The detector 2 is specifically set as a glass bottle inspection machine, and the glass bottles are detected and analyzed through visual imaging. To avoid the situation of low detection accuracy caused by impurities adhering to the inner wall of the glass bottle during detection, it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the glass bottle before detection. A plurality of cleaning stations are arranged on the detection platform 1, and a positioning cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on each cleaning station. The bottle mouth of the glass bottle is buckled and inserted into the positioning cylinder 3; to ensure that the glass bottle is stably inverted, a clamping mechanism 4 for clamping the bottle mouth end of the glass bottle is arranged in the positioning cylinder 3. In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping mechanism 4 includes an annular airbag and an air pump for inflating the annular airbag. The air pump is located below the detection platform 1, and the air pump is connected to the annular airbag through a hose. When it is necessary to clamp and fix the glass bottle, only need to insert the bottle mouth of the glass bottle upside down into the positioning cylinder 3 and inflate the annular airbag, so that the annular airbag covers the outer wall of the bottle mouth of the glass bottle. At this time, the glass bottle can be stably inverted on the detection platform 1 under the wrapping of the annular airbag.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a support rod 6 is vertically fixed in the positioning cylinder 3 on the detection platform 1. The support rod 6 is coaxially installed in the positioning cylinder 3. The bottom end of the support rod 6 penetrates the table surface of the detection platform 1 and extends downward. The support rod 6 is hollow. When the glass bottle is stably inverted on the detection platform 1, the support rod 6 extends into the glass bottle. A plurality of mounting holes 9 are formed through the peripheral wall of the support rod 6. The number of the mounting holes 9 can be determined according to the size of the glass bottle. In the embodiment of the present application, four mounting holes 9 are arranged around the support rod 6 at the same height, and a total of six mounting holes 9 are arranged in the vertical direction of the support rod 6. A ball hinge 10 is arranged on the inner top wall of the mounting hole 9, and a spray head 7 is connected to each mounting hole 9 through the ball hinge 10. The spray head 7 can be adjusted for yaw and pitch in the mounting hole 9. A water pipe and an air pipe for communicating with the spray head 7 are also arranged in the support rod 6. The water pipe and the air pipe are both made of flexible materials. The water pipe is connected to a water source, and high-pressure water can be sprayed by the spray head 7 through the water pipe to realize the flushing of the inner wall of the glass bottle; the air pipe is connected to an air source, and high-pressure air can be sprayed by the spray head 7 through the air pipe to realize the purging of the inner wall of the glass bottle. In order to enable the water on the inner wall of the glass bottle to be quickly discharged during purging, a plurality of water leakage holes 5 are formed in the positioning cylinder 3 on the detection platform 1, and the plurality of water leakage holes 5 are all arranged around the outside of the support rod 6.

[0024] To realize the convenient adjustment of the yaw and pitch angles of the spray head 7, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4, an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the spraying angle of the spray head 7 is further provided on the support rod 6, and the adjusting mechanism is located inside the support rod 6.

S4. Inspect the glass bottle. Remove the glass bottle after scouring and blowing from the positioning cylinder 3 and transfer it to the detector 2 for visual inspection of the defect condition of the inner wall of the glass bottle.

At the same time, start the rotation drive member 84 and the lifting drive member 85. The rotation drive member 84 and the lifting drive member 85 adjust the spraying angle of the nozzle 7 so that the high-pressure water can scour the inner wall of the glass bottle at different spraying angles. Then, spray high-pressure air flow into the glass bottle through an air pipe. At the same time, start the rotation drive member 84 and the lifting drive member 85. The rotation drive member 84 and the lifting drive member 85 adjust the spraying angle of the nozzle 7 so that the high-pressure air flow can blow the inner wall of the glass bottle at different spraying angles, accelerating the sliding speed of the water droplets on the inner wall of the glass bottle, and enabling the water droplets on the inner wall of the glass bottle to quickly drain through the water leakage holes 5. Finally, remove the glass bottle after scouring and blowing from the positioning cylinder 3 and transfer it to the detector 2 for visual inspection of the defect condition of the inner wall of the glass bottle.
