Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of testing equipment, and in particular to an apple cider vinegar filling inspection device and method. Background Art

[0002] Apple cider vinegar refers to a drink made from fermented apple juice and then mixed with apple juice and other ingredients. It is not a condiment in the kitchen. The original apple cider vinegar mixed with apple juice makes the taste sweet and sour, which not only eliminates the raw vinegar taste of the original vinegar, but also has the sweet fragrance of juice. Filling generally refers to the process of putting liquid or other substances into a container. Filling can be used for a variety of products, including beverages, foods, chemicals and medicines. During the filling process, if the bottle cap is not properly sealed, it may cause gas to leak or enter the bottle, affecting the pressure in the bottle and causing the bottle cap to deform. In addition, if the temperature changes after filling, it may also cause the gas in the bottle to expand, thereby generating additional pressure and causing the bottle cap to bulge.

[0003] If the liquid is not tightly sealed after filling, it will affect the quality of products with oxidation and volatility characteristics. For example, if the apple cider vinegar bottle cap is not tightly sealed after filling, it will easily lead to oxidation of the apple cider vinegar, affecting its shelf life. On the other hand, it will cause gas leakage in the bottle or external gas to enter the bottle, and the pressure in the bottle will change, causing the bottle cap to deform. When it is opened later, it may cause liquid to spray out or other safety hazards. So nowadays, liquid products usually undergo various quality inspections after filling.

[0004] For example, in the existing Chinese patent with publication number CN219573421U, an air tightness detection device for the production of honeysuckle dew is disclosed. Through the above prior art, when the touch sensor contacts the bottle cap, the corresponding alarm light will flash, indicating that the corresponding bottle cap is bulging, and there is a situation that the bottle cap is not tightly sealed after filling, so that it can quickly detect whether the bottle cap is bulging and leaking.

[0005] However, the above prior art has the following technical defects:

[0006] When the above-mentioned prior art is used, the filled bottles are first placed in multiple placement slots in sequence, and the electric telescopic rod drives the placement plate to move toward the inside of the detection slot. Under the operation of the motor, the U-shaped transmission plate can drive the supporting horizontal plate to move downward, so that multiple touch sensors move downward as a whole. When a touch sensor contacts the bottle cap, the corresponding alarm light will flash, indicating that the corresponding bottle cap protrusion has a leak. Before the test, the staff needs to put the filled bottles into multiple placement slots one by one, and then take out the bottles in the placement slots in sequence after the test is completed, and pay attention to distinguish the bottles with flashing alarm lights and protruding bottle caps. The whole process requires staff to control the operation on the side, and the degree of automation is low; when the number of bottles that need to be tested is large, the staff needs to constantly perform repetitive work, which increases labor costs.

[0007] Secondly, beverages or other liquid products are usually filled on an assembly line, and a large number of bottles are filled. When the filled bottles are inspected by the above-mentioned device, it is necessary to manually remove the bottles on the production line and place them one by one into the placement slots opened on the placement plate. After the inspection is completed, the bottles are taken out of the placement slots one by one, and this process is repeated. The whole process takes a lot of time to take the bottles, resulting in low actual inspection efficiency, and is not suitable for continuous production filling production lines.

[0008] Based on this, on the basis of the existing air tightness detection device for honeysuckle dew production, in order to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects, there is still room for improvement. Summary of the invention

[0047] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 15 This application is described in further detail.

[0048] The embodiment of the present application discloses an apple cider vinegar filling inspection device and method, which can be applied to a filling production line to perform quality inspection on bottles after filling and capping on the production line, and can automatically mark bottles with bulging caps and quality problems that are inspected to facilitate identification by staff.

[0049] Embodiment 1:

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the first aspect, the present application provides an apple cider vinegar filling inspection device, including two mounting platforms 1 symmetrically mounted on a conveying device, and the conveying device is a device similar to a conveyor belt for conveying filled bottles on a filling production line. A bottom support plate 11 is connected and installed between the two mounting platforms 1, and an assembly rod seat 12 is provided on one side of the mounting platform 1. The two mounting platforms 1, the bottom support plate 11 and the assembly rod seat 12 are fixedly connected. An inspection device 2 is provided on the assembly rod seat 12; the mounting platform 1 is installed on the conveying device of the production line, so that the bottles filled with apple cider vinegar and capped can pass through the two mounting platforms 1 under the conveyance of the conveying device. The inspection device 2 can automatically detect the protrusions of the bottle caps of the filled bottles one by one, and when the protrusions are detected on the bottle caps, they can be quickly marked to facilitate the staff to quickly identify the bottles with quality problems after the filled bottles leave the production line.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the inspection device 2 includes a main cross bar 22 that is limited and slidably arranged on the assembly rod seat 12 through a T-shaped end block 21, and the T-shaped end block 21 and the main cross bar 22 are fixedly connected; a rectangular sliding opening 121 for the sliding installation of the T-shaped end block 21 is provided on the assembly rod seat 12, and a downward circular tube 23 is inserted and slidably arranged on the main cross bar 22, and a conical liquid storage tube 24 is connected to the upper end of the downward circular tube 23 for storing colored marking liquid; a circular tube hole 221 for the installation of the downward circular tube 23 is opened through the main cross bar 22; the marking liquid in the conical liquid storage tube 24 can be automatically injected into the downward circular tube 23 under the action of gravity.

[0052] The downward-probing circular tube 23 and the conical liquid storage tube 24 are provided with a marking part 3 for automatically marking the marking liquid on the raised bottle cap; the assembly rod seat 12 is provided with an adjuster 4 for adjusting the height of the main cross bar 22. According to the standard height of the filled bottles on the actual production line after filling and capping, the position of the main cross bar 22 is adjusted to adjust the marking standard of the marking part 3. The two mounting platforms 1 are provided with a conveying unit 5 for limiting the transmission of the filled bottles, which can cooperate with the marking part 3. When the filled bottles are transported to the position of the two mounting platforms 1, the conveying unit 5 will limit the filling bottles and convey them to the bottom of the downward-probing circular tube 23, and cooperate with the marking part 3 to perform a quality inspection on the raised bottle caps of the filled bottles.

[0053] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to be able to mark bottle caps with abnormal protrusion heights so that the staff can accurately identify and find filled bottles with quality problems after the filled bottles leave the production line, the marking member 3 includes a marking ball 31 which is limitedly rotated and arranged at the lower end of the downward probe circular tube 23. When the marking ball 31 is driven by resistance, it can rotate so that the marking liquid in the downward probe circular tube 23 can be marked on the object that is in resistance with the marking ball 31. The conical liquid storage tube 24 is sleeved with an external ring 32, and two push rods 33 are symmetrically installed on the lower side of the external ring 32. The external ring 32 is fixedly sleeved on the conical liquid storage tube 24, and the two push rods 33 are fixedly connected to the external ring 32; a pull-down spring 34 is sleeved on the lower tube 23 between the conical liquid storage tube 24 and the main cross bar 22, and the pull-down spring 34 always has a driving force to drive the conical liquid storage tube 24 and the lower tube 23 to move downward, but due to the limitation of the two push rods 33, in the absence of other external forces, the distance between the marking ball 31 at the lower end of the lower tube 23 and the main cross bar 22 is certain; when the marking ball 31 is resisted, it will drive the lower tube 23 and the conical liquid storage tube 24 as well as the external ring 32 and the two push rods 33 to move upward as a whole. A liquid injection port 122 is formed through the assembly rod seat 12 located above the conical liquid storage tube 24 , and the marking liquid can be injected into the conical liquid storage tube 24 through the liquid injection port 122 .

[0054] According to the standard height of the actual filled bottle after capping, the height of the main cross bar 22 is adjusted by the regulator 4, that is, the position of the marking ball 31 is adjusted. When the filled bottle passes under the downward probe tube 23 under the operation of the conveying unit 5, if the bottle cap has no protrusion, it will not contact the marking ball 31, and thus will not be marked; when the bottle cap has a protrusion, the height will be higher than the standard height, then it will contact the marking ball 31, and the marking ball 31 will rotate due to the resistance, and then the marking liquid in the downward probe tube 23 can be smeared on the protruding bottle cap. It shows that the bottle cap is not properly sealed and tightened during filling and capping, resulting in gas leakage or entering the bottle, affecting the pressure in the bottle and causing the deformation of the bottle cap. Or after filling, the temperature changes cause the gas in the bottle to expand and generate additional pressure, resulting in the protrusion of the bottle cap. That is, there is a quality problem with this filled bottle.

[0055] When the raised bottle cap contacts the marking ball 31, it will also push it upward, so that the downward probe tube 23 and the conical liquid storage tube 24 move upward as a whole, and the pull-down spring 34 is stretched. After the bottle to be filled passes under the downward probe tube 23, it no longer contacts the marking ball 31. Under the action of the pull-down spring 34, the downward probe tube 23 and the conical liquid storage tube 24 move downward and reset as a whole, that is, the marking ball 31 returns to the standard height, and then the subsequent filling bottles are continuously inspected for the raised bottle caps. This can quickly achieve the effect of quality inspection marking of the filling bottles on the production line.

[0056] Reference Figure 7 As shown, since it is necessary to adjust the height of the main cross bar 22 accordingly according to the standard height of the filled bottle after capping according to actual needs, so that the marking member 3 can play a role, the regulator 4 includes a threaded rod 41 that is rotatably arranged in the rectangular sliding port 121 and the thread passes through the T-shaped end block 21, and the T-shaped end block 21 is penetrated with an internal threaded hole 211 adapted to the threaded rod 41, and a knob cap 42 is installed on the upper end of the threaded rod 41. Rotating the knob cap 42 can drive the threaded rod 41 to rotate, and in cooperation with the internal threaded hole 211 opened on the T-shaped end block 21, the T-shaped end block 21 can be driven to slide up and down in the rectangular sliding port 121. Since the T-shaped end block 21 and the main cross bar 22 are fixedly connected, the effect of adjusting the height of the main cross bar 22 can be achieved. According to the standard height of the bottle after filling and capping on the actual production line, the marking standard of the marking member 3 can be adjusted accordingly by adjusting the height of the main cross bar 22.

[0057] Reference Figures 8 to 10As shown, considering the need to accurately convey the filled bottles to the bottom of the downward-probing circular tube 23 so as to cooperate with the marking piece 3 to inspect the protrusion of the bottle cap, the conveying unit 5 includes a bottom shovel plate 51 installed at one end of the bottom support plate 11, a laser sensor 52 is arranged on the mounting platform 1, a clamping seat 54 is slidably mounted on the mounting platform 1 through the vertical plate 53, a sliding opening 101 for the sliding installation of the vertical plate 53 is opened on the mounting platform 1, a driving assembly 6 is arranged on the lower side of the vertical plate 53 and the bottom support plate 11, and a conveying mechanism 7 is arranged on one side of the clamping seat 54. When the filled bottles on the production line are transported to the bottom shovel plate 51 by the conveying equipment, they can be scooped up by the bottom shovel plate 51, so that the filled bottles stay on the bottom shovel plate 51. After the laser sensor 52 senses that there are filled bottles on the bottom shovel plate 51, the driving component 6 operates to make the two clamping seats 54 slide synchronously toward the central axis of the bottom shovel plate 51 and the bottom support plate 11. Then, under the action of the conveying mechanism 7, the position of the filled bottles can be adjusted to keep them on the central axis of the bottom shovel plate 51 and the bottom support plate 11, and the filled bottles are clamped and limited. When the conveying mechanism 7 starts to operate, the filled bottles can be clamped and moved to the bottom of the downward circular tube 23.

[0058] The bottom shovel plate 51 and the upper side of the bottom support plate 11 are both smooth surfaces with low friction. It should be noted that although the upper side of the bottom shovel plate 51 is a smooth surface, since the inclination angle of the inclined surface of the bottom shovel plate 51 is relatively small, when the filling bottle is pushed onto the bottom shovel plate 51, it will not slide under the action of the inclined surface, thereby preventing the filling bottle from sliding back to the conveying device under the action of its own weight and the smooth inclined surface.

[0059] Continue to refer to Fig.10 As shown, in order to synchronously drive the two card seats 54 to slide symmetrically, the position of the filling bottle is adjusted and limitedly clamped to ensure that the filling bottle is located on the central axis of the bottom shovel plate 51 and the bottom support plate 11, the driving assembly 6 includes two linked gear rods 61 respectively installed at the lower ends of the two vertical plates 53, and the lower sides of the mounting platform 1 and the bottom support plate 11 have connecting recesses 102 and rectangular grooves 111 for installing the two linked gear rods 61. The bottom support plate 11 is located at the rectangular groove 111 and is rotatably provided with a linked gear 62 meshing with the two linked gear rods 61. An electric push rod 63 is installed on one of the mounting platforms 1, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 63 is connected to the vertical plate 53. After the laser sensor 52 senses that there is a filling bottle on the bottom shovel plate 51, the electric push rod 63 starts to drive one of the vertical plates 53 to slide toward the central axis of the bottom shovel plate 51 and the bottom support plate 11, that is, under the meshing action of the two linkage gear rods 61 and the linkage gear 62, the two clamping seats 54 can be synchronously driven to slide toward the central axis of the bottom shovel plate 51 and the bottom support plate 11, so that the conveying mechanism 7 on one side of the clamping seat 54 can clamp the filling bottle to a limited position. After a certain period of time, the electric push rod 63 will start again to drive one of the vertical plates 53 to reset, that is, drive the two clamping seats 54 to return to their initial positions.

[0060] Reference Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, since it is necessary to convey the filled bottles after the limited clamping, so that the filled bottles can pass directly under the downward probe tube 23, the conveying mechanism 7 includes a side plate 71 installed on one side of the clamping seat 54, and the side plate 71 is symmetrically provided with two side rollers 73 through the inner roller shaft 72, and the side plate 71 is symmetrically provided with side grooves 711 and assembly holes 712 for the installation of the side rollers 73 and the inner roller shaft 72, and the two side rollers 73 are sleeved with conveyor belts 74, and the side plate 71 is provided with a driver 8 for driving the two side rollers 73 to rotate. The two clamping seats 54 slide toward the central axis direction of the bottom shovel plate 51 and the bottom support plate 11, and finally the conveyor belt 74 will conflict with the filled bottles, so as to achieve the effect of clamping and limiting the filled bottles by the two conveyor belts 74 on the two side plates 71. When the driver 8 is started, the conveyor belt 74 will be driven to rotate, so as to clamp the filled bottles and convey them to the bottom of the downward probe tube 23 for bottle cap protrusion inspection and marking. It should be noted that the rotation speed of the conveyor belt 74 is consistent with the conveying speed of the conveying equipment on the production line for the filled bottles.

[0061] After the filled bottle is clamped and driven to move from the head end of the side abutment plate 71 to the tail end of the side abutment plate 71, it is time for the electric push rod 63 to start again. The electric push rod 63 starts to drive the two clamping seats 54 to reset to release the clamping limit of the filled bottle. The position of the filled bottle is at the tail end of the side abutment plate 71, and under the action of its own weight, the bottom of the bottle has fallen onto the conveying equipment of the production line, and the filled bottle continues to be conveyed to the lower position by the conveying equipment.

[0062] Reference Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, in order to drive the conveyor belt 74 to rotate so that the filled bottles can slide on the bottom shovel plate 51 and the bottom support plate 11, the driver 8 includes an electric motor 81 arranged in the side plate 71, and the side plate 71 has an embedded circular groove 713 for installing the electric motor 81. The rotating shaft of the electric motor 81 is sleeved with a groove wheel 1 82, and one of the inner roller shafts 72 is sleeved with a groove wheel 2 83, and a transmission belt 84 is sleeved between the groove wheel 1 82 and the groove wheel 2 83. When the electric motor 81 is started and operated, it can drive the inner roller shaft 72 to rotate through the transmission belt 84, that is, it can drive the conveyor belt 74 to rotate to transport the filled bottles. It should be noted that the two electric motors 81 on the two side plates 71 are synchronously operated at the same speed, so that the two conveyor belts 74 on the two side plates 71 rotate at the same speed.

[0063] The side cover of the side abutment plate 71 is provided with a strip protection shell 75 for protecting the driver 8. The strip protection shell 75 can protect the groove wheel 1 82, the groove wheel 2 83 and the transmission belt 84.

[0064] Embodiment 2:

[0065] Reference Fig.14 As shown, on the basis of the first embodiment, in order to detect the weight of the filling bottle and check whether the amount of beverage injected during the filling process meets the standard, a weighing device 9 is also provided on the bottom support plate 11. The weighing device 9 includes a pressure sensor 91 installed on the bottom support plate 11. The bottom support plate 11 is provided with a tail groove 112 for installing the pressure sensor 91. A rectangular bottom plate 92 is provided on the pressure sensor 91. It should be noted that the upper side of the rectangular bottom plate 92 is on the same horizontal plane as the upper side of the bottom support plate 11, and is also a smooth surface with low friction. When the filling bottle passes over the rectangular bottom plate 92, the overall weight of the filling bottle will act on the rectangular bottom plate 92, so that the weight of the bottle after filling can be detected by the pressure sensor 91. Avoid the situation where too little or too much apple cider vinegar beverage is injected into the bottle.

[0066] Reference Fig.15 As shown, on the other hand, the present application also discloses a method for inspecting the filling of apple cider vinegar, and the steps of the inspection method are as follows:

[0067] The first step is placement and adjustment: first install the device on the conveying equipment of the filling production line, and adjust the height of the main crossbar 22 through the regulator 4 according to the standard height of the filled bottles that need to be inspected; the height of the main crossbar 22 is adjusted by rotating the knob cap 42 through the rotation of the threaded rod 41. According to the standard height of the bottles after filling and capping on the actual production line, the marking standard of the marking part 3 is adjusted accordingly.

[0068] The second step is limited position conveying: after the conveying equipment on the production line conveys the filled and capped bottles to the two mounting platforms 1, the conveying unit 5 limits the position of the filled bottles and then conveys them to the bottom of the downward-probing circular tube 23; when the laser sensor 52 senses that there are filled bottles on the bottom shovel plate 51, the electric push rod 63 is started to synchronously drive the two clamping seats 54 to slide toward the central axis of the bottom shovel plate 51 and the bottom support plate 11, and the filled bottles are clamped and limited by the two conveyor belts 74. The electric motor 81 is started to drive the conveyor belt 74 to rotate, so as to clamp the filled bottles and convey them to the bottom of the downward-probing circular tube 23 for bottle cap protrusion inspection and marking.

[0069] The third step is abnormal marking: after the filled bottle is conveyed to the bottom of the downward-probing circular tube 23, the marking member 3 quickly marks the bottle with abnormally raised bottle cap height; when the filled bottle is clamped and conveyed under the downward-probing circular tube 23, if the bottle cap has no raised portion, it will not contact the marking ball 31 and will not be marked; if the bottle cap has raised portion, it will contact the marking ball 31, and the marking ball 31 will rotate due to the resistance, so as to mark the marking liquid in the downward-probing circular tube 23 on the raised bottle cap for marking.

[0070] Step 4, release the limit: After completing the inspection mark, the conveying unit 5 conveys the filled bottle to the conveying equipment of the production line and releases the limit. When the filled bottle passes over the rectangular bottom plate 92, the weight of the filled bottle can be detected by the pressure sensor 91. When the position of the bottle to be filled is at the rear end of the side plate 71, the electric push rod 63 starts to drive the two clamping seats 54 to reset, so as to release the clamping limit of the filled bottle, and the bottom of the bottle falls onto the conveying equipment of the production line, and the filled bottle continues to be conveyed to the lower position by the conveying equipment.
