Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of pipelines, and in particular to a packaging pipeline with a foreign matter detection component. Background Art

[0002] In beverage factories, pipeline transportation is a common method of transporting raw materials. As the scale and production capacity increase, the scale and size of the transportation pipelines are also getting larger, which makes it impossible to detect and eliminate foreign matter inside the raw materials in the pipeline.

[0003] The existing solution replaces a section of pipe with a glass tube, uses a camera to detect foreign objects, and removes them after they are detected. However, as scale and production capacity increase, the size and scale of pipelines are also increasing. Due to the increased pipe diameter and the limited camera imaging capabilities, the existing solution can only detect liquid near the pipe wall. If foreign objects are found near the center of the pipe, they will not be captured by the camera and will be missed, failing to meet the original inspection requirements. Furthermore, if foreign objects are removed, too much raw material will be removed, resulting in waste. Summary of the Invention

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a packaging pipeline with a foreign matter detection component includes a raw material input pipeline 1, a first diversion pipeline 2, a second diversion pipeline 3, a third diversion pipeline 4, a waste pipeline 5, a raw material pipeline 6, a raw material output pipeline 7, and a detection mechanism 8. The first diversion pipeline 2 is provided with N, the second diversion pipeline 3 is provided with 2N, and the third diversion pipeline 4 is provided with 4N. The liquid outlet of the raw material input pipeline 1 is respectively connected with the liquid inlet of the first diversion pipeline 2, the liquid outlet of the first diversion pipeline 2 is respectively connected with the liquid inlet of the second diversion pipeline 3, the liquid outlet of the second diversion pipeline 3 is respectively connected with the liquid inlet of the third diversion pipeline 4, one liquid outlet of the third diversion pipeline 4 is connected with the raw material pipeline 6, and the other liquid outlet of the third diversion pipeline 4 is connected with the waste pipeline 5. A detection glass segment 9 is provided on the diversion pipe 4, and the detection mechanism 8 is installed at the detection glass segment 9. The raw material output pipe 7 is connected to multiple raw material pipes 6. A first ball valve 10 is provided between the third diversion pipe 4 and the waste pipe 5, and a second ball valve 11 is provided between the third diversion pipe 4 and the raw material pipe 6. The present invention detects diversion and can select a suitable number of first diversion pipes 2, second diversion pipes 3, and third diversion pipes 4 according to needs. While ensuring that the detection efficiency remains unchanged, the material can be detected more accurately to prevent missed detection, and the third diversion pipe 4 can be made thinner to make the detection accuracy more accurate. When foreign matter appears, the normally closed first ball valve 10 can be opened to discharge the material with foreign matter from the waste pipe 5. Since the third diversion pipe 4 is smaller, the waste of material can be reduced.

[0029] In this embodiment, the detection mechanism 8 includes a mounting frame 12, a detection sensor 13, and a PLC 14. The mounting frame 12 is arranged in a ring shape and is installed outside the third diversion pipe 4. A plurality of detection cameras 15 are evenly arranged on the mounting frame 12. The detection sensor 13 is installed on the mounting frame 12. The detection sensor 13, the detection camera 15, the first ball valve 10, and the second ball valve 11 are all electrically connected to the PLC 14. Specifically, the detection camera 15 of the present invention is provided with Three, and evenly distributed on the mounting frame 12, three detection cameras 15 are used to quickly take pictures of the detection glass segment 9 on the third diversion pipe 4, and then analyzed by PLC14. When there is foreign matter, the first ball valve 10 is opened and the second ball valve 11 is closed. When there is no foreign matter, the second ball valve 11 is opened and the first ball valve 10 is closed. The detection sensor 13 of the present invention is used to detect the material inside the third diversion pipe 4. When there is material, the detection camera 15 is turned on. When there is no material, the detection camera 15 is turned off.

[0030] In this embodiment, a light source 16 is provided on the mounting frame 12, and the light-emitting area of ​​the light source 16 is aligned with the detection glass segment 9 of the third diversion pipe 4. The light source 16 is a ring-shaped light source 16. The light source 16 of the present invention is used to fill in the light for the detection glass segment 9, so that the detection glass segment 9 is more transparent.

[0031] In this embodiment, a third ball valve 17 is provided between the raw material input pipeline 1 and the first diversion pipeline 2, between the first diversion pipeline 2 and the second diversion pipeline 3, and between the second diversion pipeline 3 and the third diversion pipeline 4. The third ball valve 17 is electrically connected to the PLC 14. The third ball valve 17 of the present invention can be used to accurately control each diversion pipeline. If there is a problem with one of the branches, the corresponding third ball valve 17 can be closed to prevent the liquid from flowing. At the same time, it is also convenient to adjust and replace branch components without causing waste of raw materials.

[0032] In this embodiment, the waste pipe 5 is externally connected to a waste collection pipe 18, and a sterilization component is provided on the waste collection pipe 18. The waste collection pipe 18 of the present invention can centrally process the discarded waste, and the sterilization component can perform preliminary sterilization on the waste.

[0033] In this embodiment, flow meters are provided on the inner wall of the raw material input pipe 1, the inner wall of the first diversion pipe 2, the inner wall of the second diversion pipe 3, the inner wall of the third diversion pipe 4, the inner wall of the waste pipe 5, the inner wall of the raw material pipe 6, and the inner wall of the raw material output pipe 7. The flow meters are electrically connected to the PLC 14. The present invention can detect the detection rate of each branch through the flow meter. When the flow rate is low, the shooting rate of the detection camera 15 can be appropriately reduced; when the flow rate is high, the shooting rate of the detection camera 15 can be appropriately increased.

[0034] In this embodiment, a cleaning pipe is provided at the liquid inlet of the third diversion pipe 4, and the cleaning pipe is externally connected to a cleaning pump. When the liquid with foreign matter is removed, water will be released through the cleaning pipe to flush the removal pipe to prevent foreign matter from causing mold and bacteria to grow in the pipe. During the flushing process, the first ball valve 10 is normally open and the second ball valve 11 is closed. The flushing liquid is directly discharged from the waste pipe 5 to prevent it from affecting the original material.

[0035] In this embodiment, the PLC14 includes an industrial computer 19, a programmable controller 20, and a display 21. The detection camera 15 is a visual industrial camera. The detection camera 15 is electrically connected to the industrial computer 19, the industrial computer 19 is electrically connected to the programmable controller 20, and the display 21 is electrically connected to the industrial computer 19.

[0036] In this embodiment, the detection sensor 13 includes a trigger sensor and a synchronization sensor, and both the trigger sensor and the synchronization sensor are electrically connected to the industrial computer 19 .

[0037] Specifically, the signals of the trigger sensor and the synchronization sensor are received to determine the position of the liquid. Once the liquid reaches the camera shooting station, the camera industrial computer 19 sends a shooting signal to the detection camera 15, and the detection camera 15 takes pictures of the liquid. The detection cameras 15 at the three stations respectively collect images of the liquid within a 120° viewing angle of the pipeline for analysis. The collected images are transmitted to the programmable controller 20 for analysis and judgment. Once foreign matter is detected, the programmable controller 20 sends a signal to remove the foreign matter by opening the first ball valve 10 and closing the second ball valve 11, and completely eliminate the liquid in the current glass tube. If the detection camera 15 does not collect a bad signal, the raw material flows normally, the second ball valve 11 is opened, and the first ball valve 10 is closed.

[0038] In this embodiment, the programmable controller 20 is externally connected to an alarm 22 , which is a light alarm 22 or a sound alarm 22 . Specifically, when a foreign object is detected, the alarm 22 can be directly activated.

[0039] The present invention uses a detection camera 15 to trace the source of captured foreign objects, effectively identifying the defective types of foreign objects, classifying and recording them, facilitating accurate statistics of production data. The source can be traced based on images of defective products, reducing the likelihood of similar foreign objects reappearing. Foreign objects can be removed online, facilitating the centralized processing of defective products, saving time and effort. Front-end and rear-end linkage can be set up, enabling a coordinated shutdown in the event of large-scale defective products, quickly issuing warnings, eliminating equipment failures, resuming production, and improving production line efficiency.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
