Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glass bottle defect detection, and in particular to a glass bottle body defect detection machine and a detection method. Background Art

[0002] During glass bottle production, cracks often appear on the bottle body (especially around the mouth and neck). To detect these cracks, the traditional method involves taking photos and performing image processing on the captured images. However, because cracks and other defects in glass bottles do not always appear in the same area, traditional image processing methods suffer from low reliability.

[0003] To improve crack detection accuracy, a commonly used method currently utilizes the differences in light reflection and refraction between cracked and intact areas of the bottle body. Specifically, a turntable is provided with multiple detection locations arranged around its circumference. Within each location, multiple light-receiving elements at varying angles are positioned, along with corresponding light-emitting elements (i.e., light sources). The turntable also features multiple rotating seats, which revolve with the turntable and rotate on their own axis. After being transferred to the turntable and passing through each inspection position in turn as the turntable rotates, the glass bottle rotates with the rotating seat when reaching each inspection position. The bottle body completes one rotation after passing through all the inspection positions, thereby realizing the inspection of the bottle body for one cycle. When there are cracks on the bottle body, the reflected light will be detected by a light receiving part at a certain inspection position for subsequent rejection processing (such as the technical solution recorded in the Chinese utility model patent with application number 202120853256.2, application date April 23, 2021, and patent name "Automatic Inspection Machine", and the technical solution recorded in the PCT invention patent with application number 202210462656.X, application date February 6, 2017, and patent name "Glass Bottle Inspection Device").

[0004] As market demand continues to increase, various special-shaped bottles (such as square bottles and oval bottles) have gradually appeared. However, it is difficult to directly use the above solution to detect cracks in special-shaped bottles. The reasons are:

[0005] (1) The problem of placing the bottle body. In order to ensure that the glass bottle is in the center of the rotating seat while rotating with the rotating seat, a groove that matches the size of the bottle bottom is generally opened on the surface of the rotating seat. If the bottle body is round, the bottle body and the rotating seat can be guaranteed to be in a concentric state no matter how it is placed. However, for special-shaped bottles, if a groove that matches the shape of its bottom is opened on the surface of the rotating seat, since the angle of the special-shaped bottle is random during the conveyor belt and the rotating seat will rotate, it is difficult to ensure that the current angle of the bottle body is exactly the same as the angle of the groove on the surface of the rotating seat when the special-shaped bottle is placed on the surface of the rotating seat. Therefore, the bottle body cannot be successfully placed in the groove on the surface of the rotating seat. If the groove opened on the surface of the rotating seat is a circular groove with a large enough size, although the success rate of placement can be improved, it cannot ensure that the bottle body and the rotating seat are in a concentric state.

[0006] (2) Bottle transfer problem. In the above-mentioned inspection scheme, one of the links is to transfer the glass bottles to be tested from the production line to the above-mentioned rotating seat, and transfer the glass bottles to the subsequent process after the inspection is completed. Traditional transfer methods include the following: 1) Belt transmission. That is, the glass bottles are transferred by belts that are relatively arranged and rotate in the same direction, such as the technical solution recorded in the Chinese invention patent with application number 202310163759.0, application date February 24, 2023, and patent name "A bottle body servo camera detection device", and the technical solution recorded in the Chinese invention patent with application number 202210307420.9, application date March 25, 2022, and patent name "A glass bottle inspection machine". 2) Card wheel transmission. That is, a card wheel with a card slot on the edge is used. When the glass bottle is transferred to the edge of the card wheel, it enters the card slot and is then further transferred or transferred by the card slot. Therefore, the traditional transfer method is more suitable for the transfer of round glass bottles. If the cross-section of the glass bottle to be tested is an irregular structure (such as oval or rectangular), it is difficult to transfer the bottle body using the above method.

[0007] (3) The problem of driving the bottle body at the detection position. After passing through all the detection positions, the bottle body needs to rotate exactly one circle, that is, at each detection position, the rotation angle is 360° / N, N is the number of detection positions, that is, when there are three detection positions, the bottle body rotates 120° at each detection position. However, in the prior art, when driving the rotating seat to rotate at the detection position, different driving mechanisms are required, such as the technical solution recorded in the Chinese utility model patent with application number 202120853256.2, application date April 23, 2021, and patent name "Automatic Inspection Machine". Since multiple driving mechanisms drive the rotating seat to rotate separately, the accuracy and synchronization of the rotation are difficult to control. If a certain driving mechanism fails to drive the rotating seat to rotate the corresponding angle for some reason, the entire bottle body cannot be detected at all angles, and missed detection is likely to occur. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Preferably, the input rotation mechanism includes an input drive brush, and the output rotation mechanism includes an output drive brush.

The counting sensor counts the glass bottles sent into the detection machine and tracks them for subsequent processing.

[0033] In the transfer assembly, the input clamp and output clamp are detachably installed on the ends of the input grabbing air cylinder and the output grabbing air cylinder respectively. The input clamp and output clamp are recessed to form grooves that match the contours of the glass bottles, so that glass bottles of different shapes can be grabbed.

[0034] In the drive box, the driving wheel drives all the driving wheels to rotate synchronously at the same time, so as to drive the glass bottles to rotate through the rotating disk, thereby ensuring the accuracy and synchronization of the glass bottles' rotation when being inspected in the inspection machine, and avoiding missed inspections.

[0035] In the driving box, the driving wheel is slidably mounted on the surface of the testing table through an adjusting plate to ensure that the driving wheel can contact the rotating disk shaft and drive the rotating disk to rotate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] Figures 1 to 15 The best embodiment of the present invention is shown below in conjunction with the attached Figures 1 to 15 The present invention is further described.

[0053] like Figure 1~Figure 2 As shown, a glass bottle body defect inspection machine (hereinafter referred to as the inspection machine) includes an inspection platform 6, with a main frame 2 disposed on its upper surface. A housing 3 is secured to the surface of the inspection platform 6 via the main frame 2. An input assembly 4 and an output assembly 1 are located on either side of the housing 3, each docking with the inspection platform 6. After processing, the glass bottles to be inspected are fed into the inspection machine via the input assembly 4. After crack detection within the machine, they are transferred to the output assembly 1, where they are delivered to subsequent processes.

[0054] Combine Figure 3A turntable assembly 9 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the inspection platform 6. Multiple inspection locations 14 are arranged outside the turntable assembly 9. Multiple light-receiving units are located within each inspection location 14. A horizontal beam 12 is fixed directly above the inspection platform 6 and secured via the main frame 2. A lighting assembly is secured to one end of the beam 12. The lighting assembly comprises a light box frame 11 secured to the beam 12 and a light box 13 secured via the light box frame 11. The light box 13 is used to provide light to the inspection locations 14. The implementation method of the light-receiving part in each detection position 14 and the detection principle of glass bottle cracks are common knowledge in this field (such as the technical solution recorded in the Chinese utility model patent with application number 202120853256.2, application date April 23, 2021, and patent name "Automatic Inspection Machine", and the technical solution recorded in the PCT invention patent with application number 202210462656.X, application date February 6, 2017, and patent name "Glass Bottle Inspection Device"), which will not be repeated in this application.

[0055] The turntable assembly 9 is rotatably arranged on the surface of the detection table 6, and a plurality of bottle carrying assemblies 28 (see FIG. Figure 6 ), the bottle carrying assembly 28 rotates while the turntable assembly 9 revolves around it, and the glass bottles to be inspected are placed on the surface of the bottle carrying assembly 28 and the bottle carrying assembly 28 rotates and revolves around it.

[0056] A transfer assembly 8 is also provided on the surface of the inspection table 6. The transfer assembly 8 is located on one side of the turntable assembly 9. An inlet and an outlet are provided on both sides of the housing 3. The transfer assembly 8 is located between the inlet and outlet of the housing 3. The input assembly 4 extends to the inlet of the housing 3 and docks with one end of the transfer assembly 8. The output assembly 1 extends from the other side of the housing 3 to the outlet of the housing 3 and docks with the other end of the transfer assembly 8. The input assembly 4 is implemented by a conveyor belt driven by the input drive motor 7, and the output assembly 1 is implemented by a conveyor belt driven by the output drive motor 5.

[0057] The glass bottles to be inspected are placed on the surface of the conveyor belt in the input component 4. The conveyor belt runs under the action of the input drive motor 7 to send the glass bottles to be inspected into the entrance of the detection machine housing 3. The transfer component 8 transfers the glass bottles running to the end of the input component 4 to the bottle carrying component 28 on the surface of the turntable component 9. The glass bottles pass through each inspection position 14 in turn to complete the inspection during the rotation of the turntable component 9, and then run to the entrance of the output component 1. At this time, the transfer component 8 transfers the inspected glass bottles to the conveyor belt surface of the output component 1, and the glass bottles are transferred out of the detection machine under the drive of the input drive motor 7.

[0058] like Figure 4~Figure 5As shown, the transfer assembly 8 includes a transfer linear module 18 horizontally arranged on the surface of the inspection table 6. Two sliders are slidably arranged on the transfer linear module 18, and the surfaces of the two sliders are respectively provided with an input translation frame 17 and an output translation frame 19. An input fixed seat 16 is installed on the end of the input translation frame 17 near the input assembly 4. An input lifting cylinder 15 is installed on the end of the input fixed seat 16 facing the turntable assembly 9, and an input lifting frame 25 is installed on the movable end of the input lifting cylinder 15. An input grabbing cylinder 26 is horizontally fixed to the surface of the input lifting frame 25, and a set of input clamps 27 are arranged opposite to the movable ends of the input grabbing cylinder 26.

[0059] An output fixing seat 21 is mounted on the end of the output translation frame 19 near the output assembly 1. An output lifting cylinder 20 is mounted on the end of the output fixing seat 21 facing the turntable assembly 9. An output lifting frame 22 is mounted on the movable end of the output lifting cylinder 20. An output grabbing cylinder 23 is fixed horizontally to the surface of the output lifting frame 22. A set of output clamping claws 24 are positioned opposite to each other at the movable ends of the output grabbing cylinder 23.

[0060] Combine Figure 6 A through-beam sensor 29 is provided at the output of the input assembly 4, with its input and output terminals located on either side of the output. A glass bottle to be inspected is placed on the surface of a conveyor belt within the input assembly 4. Driven by the input drive motor 7, the conveyor belt delivers the bottle to the entrance of the housing 3. When the bottle reaches the end of the input assembly 4, the signal between the input and output terminals of the through-beam sensor 29 is blocked, and the input drive motor 7 stops.

[0061] A counting sensor 30 is also provided at the output end of the input assembly 4. The counting sensor 30 is fixed to the surface of the inspection table 6 by a bracket. The counting sensor 30 counts the glass bottles fed into the inspection machine and tracks them for subsequent processing (such as rejecting defective glass bottles).

[0062] like Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, the turntable assembly 9 includes a detection turntable 36 and a bottle pressing turntable 37. The bottle pressing turntable 37 is located directly above the detection turntable 36, and the axes of the detection turntable 36 and the bottle pressing turntable 37 are collinear. A spline shaft 38 is vertically arranged on the surface of the detection platform 6, and a turntable drive motor (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the lower part of the detection platform 6. The motor shaft of the turntable drive motor is coaxially fixed with the spline shaft 38. The spline shaft 38 is coaxially fixed with the detection turntable 36 and the bottle pressing turntable 37 on the surface of the detection platform 6. When the turntable drive motor rotates, it drives the detection turntable 36 and the bottle pressing turntable 37 to rotate at the same time through the spline shaft 38.

[0063] A turntable adjustment box 31 is provided on the top of the spline shaft 38. The turntable adjustment box 31 is used to control the lifting and lowering of the bottle pressing turntable 37 to adjust the vertical distance between the bottle pressing turntable 37 and the detection turntable 36. Figure 9 The turntable adjustment box 31 includes an adjustment base plate 42, and a housing is provided on the upper portion of the adjustment base plate 42 ( Figure 9 ), an adjusting bearing 41 is provided at each end of the adjusting base plate 42, and an adjusting pulley 39 is provided directly above the adjusting bearings 41 on both sides. A turntable lifting screw 32 is coaxially fixed at the center of the two adjusting pulleys 39, and the turntable lifting screws 32 on both sides respectively pass through the adjusting bearings 41 on the corresponding side and extend downward to the surface of the detection table 6, and are rotatably mounted on the surface of the detection table 6.

[0064] An adjusting disk 40 is provided in the middle of the adjusting pulleys 39 on both sides, and a driving pulley is coaxially fixed below the adjusting disk 40. An adjusting belt 43 is provided outside the driving pulley and the adjusting pulleys 39 on both sides. The diameter of the driving pulley is larger than the diameter of the adjusting pulleys 39 on both sides, which plays a tensioning role so that the driving pulley can simultaneously drive the adjusting pulleys 39 on both sides to rotate through the adjusting belt 43, and further drive the two turntable lifting screws 32 to rotate.

[0065] The two turntable lifting screws 32 extend downward and pass through the bottle pressing turntable 37 at the same time, and the two turntable lifting screws 32 are threadedly connected to the bottle pressing turntable 37 at the same time. Therefore, when the two turntable lifting screws 32 rotate, they can drive the bottle pressing turntable 37 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the distance between it and the detection turntable 36.

[0066] The above-mentioned bottle carrying assemblies 28 are evenly arranged on the periphery of the detection turntable 36, and a number of bottle pressing assemblies 33 are arranged on the periphery of the bottle pressing turntable 37. The bottle pressing assemblies 33 correspond one by one to the bottle carrying assemblies 28 above and below, and the glass bottles to be tested on the surface of the bottle carrying assemblies 28 are pressed by the bottle pressing assemblies 33.

[0067] A bottle pressing drive assembly 10 is fixed to the other end of the above-mentioned beam 12 relative to the light box frame 11. The bottle pressing drive assembly 10 contacts the bottle pressing assembly 33 at the input assembly 4 and the output assembly 1, and drives the bottle pressing assembly 33 to move, and releases the pressure of the glass bottles to be tested on the surface of the bottle carrying assembly 28 by the bottle pressing assembly 33 at the input assembly 4 and the output assembly 1, so that new glass bottles can be transferred to the surface of the bottle carrying assembly 28 through the transfer assembly 8 at the input assembly 4, and the glass bottles that have been tested can be transferred to the surface of the output assembly 1 through the transfer assembly 8.

[0068] Combine Figure 10-11A drive box 34 is provided on the surface of the inspection table 6 and is located inside a plurality of inspection positions 14. There are three inspection positions 14. When three connected bottle carriers 28 on the surface of the inspection turntable 36 revolve along with the inspection turntable 36 to the three inspection positions 14, the drive box 34 is used to drive the three bottle carriers 28 at the inspection positions 14 to rotate, so that inspection can be performed at the corresponding inspection positions 14.

[0069] The drive box 34 includes a cover plate on its upper surface, the end face of which faces the detection turntable 36 and is an arc-shaped surface. A driving wheel 53 is provided in the middle portion of the drive box 34. The driving wheel 53 is rotatably arranged on the surface of the detection table 6, and the driving wheel 53 is located on a side of the drive box 34 near the edge of the detection table 6. A rotation drive motor 61 is provided below the detection table 6. The motor shaft of the rotation drive motor 61 passes upward through the table surface of the detection table 6 and is coaxially fixed to the driving wheel 53. The rotation drive motor 61 drives the driving wheel 53 to rotate. A tensioning pulley is also provided on both sides of the driving wheel 53.

[0070] Two inner driven wheels 55 are rotatably mounted on the surface of the testing platform 6. Both inner driven wheels 55 are located inside the driving wheel 53, and are located on the left and right sides of the driving wheel 53. A plurality of outer driven wheels 56 are rotatably mounted on the surface of the testing platform 6, corresponding one to one with the testing positions 14.

[0071] There are three external driven wheels 56, which are evenly distributed on the arc surface of the cover plate, and the edges of the three external driven wheels 56 protrude from the arc surface of the cover plate. The angle between any two of the three external driven wheels 56 and the center of the detection turntable 36 is the same as the angle between any two bottle carriers 28 on the surface of the detection turntable 36 and the center of the detection turntable 36. Therefore, the three external driven wheels 56 can respectively contact the rotating shafts of the three adjacent bottle carriers 28, thereby driving the three bottle carriers 28 to rotate at the same time, so that the glass bottles to be tested on the surfaces of the three bottle carriers 28 can be detected for cracks at the light receiving parts at the corresponding detection positions 14.

[0072] The three outer driven wheels 56 are rotatably mounted on the adjustment plates 60 respectively, and the three outer driven wheels 56 are slidably mounted on the surface of the detection platform 6 through the adjustment plates 60 respectively, so as to adjust the distance between the outer driven wheels 56 and the spline shaft 38, so as to further ensure that the outer driven wheels 56 can contact the bottle carrying shaft 57 of the corresponding detection turntable 36.

[0073] A set of guide wheels 52 is provided between any two adjacent outer driven wheels 56. The multiple guide wheels 52 in each set are arranged along the curved surface of the cover plate. A timing belt 54 is also provided within the cover plate. The timing belt 54 simultaneously passes through the driving wheel 53, the inner driven wheel 55, the outer driven wheel 56, and the guide wheels 52. Therefore, when the driving wheel 53 rotates, all the outer driven wheels 56 are driven to rotate synchronously via the timing belt 54.

[0074] like Figure 10 As shown, the bottle carrying assembly 28 includes a rotating disk 44, which is detachably mounted on the surface of a rotating base 47. The rotating shaft at the bottom of the rotating base 47 is the aforementioned bottle carrying shaft 57. The bottle carrying shaft 57 axially passes through the detection turntable 36 and extends to the lower portion of the detection turntable 36. A bottle body positioning groove 48 is defined in the middle of the surface of the rotating disk 44. The opening shape of the bottle body positioning groove 48 is the same as the shape of the bottom of the glass bottle to be tested. Since the rotating disk 44 is detachably mounted on the surface of the rotating base 47, different rotating disks 44 can be replaced according to the shape of the bottom of the glass bottle to be tested.

[0075] In the technical solution of this inspection machine, the non-circular bottom of a glass bottle is defined as an irregular bottom. When the bottom of the glass bottle to be tested is an irregular bottom, in order to facilitate the transfer component 8 to accurately realize the transfer in and out of the glass bottle to be tested, a positioning drive mechanism is also provided on the surface of the inspection table 6. The positioning drive mechanism includes an input rotation mechanism and an output rotation mechanism. The input rotation mechanism is located at the outlet of the input component 4, and is used to drive the bottle carrier component 28 to rotate and position at a certain angle before the empty bottle carrier component 28 receives the bottle, so that the transfer component 8 can accurately place the glass bottle with the irregular bottom into the bottle body positioning groove 48; similarly, the output rotation mechanism is located at the entrance of the output component 1, and is used to drive the bottle carrier component 28 to rotate and position at a certain angle before the glass bottle to be tested is transferred to the output component 1, so that the transfer component 8 can accurately take out the glass bottle that has completed the inspection and place it on the surface of the output component 1.

[0076] The input rotation mechanism includes an input drive brush 49, and the output rotation mechanism includes an output drive brush 58. Both the input drive brush 49 and the output drive brush 58 are located below the detection turntable 36. The input drive brush 49 is fixed to the surface of the detection table 6 via the input bracket 35, and the output drive brush 58 is fixed to the surface of the detection table 6 via the output bracket 59. Both the input drive brush 49 and the output drive brush 58 are arc-shaped, with bristles arranged on their inner surfaces.

[0077] The bottle carrying shaft 57 extending to the lower part of the detection turntable 36 is located on the inner side of the input drive brush 49 and the output drive brush 58, and when the bottle carrying shaft 57 passes through the inner side of the input drive brush 49 (or the output drive brush 58), it contacts the bristles on the inner side of the input drive brush 49 (or the output drive brush 58), and the bristles on the inner side of the input drive brush 49 (or the output drive brush 58) drive the bottle carrying shaft 57 to rotate by utilizing the friction between them and the bottle carrying shaft 57, thereby realizing the self-rotation of the bottle carrying shaft 57 on the input side and the output side.

[0078] like Figure 12 As shown, the detection turntable 36 is further provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 45. Two positioning grooves 45 are radially symmetrically provided on the outer ring of each rotating disk 44. A ratchet 50 is mounted in each positioning groove 45 via a rotating shaft. A tension spring 46 is also bolted to each positioning groove 45. The other end of the tension spring 46 is connected to the ratchet 50 in the corresponding positioning groove 45. The elastic force of the two tension springs 46 forces the tips of the two ratchet teeth 50 to abut against the outer edge of the rotating seat 47.

[0079] Since the relative positions of the bottle body positioning groove 48 opened in the middle of the surface of the rotating disk 44 and the rotating seat 47 are fixed, after the rotating seat 47 is positioned by the ratchet 50, the relative position of the bottle body positioning groove 48 is also fixed, so that the transfer component 8 can accurately place the glass bottle when transferring the glass bottle to the bottle body positioning groove 48 on the surface of the rotating seat 47.

[0080] Two radially symmetrical positioning slots 51 are defined on the outer edge of the rotating base 47. When the rotating base 47 rotates, driven by the inner bristles of the input drive brush 49 (or output drive brush 58), the tips of the ratchet teeth 50 slide relative to the outer edge of the rotating base 47. When the ratchet teeth 50 enter and abut the ends of the corresponding positioning slots 51, the rotating base 47 stops rotating, effectively braking the rotating base 47. Because the bristles are in a flexible connection with the bottle-carrying shaft 57, the bristles will further apply driving force to the bottle-carrying shaft 57 without damaging the ratchet teeth 50 or the rotating base 47.

[0081] In addition, the relative positions of the bottle body positioning groove 48 and the rotating seat 47 are fixed. Therefore, after the rotating seat 47 is positioned by the ratchet 50, the relative position of the bottle body positioning groove 48 is also fixed, so that the transfer component 8 can accurately place the glass bottle when transferring the glass bottle to the bottle body positioning groove 48 on the surface of the rotating seat 47.

[0082] At the outer driven wheel 56 of the drive box 34, since the direction of the outer driven wheel 56 can be controlled when it is driven by the motor, when the rotating disk 44 is driven to rotate at the detection position 14, the direction of the rotating seat 47 is opposite to the direction of rotation at the input drive brush 49 (or the output drive brush 58). Therefore, at the outer driven wheel 56, the braking effect of the ratchet 50 on the rotating seat 47 is invalid, and the rotation angle requirement of the rotating disk 44 at each detection position 14 is met.

[0083] like Figure 13 As shown, the bottle pressing assembly 33 includes a bottle pressing pin 63 located at the edge of the bottle pressing turntable 37. A pressing head 65 is fixed to the bottom of the bottle pressing pin 63. A bottle pressing spring 64 is sleeved on the outside of the bottle pressing pin 63 and positioned above the pressing head 65. After being fitted with the bottle pressing spring 64, the bottle pressing pin 63 passes axially upward through the bottle pressing turntable 37 and is locked by a locking sleeve 76 on the surface of the bottle pressing turntable 37. A bottle pressing boss 62 is provided on the top of the bottle pressing pin 63. The boss 62 is positioned above and spaced apart from the locking sleeve 76. When the bottle pressing pin 63 is not subjected to external force, the elastic force of the bottle pressing spring 64 causes the bottle pressing pin 63 to be in its lowest position, i.e., the pressing head 65 is in its lowest position. If a glass bottle is placed on the bottle carrier assembly 28 below it, the pressing head 65 engages the bottle's mouth, pressing the bottle into the bottle body positioning groove 48 on the surface of the rotating disk 44.

[0084] like Figure 14-15 As shown, the bottle pressing drive assembly 10 includes a bottle pressing bracket 67 fixed to the crossbeam 12. A bottle pressing drive plate 69 is vertically fixed to the surface of the bottle pressing bracket 67. A bottle pressing drive guide rail 66 is vertically arranged on both sides of the surface of the bottle pressing drive plate 69. A bottle pressing adjustment screw 68 is vertically arranged in the middle of the bottle pressing drive guide rail 66 on both sides. A bottle pressing adjustment handwheel 75 is provided at the bottom of the bottle pressing drive plate 69. The bottle pressing adjustment handwheel 75 drives the bottle pressing adjustment screw 68 to rotate.

[0085] A bottle pressing lifting plate 71 is provided on the front side of the bottle pressing drive guide rails 66 on both sides. The bottle pressing lifting plate 71 is slidingly connected to the bottle pressing drive guide rails 66 on both sides through sliders on both sides of its back. At the same time, a threaded block is provided on the back of the bottle pressing lifting plate 71. The bottle pressing adjusting screw 68 passes through the threaded block on the back of the bottle pressing lifting plate 71 and is threadedly connected to the threaded block. Therefore, when the bottle pressing adjusting screw 68 rotates, it can drive the bottle pressing lifting plate 71 to rise and fall along the bottle pressing drive guide rails 66 on both sides.

[0086] A bottle pressing drive frame 70 is fixed on the surface of the bottle pressing lifting plate 71, and an arc-shaped bottle pressing arc plate 72 is fixed at the bottom of the bottle pressing drive frame 70. The two ends of the bottle pressing arc plate 72 extend to the entrance of the output component 1 and the exit of the input component 4 respectively. A bottle pressing drive cylinder 73 is fixed at the bottom of both ends of the bottle pressing arc plate 72. The piston rod of the bottle pressing drive cylinder 73 is vertically downward, and a bottle pressing claw 74 is provided at the end of the piston rod of the bottle pressing drive cylinder 73.

[0087] The bottom of the bottle-pressing claw 74 is provided with a slot. The width of the slot is larger than the outer diameter of the bottle-pressing pin 63 in the bottle-pressing assembly 33, and smaller than the outer diameter of the bottle-pressing boss 62 on top of the bottle-pressing pin 63. The bottle-pressing claws 74 on either side are arranged in an arc shape, and the height of each bottle-pressing claw 74 is adjusted by turning the bottle-pressing adjustment handwheel 75. This ensures that all bottle-pressing assemblies 33 rotate with the bottle-pressing turntable 37, so that the bottle-pressing pins 63 of each bottle-pressing assembly 33 pass through the slots of the bottle-pressing claws 74 on both sides.

[0088] When the bottle pressing assembly 33 rotates to the bottle pressing assembly 33 at the input assembly 4 and the output assembly 1 along with the bottle pressing turntable 37, the piston rods of the bottle pressing driving cylinders 73 on both sides rise, and the bottle pressing pin 63 is pulled up through the bottle pressing claw 74. At this time, the pressure head 65 is away from the bottle carrying assembly 28 below it. At this time, the transfer assembly 8 transfers the glass bottles to be tested on the surface of the input assembly 4 to the surface of the bottle carrying assembly 28. At the same time, the transfer assembly 8 transfers the glass bottles that have completed the inspection from the bottle carrying assembly 28 to the surface of the output assembly 1. The bottle pressing pins 63 in other bottle pressing assemblies 33 are always in a tight state on the glass bottles.

[0089] The specific working process and working principle are as follows:

[0090] The glass bottle to be tested is input under the action of the input component 4. A through-beam sensor 29 is provided at the output end of the input component 4. When the glass bottle is transmitted to the end of the input component 4, the signal between the input and output ends of the through-beam sensor 29 is blocked, and the input drive motor 7 stops running.

[0091] At this point, the two bottle pressing assemblies 33 at the edge of the bottle pressing turntable 37, located at the output assembly 1 and the input assembly 4, respectively, rotate to the bottle pressing drive assembly 10, and the bottle pressing pins 63 in the two bottle pressing assemblies 33 are respectively engaged with the retaining holes of the bottle pressing claws 74 on both sides. The piston rods of the bottle pressing drive cylinders 73 on both sides rise, and the pressing head 65 moves away from the bottle carrying assembly 28 below it, reserving space for taking and placing glass bottles.

[0092] Driven by its corresponding sliders, the input translation frame 17 in the transfer assembly 8 moves toward the output end of the input assembly 4. During (or before) the movement of the input translation frame 17, the input lift cylinder 15 activates, raising the input gripping cylinder 26 to its highest position. Simultaneously, the input gripping cylinder 26 activates, opening the input clamping jaws 27 at its ends. The open input clamping jaws 27 are now positioned directly above the glass bottle. The input lift cylinder 15 then resets, lowering the input gripping cylinder 26 to its lowest position. The input clamping jaws 27 are now positioned on either side of the lower portion of the glass bottle. The input gripping cylinder 26 resets, closing the input clamping jaws 27 at its ends and clamping the glass bottle. Because the internal recesses of the input clamping jaws 27 form grooves that conform to the contours of the glass bottle, even if the glass bottle is positioned at a random angle on the surface of the input assembly 4, the relative angle of the glass bottle is determined after it is gripped by the input clamping jaws 27.

[0093] The detection turntable 36 rotates on the surface of the detection table 6. When a bottle carrier assembly 28 on the surface of the detection turntable 36 approaches the input assembly 4, it first contacts the bristles on the inner side of the input drive brush 49. The bristles on the inner side of the input drive brush 49 use the friction between them and the bottle carrier shaft 57 to drive the bottle carrier shaft 57 to rotate, thereby realizing the self-rotation of the bottle carrier shaft 57 on the input side. During the self-rotation process, the tooth end of the ratchet 50 slides relative to the outer edge of the rotating seat 47. When the ratchet 50 enters and abuts the end of the corresponding positioning groove 51, the rotating seat 47 stops rotating, achieving braking of the rotating seat 47. At this time, the rotating seat 47 completes positioning. After the rotating seat 47 is positioned by the ratchet 50, the relative position of the bottle body positioning groove 48 is also fixed, so that the transfer assembly 8 can accurately place the glass bottle when transferring it to the bottle body positioning groove 48 on the surface of the rotating seat 47.

[0094] The input lifting cylinder 15 is activated again, driving the input grabbing cylinder 26 and the glass bottle to the highest position. The input translation frame 17 is driven by the corresponding slider to return, and the glass bottle is transferred to the surface of the inspection turntable 36, just above the bottle-carrying assembly 28. The input lifting cylinder 15 is reset again, causing the input grabbing cylinder 26 and the glass bottle to descend, and the glass bottle is loaded into the bottle body positioning groove 48 on the surface of the bottle-carrying assembly 28. The input grabbing cylinder 26 is activated again, opening the input clamping claw 27 at its end. The input lifting cylinder 15 is activated three times, driving the input grabbing cylinder 26 to the highest position, separating the input clamping claw 27 from the glass bottle, and then grabbing the subsequent glass bottle on the surface of the input assembly 4.

[0095] Since the detection turntable 36 rotates cyclically, when the glass bottles on the surface of the input component 4 are grabbed, a glass bottle is moved to the output component 1 after completion. Using the same time interval, the transfer component 8 completes the transfer of the glass bottle to the output component 1 at the same time. Specifically:

[0096] Before rotating to the output assembly 1, the bottle carrier assembly 28 carrying the inspected glass bottles first passes through the output rotation mechanism. At this point, the bottle carrier shaft 57 of the rotating seat 47 contacts the bristles on the inner side of the output drive brush 58. The bristles on the inner side of the output drive brush 58 drive the bottle carrier shaft 57 to rotate due to the friction between them, thereby achieving the self-rotation of the bottle carrier shaft 57 on the output side. During the self-rotation process, the tooth ends of the ratchet 50 slide relative to the outer edge of the rotating seat 47. When the ratchet 50 enters and abuts the end of the corresponding positioning groove 51, the rotating seat 47 stops rotating, braking the rotating seat 47. At this point, the rotating seat 47 is positioned. After the ratchet 50 positions the rotating seat 47, the relative positions of the bottle body positioning groove 48 and the glass bottle are also fixed.

[0097] Driven by the corresponding sliders, the output translation frame 19 moves toward the output end of the input assembly 4. During (or before) the movement of the output translation frame 19, the output lifting cylinder 20 activates, raising the output grabbing cylinder 23 to its highest position. Simultaneously, the output grabbing cylinder 23 activates, opening the output gripping jaws 24 at its ends. The open output gripping jaws 24 are now positioned directly above the glass bottle. The output lifting cylinder 20 resets, lowering the output gripping cylinder 23 to its lowest position. The output gripping jaws 24 are now positioned on either side of the lower portion of the glass bottle. The output gripping cylinder 23 resets, closing the output gripping jaws 24 at its ends and clamping the glass bottle.

[0098] The output lifting cylinder 20 is activated again, driving the output grabbing cylinder 23 and the glass bottle to the highest position. The output translation frame 19 is driven by the corresponding slider to return, transferring the glass bottle to the top of the conveyor belt of the output assembly 1. The output lifting cylinder 20 is reset again, causing the output grabbing cylinder 23 and the glass bottle to descend, and the glass bottle is delivered to the surface of the conveyor belt of the output assembly 1. The output grabbing cylinder 23 is activated again, opening the output clamping claw 24 at its end. The output lifting cylinder 20 is activated three times, driving the output grabbing cylinder 23 to the highest position, separating the output clamping claw 24 from the glass bottle, and then grabbing the subsequent glass bottle on the surface of the bottle carrying assembly 28.

[0099] Then the piston rods of the bottle pressing drive cylinders 73 at both ends of the bottle pressing drive assembly 10 are output, and the corresponding bottle pressing pins 63 are released through the bottle pressing claws 74. If a glass bottle is placed on the surface of the bottle carrying assembly 28, the pressure head 65 presses the corresponding glass bottle. The above process of taking and placing the glass bottle is cyclically carried out to realize the transfer of the glass bottle to be tested and the transfer of the tested glass bottle out.

[0100] The glass bottles transferred to the inspection position 14 along with the inspection turntable 36 are inspected for defects in the corresponding inspection position 14:

[0101] When the bottle carrying assembly 28 rotates to the drive box 34, it contacts the outer driven wheel 56 (the synchronous belt 54 on the surface) at the drive box 34. At this time, the detection turntable 36 stops rotating, and at the same time, the self-rotating drive motor 61 works to drive the driving wheel 53 to rotate. When the driving wheel 53 rotates, the three outer driven wheels 56 are driven to rotate at the same time through the synchronous belt 54, and the friction between the synchronous belt 54 and the bottle carrying shaft 57 is used to drive the bottle carrying shaft 57 in contact with it to rotate, thereby realizing the self-rotation of the glass bottle on the surface of the bottle carrying assembly 28.

[0102] Since the angle between any two of the three external driven wheels 56 and the center of the detection turntable 36 is the same as the angle between any two bottle carrying assemblies 28 on the surface of the detection turntable 36 and the center of the detection turntable 36, the three external driven wheels 56 can respectively contact the rotating shafts of the three adjacent bottle carrying assemblies 28, thereby driving the three bottle carrying assemblies 28 to rotate at the same time. Therefore, when any glass bottle rotates, the three outer driven wheels 56 will contact a bottle carrying shaft 57 and drive it to rotate. After the glass bottle rotates a preset angle (120 degrees) at one outer driven wheel 56, the detection turntable 36 rotates again, driving it to rotate to the next outer driven wheel 56 until the glass bottle is output after passing the inspection at three inspection positions 14. Therefore, after passing all the inspection positions 14, any glass bottle rotates one circle by itself to complete the crack detection. Moreover, since the outer driven wheels 56 at the three inspection positions 14 rotate synchronously under the drive of the driving wheel 53, the accuracy and synchronization of the glass bottle's rotation during inspection in this inspection machine are guaranteed, thereby avoiding missed inspections.

[0103] After the glass bottle has completed the inspection at all inspection positions 14 , it is transferred out of the inspection turntable 36 and rotated toward the output component 1 . The transfer component 8 performs the above-mentioned glass bottle transfer and transfers the glass bottle to the surface of the output component 1 .

[0104] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any other manner. Any person skilled in the art may utilize the above-disclosed technical content to modify or modify the present invention into equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent variations, and modifications to the above embodiments that do not depart from the technical content of the present invention and are based on the technical essence of the present invention remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
