Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, and specifically relates to an intelligent cupping disinfection device. Background Technology
[0002] Cupping, as one of the main methods of treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is widely used in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics departments due to its simple operation and definite efficacy. The cupping jars used are usually reusable glass or ceramic instruments. During the cupping process, they inevitably become contaminated with the patient's sweat, blood, skin flakes, oil, and other pollutants. If they are not effectively cleaned and disinfected, there is a significant risk of cross-infection.
[0003] Currently, most TCM hospitals still rely on traditional manual methods for cleaning and disinfecting cupping jars. This process is complex, labor-intensive, and lacks standardized procedures, posing significant safety hazards related to disinfection and fire prevention. Existing technologies, such as Chinese invention patent CN114345861A, disclose a cupping jar cleaning and disinfection device. This device includes a housing, at least one functional layer, a liquid delivery device, an air supply device, and a control device. The housing's inner working cavity has a functional layer containing a nozzle and cupping jars placed on a support, with the jars' openings facing the nozzle. During operation, the cupping jars are placed on the support, and the control device initiates the process. The liquid delivery device first supplies cleaning fluid to the nozzle, which then sprays the fluid into the cupping jars for cleaning and disinfection. After a period of cleaning, the control device stops the liquid delivery device. The system controls the air supply device to deliver airflow to the nozzles, which then blow the airflow onto the cupping jars. After a period of blowing, the cupping jars are dried, thus completing the cleaning process. This reduces the labor intensity of the staff and improves the efficiency of cleaning the cupping jars. However, it requires manual placement according to arrangement order and size, which is labor-intensive and cumbersome. Furthermore, after cleaning the cupping jars with cleaning solution, the solution remains on the inner wall of the jars, which can easily cause damage to the patient's skin when used again. Summary of the Invention

[0037] See Figures 1 to 11This application provides an intelligent cupping disinfection device, comprising: a body 100, a clamping mechanism 200, a brushing mechanism 300, a rinsing mechanism 400, and a release mechanism 500. The body 100 has a cupping inlet and an outlet on its side wall, and a rotating disk 110 is disposed inside the body 100. The rotating disk 110 has at least four grooves 111 on its edge, and the rotating disk 110 is capable of rotating horizontally around its center. At least four clamping mechanisms 200 are provided, all disposed within the body 100. The upper end face of the rotating disk 110 corresponds to the groove 111; the brushing mechanism 300 includes a water tank, a brushing motor 320, a lifting cylinder 330, and a brush assembly 340.

[0038] Specifically, the machine body 100 includes a support section, a storage section, and a working section. The support section adopts a support structure composed of uprights, crossbars, etc. The storage section is located below the working section and is used to house devices such as water tanks and cleaning fluid tanks. The working section is divided into at least four workstations (taking four workstations as an example). The four workstations are arranged in a ring on the rotating disk 110, and are, in order, a clamping workstation, a brushing workstation, a rinsing workstation, and a release workstation. The ring arrangement enables the workstations to rotate, solving the problem of large space occupation by linear layouts. At least four grooves 111 are provided on the rotating disk 110, and the size of the grooves 111 is not smaller than the size of the opening of the cupping jar 10. The line connecting two opposite grooves 111 is perpendicular to the line connecting the other two grooves 111, and two grooves 111 always correspond to the inlet and outlet of the tank. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating disk 110. The rotating shaft is connected to a motor set on the outer wall of the machine body 100 via a belt. The rotating disk 110 is rotated by starting the motor. The motor is equipped with a controller (the controller can be set to be operated automatically by computer program or manually by button). The controller makes the rotating disk 110 rotate 90° each time, and after the rotation is completed, it stops for a period of time (the stopping time can be adjusted according to the cleaning standard).
[0039] The clamping mechanism 200 employs, but is not limited to, a robotic gripper, a spring claw, or other device capable of securing the fire cupping jar 10. At least four clamping mechanisms 200 are provided, all of which are located in the groove 111. The opening of the clamping mechanism 200 faces away from the center of the rotating disk 110.
[0040] The washing mechanism 300 is located below the rotating disk 110 and opposite the outlet. The water tank 310 is located in the storage section and contains cleaning fluid. The washing motor 320 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the machine body 100 via a slide groove, at the end away from the outlet. The washing motor 320 is driven by the brush assembly 340 via a belt. The lifting cylinder 330 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the machine body 100 and located above the washing motor 320. The telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 330 is connected to the washing motor 320 and is used to drive the washing motor 320 to slide up and down along the slide groove, while simultaneously moving the brush assembly 340, which is driven by the washing motor 320, up and down.
[0041] The rinsing mechanism 400 is located below the rotating disk 110 and opposite to the inlet. The fixing plate 410 is bolted to the inner wall of the machine body 100. One end of the two first nozzles 420 is detachably connected to the upper end face of the fixing plate 410, and the other ends of the two first nozzles 420 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the groove 111. One end of the second nozzle 430 is flush with the upper end face of the fixing plate 410. When the groove 111 on the rotating disk 110 is not rotating, the second nozzle 430 is at the center of the horizontal projection of the groove 111. A water tank for storing clean water is provided in the storage section of the machine body 100. The water tank is connected to the pipes of the first nozzle 420 and the second nozzle 430 respectively. (To increase the water output and water output speed, a water pump can be added. A water pump can also be added directly between the water tank 310 and the brush assembly 340. A sensor can be installed at one end of the first nozzle 420 and the second nozzle 430. The sensor is electrically connected to the switch of the first nozzle 420 and the second nozzle 430 to control the start and stop of the spray.)
[0042] The release mechanism 500 is located below the rotating disk 110 by means or structures such as, but not limited to, electrical connection between the sensor and the clamping mechanism 200, and a stop block 510 structure, and the release mechanism 500 is correspondingly located on the side of the can outlet.
[0043] A controller is installed on the side wall of the machine body 100. The controller is electrically connected to the rotating disk 110, the brushing mechanism 300, the rinsing mechanism 400 and the release mechanism 500 respectively. The controller controls the start and stop of the relevant mechanisms by setting several buttons. The controller also includes a counter, which controls the static stop time of the rotating disk 110 by using a timer.
[0044] Further, the used cupping jar 10 is placed into the inlet, and the clamping mechanism 200 fixes the cupping jar 10. The motor is turned on to drive the rotating disk 110 to rotate 90°, thereby causing the clamping mechanism 200 to drive the cupping jar 10 to rotate 90° as well. At the same time, the lifting cylinder 330 rises upward, and the brushing motor 320 rotates, causing the brush assembly 340 to extend from below the rotating disk 110 through the groove 111 and enter the interior of the cupping jar 10. It is then driven by the brushing motor 320 to rotate rapidly. The cleaning fluid enters the brush assembly 340 from the water tank 310 and is sprayed onto the inner wall of the cupping jar 10 as the brush assembly 340 rotates. The brush assembly 340 then brushes the inner wall of the cupping jar 10. When the static rest time ends, the lifting cylinder 330 descends, causing the brush assembly 340 to descend below the rotating disk 110. When the washing motor 320 stops rotating, the water tank 310 stops supplying cleaning fluid. After the static stop, the motor drives the rotating disk 110 to rotate 90° again, so that the fire cup 10 to be washed enters the rinsing station. The two first nozzles 420 spray clean water from both sides of the outer wall of the fire cup 10 to rinse the outer wall of the fire cup 10. The second nozzle 430 sprays clean water upward from the mouth of the fire cup 10 to rinse the inner wall of the fire cup 10. When the static stop ends, the first nozzles 420 and the second nozzles 430 stop spraying clean water. After the static stop, the motor drives the rotating disk 110 to rotate 90° and enter the release station, so that the clamping mechanism 200 releases the fire cup 10 and removes it from the outlet, completing the cleaning of the fire cup 10. Each time the rotating disk 110 stops, a used fire cup 10 can be placed at the inlet to complete the cycle cleaning.
[0045] The technical solution of the intelligent fire cupping disinfection device adopted in this application can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1. By setting up a clamping mechanism 200, a brushing mechanism 300, a rinsing mechanism 400 and a release mechanism 500, mechanical methods are used to replace manual labor and automated control is adopted to ensure that each fire cupping 10 can be cleaned according to standards, solving the problems of complicated operating procedures, high labor intensity, and non-standard cleaning and disinfection of fire cupping 10.
[0046] 2. By using a rotating disk 110, and arranging the clamping mechanism 200, brushing mechanism 300, rinsing mechanism 400 and release mechanism 500 in a ring, the problem of linear arrangement occupying a long linear space is solved.
[0047] 3. By first disinfecting and scrubbing, and then rinsing with clean water, the problem of cleaning solution residue on the inner and outer walls of the cupping jar 10 is solved, and the cleaning is more thorough.
[0048] Based on the above scheme, a buffer plate 120 and a push rod 130 are provided on the side of the machine body 100 near the can inlet. One end of the buffer plate 120 extends into the can inlet and is located below the rotating disk 110, and is connected to the machine body 100. The push rod 130 is connected to the end of the buffer plate 120 away from the can inlet through a push cylinder 140, and the push rod 130 can reciprocate along the length of the buffer plate 120.
[0049] Specifically, the buffer plate 120 is elongated and its width is not less than the diameter of the groove 111. The long side of the buffer plate 120 extends into the can inlet and is positioned below the rotating disk 110 so that the horizontal projection of the groove 111 is on the buffer plate 120. The buffer plate 120 is 1 cm away from the lower end face of the rotating disk 110. The end of the buffer plate 120 away from the machine body 100 is detachably connected to the can-pushing cylinder 140 via a bracket. The can-pushing cylinder 140 is provided with a can-pushing rod 130. Under the drive of the can-pushing cylinder 140, the can-pushing rod 130 extends and retracts along the length of the buffer plate 120. A push plate is provided at the end of the can-pushing rod 130 away from the can-pushing cylinder 140. The push plate is made of flexible material to avoid damaging the can 10 when pushing it.
[0050] Furthermore, when the cupping jar 10 is placed on the buffer plate 120 and the rotating disk 110 is in a stationary state, the cupping cylinder 140 starts to work, causing the cupping rod 130 to push the cupping jar 10 from the end of the buffer plate 120 away from the groove 111 into the groove 111, and the clamping component set on the groove 111 fixes and holds it, thereby fixing the cupping jar 10, solving the problem of personnel injury caused by human operation error, and making the operation simpler and more convenient.
[0051] In the preferred scheme, to improve convenience, a can-feeding conveyor belt 150 is provided on one side of the buffer plate 120, and the transmission direction of the can-feeding conveyor belt 150 is perpendicular to the can-pushing rod 130.
[0052] Specifically, the can delivery conveyor belt 150 is mounted on the side of the machine body 100 with the can inlet via a bracket. The transmission direction of the can delivery conveyor belt 150 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the can pusher rod 130. The can delivery conveyor belt 150 uses a rubber-operated belt, and its end near the buffer plate 120 is connected to the buffer plate 120. The used cupping jars 10 are placed on the can delivery conveyor belt 150, and the cupping jars 10 are transported by the can delivery conveyor belt 150 from the end away from the buffer plate 120 to the buffer plate 120. By setting up the can delivery conveyor belt 150, the space for placing the cupping jars 10 is increased. At the same time, by connecting the can delivery conveyor belt 150 with the buffer plate 120, the speed of the cupping jars 10 to the buffer plate 120 is reduced, thereby making it more accurate and convenient for the can pusher rod 130 to push the cupping jars 10.
[0053] Based on the above scheme, in order to achieve mechanized control, a trigger rod 151 is provided at one end of the can conveyor belt 150 near the buffer plate 120, and the trigger rod 151 is electrically connected to the can pushing cylinder 140.
[0054] Specifically, a trigger rod 151 is provided at one end of the can-feeding conveyor belt 150 near the buffer plate 120. The trigger rod 151 is electrically connected to the can-pushing cylinder 140, and an inclined plate is provided on the side opposite to the trigger rod 151. The inclined plate is used to slide the can 10 towards the side near the trigger rod 151. When the can 10 moves, the can 10 is pushed to one side by the inclined plate, and the side wall of the can 10 contacts the trigger rod 151, pushing the trigger rod 151 to rotate, thereby sending a signal to... The push rod 130 driven by the push cylinder 140 retracts. When the cupping jar 10 enters the buffer plate 120 and the trigger rod 151 returns to its original position, the push cylinder 140 causes the push rod 130 to push the cupping jar 10 into the groove 111 (a sensor is installed at the inlet, which is electrically connected to the motor. After passing the cupping jar 10, the motor rotates and drives the rotating disk 110 to rotate). By setting the trigger rod 151 to be electrically connected to the push cylinder 140, mechanical automation control is achieved, making the operation simpler and more convenient.
[0055] Furthermore, a ramp 121 is provided on the side of the buffer plate 120 near the can conveyor belt 150 and is connected to the can conveyor belt 150, and a baffle 122 is provided on the side of the buffer plate 120 away from the can conveyor belt 150. For example, one end of the buffer plate 120 is provided with a 45° ramp 121, and the ramp 121 is connected to the can delivery conveyor belt 150. The end of the buffer plate 120 away from the can delivery conveyor belt 150 is provided with a horizontal section, and a baffle 122 is provided on the side of the horizontal section away from the can delivery conveyor belt 150. When the can 10 slides down the ramp 121 of the buffer plate 120 from the can delivery conveyor belt 150 to the horizontal section and is blocked by the baffle 122, the speed of the can 10 given by the can delivery conveyor belt 150 is reduced to zero by setting the ramp 121. At the same time, the baffle 122 prevents the can 10 from sliding off the buffer plate 120 and falling off, and also plays an indirect positioning role, solving the problem that the can pusher rod 130 cannot accurately push the can 10 into the groove 111.
[0056] To achieve a more thorough cleaning, the above solution includes a brush assembly 340 comprising a connecting rod 341, a hollow shaft 342, and several bristles. One end of the connecting rod 341 is connected to the brushing motor 320 and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the machine body 100. One end of the hollow shaft 342 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 341 near the rotating disk 110, and the hollow shaft 342 is connected to the water tank 310 via a pipe. Several water spray nozzles are provided on the hollow shaft 342. Several bristles are arranged on the hollow shaft 342.
[0057] Specifically, a driven wheel is provided on the connecting rod 341, and the driven wheel is connected to the brushing motor 320 via belt drive. One end of the connecting rod 341 is connected to a hollow shaft 342, and the water inlet of the hollow shaft 342 is connected to the water outlet of the water collection tank 310. A water pipe, but not limited to, passes through the inside of the connecting rod 341 and is fixed to the water inlet of the hollow shaft 342 by a bearing. A water pump can be installed at the water outlet of the water collection tank 310. Spray nozzles are provided on the side wall and top of the hollow shaft 342, and the brush bristles are spaced evenly. The device is mounted on a hollow shaft 342. When the brushing motor 320 rotates, the water collection tank 310 sprays detergent water through the spray nozzle of the hollow shaft 342 onto the inner wall of the cupping jar 10. Driven by the brushing motor 320, the brush bristles rotate on the inner wall of the cupping jar 10 (the length of the bottom bristles of the brush is much longer than the radius of the jar opening). When one end of the hollow shaft 342 is inserted into the cupping jar 10, the bottom bristles are exposed outside the jar opening. In this way, when the brushing motor 320 drives the brush, the bottom bristles clean the dirt at the jar opening.
[0058] In the above scheme, to achieve the purpose of automatic grasping and releasing, the clamping mechanism 200 includes two grippers 210, two gripper arms 220, an opening and closing drive rod 230, and a retraction and reset spring 240. The two grippers 210 are arranged opposite to each other, and the grippers 210 are hinged to the gripper arms 220. Both gripper arms 220 are hinged to the opening and closing drive rod 230, and the opening and closing drive rod 230 extends into the rotating disk 110 and is slidably connected to the rotating disk 110. The two ends of the retraction and reset spring 240 are respectively connected to the inner walls of the two gripper arms 220.
[0059] Specifically, the gripper 210 consists of two identical parts, left and right, forming a V-shape. Silicone is fixed inside the gripper 210 to increase friction and prevent the can from tipping over. The V-shaped gripper 210 structure enables the circular can to self-center. The gripper 210 and gripper arm 220 are hinged together via a pivot, allowing the gripper 210 to rotate around its pivot to accommodate different can positions. The opening distance of the two grippers 210 is designed for the largest can. When a smaller cupping jar 10 is pushed into the gripping mechanism 200, the gripper 210 retracts to the return spring 240. The clamping jaws 210 are pulled tight under the action of the spring 240, which clamps the small fire cup 10. The return spring 240 can ensure that cans of different sizes can be effectively clamped. The ends of the two clamping jaw arms 220 away from the clamping jaws 210 are hinged together by the opening and closing drive rod 230. The rotating disk 110 is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the position of the opening and closing drive rod 230. The opening and closing drive rod 230 passes through the sliding groove and is slidably connected to the rotating disk 110. When the clamping jaws 210 are not clamping the fire cup 10, the opening and closing drive rod 230 is located at one end of the sliding groove. When the clamping jaws 210 open to both sides, the opening and closing drive rod 230 slides along the extension direction of the sliding groove.
[0060] The push rod 130 pushes the fire cup 10 from the buffer plate 120 into the groove 111, and spreads the two opposing V-shaped grippers 210 to the sides. The gripper arms 220, which are hinged to the grippers 210 through the rotary shaft, open to the sides, pushing the opening and closing drive rod 230 to slide along the sliding groove. At the same time, the retraction and reset spring 240 pulls the two opening and closing drive rods 230 inward, so that the grippers 210 firmly fix the fire cup 10, reducing the layout of sensors, motors and other equipment, and making the operation simpler.
[0061] Furthermore, a positioning rod 221 is provided on the gripper arm 220, and the positioning rod 221 is rotatably connected to the rotating disk 110. A positioning rod 221 perpendicular to the rotating disk 110 is provided at a quarter-length of the end of the gripper arm 220 away from the gripper 210. The positioning rod 221 is connected to the rotating disk 110 through a bearing. When the gripper arm 220 opens to both sides, it rotates along the positioning rod 221, causing the end closer to the gripper 210 to rotate outward and the end away from the gripper 210 to rotate inward, thus solving the problem of different opening angles on both sides when the gripper arm 220 opens outward.
[0062] In the above scheme, in order to achieve convenient operation, the release mechanism 500 includes a stop 510, which is located below the rotating disk 110 and connected to the inner wall of the body 100, and the stop 510 is connected to the opening and closing drive rod 230.
[0063] Specifically, the stop block 510 is C-shaped, with its opening facing the brushing mechanism 300 and the rinsing mechanism 400. The stop block 510 is fixedly connected to the machine body 100 and positioned below the rotating disk 110. The distance between the stop block 510 and the rotating disk 110 is 1 cm. One end of the opening / closing drive rod 230 extends out of the rotating disk and engages with the stop block 510. The rotation of the rotating disk 110 drives the opening / closing drive rod 230 to rotate. At the opening of the stop block 510, the opening / closing drive rod 230 is at one end of the sliding groove. During rotation, the opening / closing drive rod 230 is stopped by the stop block 510. The sliding mechanism pushes the cupping jar from one end of the sliding groove to the other, simultaneously causing the gripper arm 220 to rotate along the fixed rod, thereby causing the gripper 210 to open to both sides, completing the automatic clamping and release of the cupping jar 10. After the cupping jar 10 is rinsed, the rotary disc clamps the cupping jar 10 and rotates it 90 degrees to reach the release position. Under the action of the stop block 510, after the gripper 210 of the cupping jar 10 reaches the release position, the gripper 210 opens, and the cupping jar 10 is released. An output conveyor belt is arranged below the release position of the cupping jar 10 to convey the released cupping jar 10 out of the cleaning machine, thereby achieving the purpose of convenient operation.
[0064] Based on the above scheme, the release mechanism 500 also includes a can-discharge conveyor belt 520, one end of which extends into the can outlet and is located below the rotating disk 110, and a clean fire cupping 10 collection box 530 is provided at the end of the can-discharge conveyor belt away from the machine body 100.
[0065] The can-out conveyor belt 520 adopts a transmission mechanism with a belt made of flexible material. The distance between the can-out conveyor belt 520 and the rotating disk 110 is 1 cm, and the groove 111 at the can-out opening of the rotating disk is horizontally projected onto the can-out conveyor belt 520. A clean cupping jar 10 collection box 530 with a notch is set at the end of the can-out conveyor belt 520. Driven by the output conveyor belt, the cupping jar 10 automatically enters the clean cupping jar 10 collection box 530 to complete the cleaning of the cupping jar 10.
[0066] Specifically, the cupping cleaning process is as follows: Step S1, Transfer of uncleaned cupping jars: Step S11: Place the unwashed cupping jars on the cupping conveyor belt; Step S12: The can delivery conveyor belt carries the uncleaned canisters from the beginning to the end. At the end of the can delivery conveyor belt, the uncleaned canisters push the trigger rod, and the slope of the buffer plate reduces the speed of the uncleaned canisters to zero and stops at the baffle of the buffer plate. Step S13: When the trigger rod is pushed while the unwashed cupping jar is not cleaned, the cupping cylinder is opened. When the unwashed cupping jar stops at the baffle of the buffer plate, the cupping rod pushes the unwashed cupping jar from the inlet and into the groove of the rotating plate. Step S2, securing the uncleaned cupping jars: Step S21: The uncleaned cupping jar enters the groove of the rotating plate. The stop block below the rotating plate causes the opening and closing drive rod to move from the middle of the sliding groove to the end away from the stop block. Step S22: The rotating disk rotates 90° under the drive of the motor, the opening and closing drive rod rotates to leave the stop, the retracting return spring pulls the gripper arm, and the opening and closing drive rod slides to the end of the sliding groove near the stop, thereby completing the fixation of the uncleaned cupping jar. Step S3, Cleaning the cupping jars: Step S31: After the rotating disk rotates 90°, it stops for 5 to 8 seconds. When the stop begins, the lifting cylinder retracts, which drives the brush motor and brush assembly to rise and extend into the fire cup. The water tank opens to deliver cleaning fluid to the brush assembly. Step S32: After the lifting cylinder retracts to the designated position, it stops retracting. The brush motor starts to rotate, driving the brush assembly to rotate, and the cleaning fluid is used to clean the inner wall of the cupping jar. Step S33: After the brushing motor rotates for 3 to 5 seconds, it stops rotating, the water tank stops supplying cleaning fluid, and at the same time the lifting cylinder extends downwards, so that the brushing motor and brush assembly are lowered below the rotating disk.
[0067] Step S4, rinsing the cupping jars: Step S41: The rotating disc rotates 90° from the scrubbing station to the rinsing station and remains stationary for 5 to 8 seconds; Step S42: When the static stop begins, the water pump supplies water to the first nozzle and the second nozzle. The two first nozzles rinse the outer wall of the fire pot, and the second nozzle rinses the inner wall of the fire pot. Step S43: After rinsing with the first and second nozzles for 3 to 5 seconds, stop spraying water.
[0068] Step S5, Collection of Cupping: Step S51: The rotary table rotates 90° from the rinsing station, and the opening and closing drive rod gradually disengages from the stop block and enters the opening section of the stop block. The opening and closing drive rod slides along the sliding groove to one end close to the stop block. Step S52: The cupping jar enters the release station under the drive of the rotating disc and remains stationary for 5 to 8 seconds; Step S53: When the static stop begins, the grippers open to both sides under the action of the opening and closing drive rod, and the fire cup falls onto the canister delivery conveyor belt. Step S54: The can-out conveyor belt transports the cleaned canisters from the beginning to the collection box at the end, completing the cleaning and disinfection of the canisters.
[0069] Please see Figures 12 to 15 In a preferred embodiment, the rotating disk has five grooves, which are sequentially divided into a clamping station, a brushing station, a rinsing station, a can opening detection station, and a release station. The can opening detection station includes a push rod 610, a push rod cylinder 620, a detection plate 630, a detection motor 650, and a detection cutter 640. One end of the push rod 610 is connected to the push rod cylinder 620, and the end away from the push rod cylinder 620 is provided with a push plate made of arc-shaped flexible material. The push rod cylinder 620 is located above the rotating disk and is fixedly connected to the top of the machine body 100. The detection plate 630 is located below the rotating disk 110 and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the machine body 100. The detection motor 650 is located on the lower end face of the detection plate 630. The detection cutter 640 is slidably connected to the detection plate 630 and connected to the detection motor 650, and the detection cutter 640 is electrically connected to the push rod cylinder 620.
[0070] Specifically, based on the number and function of the workstations, a breakage outlet is opened at the corresponding position on the machine body 100, and the shape or number of the stop blocks 510 is adjusted. In this embodiment, when the opening / closing drive rod 230 contacts the stop block 510, the gripper 210 opens to both sides; when not in contact, the gripper 210 clamps inward. Arc-shaped stop blocks 510 are set at the corresponding positions of the breakage outlet, the can outlet, and the can inlet, and the arc-shaped stop blocks 510 at the can inlet and the can outlet are connected. The push rod 610 is set above the upper end face of the gripper 210 and is connected to the upper part of the canister 10 (the gripper 210 clamps the lower half of the canister 10, and the push rod 610 pushes the upper half of the canister 10). The detection tool 640 includes a tool sleeve 641, a blade 642, and a pressure sensor. The tool sleeve 641 is connected to the detection motor 650, and the tool sleeve 641 is groove-shaped. The blade 642 is housed inside the blade sleeve 641. A ramp is provided at the end of the blade 642 furthest from the blade sleeve 641, facing the windward side of the blade sleeve 641's rotation direction. The rotation direction of the detection motor 650 is opposite to that of the rotating disk 110. A pressure sensor is located at the end of the blade 642 near the blade sleeve 641 and is connected to the bottom of the blade sleeve 641 by a spring. The detection motor 650 is electrically connected to both the pressure sensor and the controller. When the cupping jar 10 is at the jar opening detection station, the blade 642 engages with the jar opening of the cupping jar 10. When the cupping jar 10 rotates into the jar opening detection station, the jar opening of the cupping jar 10 first contacts the ramp of the blade 642 and presses the blade 642 downwards, causing the end of the blade 642 furthest from the blade sleeve 641 to press tightly against the bottom of the jar opening of the cupping jar 10 until the cupping jar 10 rotates to the designated position.
[0071] After the cupping jar 10 is rinsed at the rinsing station, it rotates 90° to enter the jar opening inspection station. Upon starting the static stop, the inspection motor 650 rotates, driving the blade sleeve 641 to rotate. The blade 642 is pushed upwards by a spring, pressing tightly against the jar opening of the cupping jar 10 and rotating. If the jar opening of the cupping jar 10 has no cracks, missing corners, or gaps (taking a gap as an example), the data transmitted by the blade 642 to the pressure sensor will be the same. If the jar opening of the cupping jar 10 has cracks, missing corners, or gaps, the blade 642 will spring upwards when passing through the gap. The spring pushes the blade 642 upward into the notch, and the pressure sensor data changes. At the same time, the detection motor 650 continues to drive the blade sleeve 641 to rotate. The notch at the mouth of the cupping jar 10 is pressed downward by the ramp to disengage the blade 642 from the notch and continue the detection. The detection motor 650 runs for 3 to 5 seconds to perform multiple detections on the mouth of the cupping jar 10 and sends an opening signal to the push rod cylinder 620. The push rod cylinder 620 drives the push rod 610 to push the cupping jar 10 out of the broken outlet, completing the detection of the mouth of the cupping jar 10.
