[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of beer detection, and in particular to a detection device and method for a crown cap of a beer bottle. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of glass bottle mouths, the mouth of new bottles will gradually increase due to the wear of the mold. The difference in the outer diameter of the bottle mouth directly affects the size of the outer diameter of the cap after the capping, and also affects the capping effect. For example, for the same outer diameter of the capping, the bottle with a smaller outer diameter of the bottle mouth will have a relatively larger inner cap space and will be pressed more loosely; while the bottle with a larger outer diameter of the bottle mouth will have a relatively smaller inner cap space and will be pressed more tightly.

[0003] The existing method for evaluating the crown capping effect is generally the gauge method, that is, using a gauge with three diameters of the crown cap size lower limit, size standard value, and size upper limit to measure whether the crown cap diameter exceeds the standard upper and lower limits, so as to evaluate the crown capping effect. However, evaluating the tightness of the crown cap by the outer diameter of the back cover of the crown cap has certain limitations and cannot directly reflect the tightness of the crown cap.

It should be noted that the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The same reference numerals used throughout the drawings indicate the same or similar parts.

[0045] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, when a feature is referred to as being "fixed" or "connected" to another feature, it may be directly fixed or connected to the other feature, or it may be indirectly fixed or connected to the other feature. In addition, the descriptions of up, down, left, right, etc. used in the present invention are only relative to the relative positional relationship of the components of the present invention in the drawings.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , a detection device for a crown cap of a beer bottle, comprising a sleeve mechanism 1 and a torque wrench 2;

[0047] In one embodiment, the sleeve mechanism 1 includes a first groove 11 and a second groove 12. The first groove 11 is sleeved with the crown cap on the beer bottle 3, and the second groove 12 is for inserting the torque wrench 2. The first groove 11 is located at the bottom of the sleeve mechanism 1, and the second groove 12 is located at the top of the sleeve mechanism 1.

[0048] Since the force required to loosen the crown cap is the most direct physical quantity that reflects the tightness of the crown cap of the beer bottle 3, in order to detect the force required to loosen the crown cap, the sleeve mechanism 1 is provided with a first groove 11 specially adapted to fit the crown cap according to the appearance characteristics of the crown cap after being pressed, and the digital torque wrench 2 is used to measure the force required to loosen the bottle cap.

[0049] Among them, the beer bottle 3 to be tested is placed on a stable table, the crown cap of the beer bottle 3 to be tested is connected to the torque wrench 2 with a sleeve mechanism 1, and then the beer bottle 3 to be tested is held tightly with one hand, and the torque wrench 2 is evenly pushed in one direction with the other hand until the crown cap is loosened and displaced, and the reading of the torque wrench 2 is recorded, which is the tightness of the crown cap and the bottle mouth of the beer bottle 3. The detection device for the tightness of the crown cap of the beer bottle 3 has the characteristic of directly reflecting the tightness of the crown cap. By detecting the torque value to directly reflect the tightness of the crown cap, all quantitative effect evaluations are found, and good regularity is found, which also shows that this inspection and evaluation method is more effective, and compared with the previous gauge method, it can give a good evaluation conclusion.

[0050] In one embodiment, in order to fit the cap teeth well, the teeth 111 of the first groove 11 are designed to protrude inward according to the number, shape and size of the cap teeth of the bottle cap. Because after the beer crown cap is pressed, the maximum outer diameter of the bottle cap is located at the upper convex position that matches the bottle mouth, and the cap teeth are located in the groove at the lower part of the bottle mouth to lock the bottle cap. The circular diameter of the tooth groove position is smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the bottle cap. The bottle cap sleeve cannot be directly inserted from top to bottom in the traditional way, so the sleeve mechanism 1 is designed to be surrounded from the side by two pieces, and locked by a buckle. Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the sleeve mechanism 1 further includes a first clamp 13, a second clamp 14, a connecting structure 15 and a locking structure 16. The first clamp 13 is rotatably connected to the second clamp 14 on one side through the connecting structure 15, and the first clamp 13 is locked to the second clamp 14 on the other side through the locking structure 16. The cross-sections of the first clamp 13 and the second clamp 14 are C-shaped. The first clamp 13 and the second clamp 14 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0052] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, the first clamp 13 is provided with a first locking portion 132, the second clamp 14 is provided with a second locking portion 142, the locking structure 16 includes a rotating shaft 161, a pull rod 162 and a locking member 163, the first locking portion 132 is provided with a through hole for the rotating shaft 161 to be inserted, the pull rod 162 is provided with a rotating sleeve for sleeve the rotating shaft 161, and a screw threadedly connected with the locking member 163, the locking member 163 moves along the length direction of the screw, and the locking member 163 abuts against the side wall of the second locking portion 142. The locking structure 16 also includes a gasket 164, the gasket 164 is sleeved on the screw, and the gasket 164 is located between the locking member 163 and the side wall of the second locking portion 142. Preferably, the side wall also has a limiting groove to prevent the gasket 164 or the locking member 163 from slipping off.

[0053] When locking, the first clamp 13 and the second clamp 14 are combined, the screw crosses the first locking part 132 and the second locking part 142, the gasket 164 abuts against the side wall of the second locking part 142, and the first clamp 13 and the second clamp 14 are locked by rotating the locking piece 163 inward.

[0054] Preferably, the first clamp 13 is further provided with a third locking portion 133, the third locking portion 133 is located below the first locking portion 132, the second clamp 14 is provided with a fourth locking portion 143, the fourth locking portion 143 is located below the second locking portion 142, and the fourth locking portion 143 is provided with a through hole for inserting the rotating shaft 161. When locking, the locking structure 16 that locks the third locking portion 133 and the fourth locking portion 143 is opposite to the locking structure 16 that locks the first locking portion 132 and the second locking portion 142.

[0055] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the first groove 11 is provided with a plurality of teeth 111, and the teeth 111 are meshed with the crown cap. Preferably, the number of teeth 111 matches the number and size of the teeth of the crown cap.

[0056] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the torque wrench 2 includes a shaft body 21, which is position-limitedly connected to the second groove 12. A pressure ball 22 is provided on the shaft body 21, and a recessed portion 121 engaged with the pressure ball 22 is provided on the inner wall of the second groove 12.

[0057] Similarly, the torque wrench 2 further comprises a display screen 23, and the display screen 23 is used to display the torque value so as to evaluate the tightness of the gland.

[0058] A method for detecting a crown cap of a beer bottle, applicable to the above-mentioned detection device for the crown cap of a beer bottle, comprises the following steps:

[0059] S1: Take the beer bottle to be tested and place the sleeve mechanism at the mouth of the beer bottle to be tested;

[0060] S2: closing the first clamp and the second clamp, and locking them by the locking structure. At this time, the wine bottle to be tested is located in the first groove;

[0061] S3: inserting the torque wrench into the second groove;

[0062] S4: The user holds the beer bottle to be tested with one hand and the torque wrench with the other hand, and pushes evenly in one direction until the crown cap loosens and moves;

[0063] S5: Record the reading of the torque wrench and compare it with the preset qualified range. The reading on the display is the torque value. The preset qualified range of the torque value is 3.0Nm-4.0Nm.

[0064] In one embodiment, in step S2, after the first clamp and the second clamp are closed, the mouth of the beer bottle may slip from the first groove, fit with the first groove, or the mouth of the beer bottle may be too large, resulting in the problem that the first clamp and the second clamp cannot fit completely. If the mouth of the beer bottle slips from the first groove, it means that the mouth of the beer bottle is too small, and there will be a larger inner space in the bottle mouth after the capping, and the capping effect is relatively loose, which does not meet the requirements; if the first clamp and the second clamp cannot fit completely, it means that the mouth of the beer bottle is too large, and there will be a relatively smaller inner space in the bottle mouth after the capping, and the capping effect is relatively tight, which does not meet the requirements; when the mouth of the beer bottle fits with the first groove, it means that the mouth of the beer bottle meets the current requirements, and the detection device needs to evaluate its capping effect to compare whether it is within the range of the preset torque value.
