-one with the through holes 51 and are rotatably connected to the through holes 51. The bottom of the glass bottle abuts against the rotating plates 52. At this time, the first limiting plate 4 and the second limiting plate 5 cooperate to clamp the two ends of the glass bottle along its own length. The second limiting plate 5 is provided with a rotating component 53 for driving the rotating plates 52 to rotate synchronously. The rotating component 53 drives the rotating plates 52 to rotate synchronously, so that the three glass bottles clamped by the first limiting plate 4 and the second limiting plate 5 rotate together with the rotating plates 52, rotating the glass bottles along their own axis at a certain angle.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotating component 53 includes several rotating gears 531 and several transmission gears 532. The rotating gears 531 correspond one-to-one with the rotating plate 52 and are rotatably connected. One of the rotating gears 531 is connected to a second motor. The output shaft of the second motor is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating gear 531. The second motor drives the rotating gear 531 to rotate. The transmission gears 532 are arranged between adjacent rotating gears 531 and mesh with the adjacent rotating gears 531. When the second motor drives the rotating gear 531 to rotate, the transmission gear 532 and the rotating gear 531 rotate in opposite directions, so that the other rotating gear 531 meshed with the transmission gear 532 rotates in the opposite direction to the transmission gear 532, so that all the rotating gears 531 rotate in the same direction and at the same angle, realizing the synchronous rotation of the rotating plate 52.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4After the rotating component 53 drives the glass bottle to complete its rotation, the threaded rod rotates in the opposite direction, causing the limiting plate 1 4 to move away from the limiting plate 2 5. The limiting plate 1 4 is provided with several clamps 42 for holding the bottle mouth. The clamps 42 correspond one-to-one with the through hole 1 41 and are set in the through hole 1 41. Before the limiting plate 1 4 moves, the clamps 42 clamp the bottle mouth, so that the glass bottle moves away from the limiting plate 2 5 together with the limiting plate 1 4. When the bottom of the glass bottle disengages from the through hole 2 51 (refer to...), Figure 3 When the clamp 42 releases the bottle opening, the limiting plate 4 continues to move away from the limiting plate 5, causing the bottle opening to disengage from the through hole 41. At this time, the glass bottle is still held in place by the fixing plate 11 and the fixing plate 12 (see reference). Figure 3 (Provide support)

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The clamp 42 includes clamping plate 421 and clamping plate 422, both of which are arc-shaped plates with their arc surfaces facing each other. Both clamping plates 421 and 422 are slidably connected to limiting plate 4. When clamping plates 421 and 422 approach each other, they clamp the mouth of the glass bottle; when they move away from each other, the clamp 42 does not clamp the mouth of the glass bottle. Limiting plate 4 is slidably connected to connecting rod 424 and connecting rod 425. Clamping plates 421 are all fixedly connected to connecting rod 424, and clamping plates 422 are all fixedly connected to connecting rod 425. When connecting rod 424 and 425 move away from or approach each other, they cause all clamping plates 421 and 422 to move together.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The limiting plate 4 is rotatably connected to a bidirectional lead screw 423, and the limiting plate 4 is fixedly connected to a motor 3. The output shaft of the motor 3 is coaxially fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 423. The motor 3 drives the bidirectional lead screw 423 to rotate. The two ends of the bidirectional lead screw 423 are respectively threaded through the connecting rod 424 and the connecting rod 425 and threadedly connected to the connecting rod 424 and the connecting rod 425. When the bidirectional lead screw 423 rotates, the connecting rod 424 and the connecting rod 425 move away from each other or move closer to each other, so that all the clamps 42 clamp or release together.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3After the rotating component 53 rotates, the glass bottle located in the second slot 111 and the second slot 121 rotates, causing the other side of the glass bottle to rotate upwards. The rotating rod 131 continues to rotate, at which point the second groove 141 and the second groove 151 come into contact with the glass bottle, causing the glass bottle to continue moving upwards, so that the glass bottle moves along the second moving circle. When the glass bottle is at the top of the second moving circle, the detection device 3 (refer to...) Figure 1 The second camera position takes a picture of the glass bottle at this time. Then the rotating rod 131 continues to rotate, and the glass bottle enters the third slot 111 and the third slot 2121.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 After the rotating component 53 rotates the glass bottle a second time, the glass bottle moves along the third moving circle, and the third camera position of the detection device 3 takes a picture of it. The glass bottle continues to move along the third moving circle. The end of the base 1 away from the feeding device 2 is equipped with a discharge plate. The glass bottle moves along the third moving circle to the discharge plate and enters the next process. The feeding plates 14 and 15 and the rotating component 53 cooperate with each other to allow the detection device 3 to take pictures of different sides of the glass bottle. The operator can adjust the rotation angle of the glass bottle by adjusting the rotating component 53 to meet different detection needs, so that the image coverage of the detection device 3 is wider and the detection of the glass bottle is more comprehensive and accurate.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The feeding device 2 includes an inclined feeding plate 21, a first sliding plate 22, and a second sliding plate 23. Baffles 25 are fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding plate 21 along its width. The distance between the two baffles 25 is adapted to the length of the glass bottle. The two baffles 25 can limit the movement of the glass bottle, preventing it from rolling off or shifting when moving along the feeding plate 21. Both the first sliding plate 22 and the second sliding plate 23 are slidably connected to the feeding plate 21 and are perpendicular to the upper surface of the feeding plate 21. The second sliding plate 23 is located at the end of the first sliding plate 22 furthest from the detection device 3. Both the first sliding plate 22 and the second sliding plate 23 have a blocking state and an open state, giving them three working states.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5Initially, slide plate 1 22 is in a blocking state, while slide plate 23 is in an open state. At this time, the glass bottles are in contact with each other and, under the action of gravity, in contact with slide plate 1 22. The distance between slide plate 1 22 and slide plate 23 is adapted to the diameter of the bottle body. This is the first state. One of the baffles 25 is equipped with a moving part 24 that drives slide plate 1 22 and slide plate 23 to move alternately. At this time, the moving part 24 drives slide plate 1 22 and slide plate 23 to move, so that slide plate 1 22 is still in a blocking state. At this time, slide plate 23 switches to a blocking state, isolating the glass bottle in contact with slide plate 1 22 between slide plate 1 22 and slide plate 23. This is the second state. The moving part 24 continues to work, so that slide plate 23 remains in a blocking state, slide plate 1 22 switches to an open state, and the glass bottle slides down and rolls to the upper end of fixed plate 1 11 and fixed plate 2 12, completing the feeding of a single glass bottle.

[0051] Reference Figure 5 The moving part 24 includes a drive gear 241, a rack 242, and a rack 243. The drive gear 241 is rotatably connected to the baffle 25. Both racks 242 and 243 are slidably connected to the baffle 25. Racks 242 and 243 are parallel to each other and mesh with the drive gear 241. The teeth of racks 242 and 243 are arranged opposite to each other, so that when the drive gear 241 rotates, racks 242 and 243 move in opposite directions at equal distances. Slide 22 is fixedly connected to rack 242, and slide 23 is fixedly connected to rack 243, so that when the drive gear 241 rotates, slides 22 and 23 move in opposite directions at equal distances.

[0052] Reference Figure 5 The feed plate 21 has a through groove 244 that matches the sliding plate 22, and a through groove 245 that matches the sliding plate 23. In the first state, the sliding plate 22 is located in the through groove 244, while the sliding plate 23 is located above the feed plate 21, and the distance between the sliding plate 23 and the feed plate 21 is greater than the diameter of the glass bottle. When the drive gear 241 rotates, the sliding plate 23 moves towards the feed plate 21, causing the sliding plate 23 to enter the through groove 245. At this time, the sliding plate 22 moves in the opposite direction, but the sliding plate 22... The slide plate 22 and slide plate 23 are in the second state at this time, without disengaging from the first channel 244. The drive gear 241 continues to move, causing slide plate 22 to move away from the feed plate 21. Slide plate 22 disengages from the first channel and the distance between slide plate 22 and the feed plate 21 is greater than the diameter of the glass bottle. Slide plate 23 moves towards the feed plate 21, but the upper end of slide plate 23 does not enter the second channel 245. At this time, slide plate 22 and slide plate 23 are in the third state, realizing that slide plate 22 and slide plate 23 cooperate with each other to feed the material.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 A horizontal plate 26 is provided at the lower end of the feed plate 21. The horizontal plate 26 is smoothly connected to the feed plate 21. After the glass bottle rolls down along the feed plate 21, it moves along the upper surface of the horizontal plate 26. The horizontal plate 26 acts as a buffer, reducing the rolling speed of the glass bottle, so that the glass bottle can smoothly enter the first slot 111 and the first slot 121 (see reference). Figure 3 In this structure, the width of the horizontal plate 26 is less than the length of the connecting rod 133, making it less likely for the first feeding plate 14 and the second feeding plate 15 to collide with the horizontal plate 26 during movement. The base 1 is fixedly connected with a first positioning plate 27 and a second positioning plate 28 that are parallel to each other. The distance between the first positioning plate 27 and the second positioning plate 28 is adapted to the height of the glass bottle. The first positioning plate 27 and the second positioning plate 28 limit the glass bottle, making it less likely for the glass bottle to deviate or roll off when it rolls on the horizontal plate 26.

[0054] Reference Figure 5 Positioning plate 27 is fixedly connected to a rotary wheel 271, and rotary wheel 271 is fixedly connected to several rotary rods 272 along the circumference. When the glass bottle rolls on the horizontal plate 26, the bottle mouth abuts against one of the rotary rods 272. At this time, rotary wheel 271 rotates, so that the bottle mouth is located between two adjacent rotary rods 272. Positioning plate 28 is fixedly connected to a rotary wheel 281, and rotary wheel 281 is fixedly connected to several rotary rods 282 along the circumference. Rotation of rotary wheel 281 and rotary wheel 271 together makes the bottom of the glass bottle located between two adjacent rotary rods 282.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The first actuating lever 272 and the second actuating lever 282 correspond one-to-one, but they are not parallel. When the bottle mouth is between two adjacent actuating levers 272 and the bottle bottom is between two adjacent actuating levers 282, the actuating lever 272 closer to the feeding device 2 of the adjacent actuating levers 272 abuts against the bottle mouth, and the actuating lever 282 closer to the feeding device 2 of the adjacent actuating lever 282 abuts against the bottle bottom. The first actuating wheel 271 and the second actuating wheel 281 rotate simultaneously, causing the actuating levers 272 and the second actuating lever 282 to simultaneously actuate the glass bottle. When the bottle mouth and the bottle bottom are simultaneously actuated, the glass bottle remains perpendicular to the fixed plate 11 and moves towards the detection device 3 (refer to the reference). Figure 1 Rolling in the direction of ) helps ensure the smooth rolling of the glass bottle, allowing it to move to the first slot 111 and the first slot 2 121 (refer to Figure 3In the process of feeding the glass bottle, the detection device 3 can continuously detect the glass bottle.

[0056] The implementation principle of a batch glass bottle transportation device according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the feeding device 2 transports a batch of glass bottles sequentially, separating adjacent glass bottles so that they do not obstruct each other, so that the imaging of the detection device 3 is not affected by other glass bottles. The cooperation of the fixing plate 11, fixing plate 2 12, feeding plate 14, and feeding plate 2 15 realizes the sequential transportation of glass bottles. When the detection device 3 is imaging the glass bottles, it limits the glass bottles so that they are not easy to roll, ensuring the clarity of the image. The rotating part 53 rotates the glass bottles, so that the detection device 3 can take pictures of the glass bottles from different angles around the circumference, resulting in more comprehensive image coverage and more accurate quality inspection of the glass bottles.

[0057] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
