DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] The first embodiment of the utility model is a mechanical plugging device, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a plugging mechanism 4, a waste rejection mechanism 3 and a plugging device, the plugging device includes a bottle stopper transport mechanism 1, a plug sorting mechanism 5 and a plugging mechanism 2, the plugging mechanism 2 is arranged below the end of the plug sorting mechanism 5, the plugging mechanism 2 can be raised and lowered, and is used to push the bottle stopper 9 at the end of the plug sorting mechanism 5 into the bottle stopper transport mechanism 1, the end of the plug sorting mechanism 5 is provided with a detection module 10 for detecting positive and negative plugs and missing plugs, and the detection path of the detection module 10 intersects with the lifting path of the plugging mechanism 2. The bottle stopper transport mechanism 1 is used to transport the bottle stopper 9 on the plug sorting mechanism 5 to the plugging mechanism 4 or the waste rejection mechanism 3.

[0031] Furthermore, the bottle stopper transport mechanism 1 is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it includes a drive-controlled cork-turning plate 11 for transferring the cork 9, a drive-controlled cork-turning shaft 12 connected to the cork-turning plate 11, a swinging shaft 14 for driving the cork-turning shaft 12 to swing, a swinging driving mechanism 18, a connecting rod mechanism 17 connecting the swinging shaft 14 and the swinging driving mechanism 18, a cork-turning driving mechanism 16, and a transmission shaft 15 connecting the cork-turning shaft 12 and the cork-turning driving mechanism 16, the swinging shaft 14 is sleeved outside the transmission shaft 15, the cork-turning plate 11 is provided with a plurality of plug delivery holes for accommodating the cork 9, the swinging driving mechanism 18 and the cork-turning driving mechanism 16 are connected to the detection module 10 by signal; a right-angle reducer 13 is also provided between the swinging shaft 14 and the cork-turning shaft 12.

[0032] Specifically, the connecting rod mechanism 17 includes a first connecting rod 171 , a second connecting rod 172 and a third connecting rod 173 which are connected in sequence. The third connecting rod 173 is connected to the swing driving mechanism 18 , and the first connecting rod 171 is fixedly connected to the swing shaft 14 .

[0033] Furthermore, the plugging mechanism 2 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes a drive-controlled plug rod 21 for pushing the bottle plug 9 into the plug turning plate 11, a plug seat 22, and a plug driving mechanism 23 for driving the plug rod 21. The plug rod 21 is arranged on the plug seat 22, and moves up and down under the drive of the plug driving mechanism 23. The plug rod 21 is located below the movement track of the bottle plug transport mechanism 1. The detection module 10 is arranged on the plug seat 22 and is installed tilted. The tilt angle θ with the horizontal plane is between 10-45 degrees. Figure 5 As shown in Figure (A1).

[0034] Furthermore, the waste rejection mechanism 3 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it includes a drive-controlled reject rod 31 for poking the bottle cork 9 off the cork turning plate 11 and a plug receiving box 34 arranged below the reject rod 31. The reject rod 31 is arranged on a reject seat 32 and moves up and down under the drive of the reject drive mechanism 33. In this embodiment, the reject rod 31 is located below the movement trajectory of the bottle cork transport mechanism 1.

[0035] Furthermore, the stoppering mechanism 4 includes a stoppering rod 41 for poking the cork 9 from the cork turning plate 11 into the bottle. The stoppering rod 41 is arranged on the stoppering seat 42 and moves up and down under the drive of the stoppering driving mechanism 43. In this embodiment, the stoppering rod 41 is located above the movement trajectory of the cork transport mechanism 1.

[0036] The plugging mechanism 2 is also provided with a detection module 10 for detecting positive and negative plugging and lack of plugging. The straight line where the detection path of the detection module 10 is located intersects with the lifting path of the plugging mechanism 2. The detection module 10 can adopt an optical fiber sensor, a photoelectric sensor, etc.

[0037] When the bottle stopper 9 is in the correct position, the plugging rod 21 is in the initial position. Figure 5 As shown in Figure (A1), the plug rod 21 rises to the final position to push the bottle plug 9 into the plug turning plate 11. Figure 5 As shown in Figure (A2), Figure 6 Figures (a1), (a2), and (a3) ​​respectively show the detection states of the detection module 10 at t0, t1, and t2 when the bottle stopper 9 is in the correct state. From t0 to t1, the rise of the plug rod 21 has not yet made the bottle stopper 9 enter the detection area of ​​the detection module 10. At t2, the rise of the plug rod 21 makes the bottle stopper 9 enter the detection area of ​​the detection module 10, and the light encounters the bottle stopper 9 and is reflected. When the bottle stopper 9 is in the reverse state, the plug rod 21 is in the initial position. Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 (B1), the plugging rod 21 rises to the final position, pushing the bottle plug 9 into the plug-turning plate 11. Figure 5 As shown in Figure (B2), Figure 6 Figures (b1), (b2), and (b3) respectively show the detection status of the detection module 10 at t0, t1, and t2 when the bottle stopper 9 is reversed. At t0, the bottle stopper 9 does not enter the detection area of ​​the detection module 10. At t1-t2, the rise of the plug rod 21 causes the bottle stopper 9 to enter the detection area of ​​the detection module 10, and the light encounters the bottle stopper 9 and is reflected. When the bottle stopper 9 is not plugged, the plug rod 21 is in the initial position. Figure 5 As shown in Figure (C1), the final position of the ejector rod 21 is as follows Figure 5 As shown in Figure (C2), Figure 6Figures (c1), (c2), and (c3) respectively show the detection status of the detection module 10 at t0, t1, and t2 when the bottle stopper 9 is missing. The bottle stopper 9 has not entered the detection area of ​​the detection module 10 at t0-t2. Therefore, the detection module 10 can continuously detect at fixed intervals. When the bottle stopper 9 is reversed, the detection module 10 can detect the bottle stopper 9 in advance, and when the bottle stopper is missing, the detection module 10 cannot detect the bottle stopper 9. The rising interval of the top plug rod at t0-t1 is the reversed detection interval, and the rising interval of the top plug rod at t1-t2 is the missing detection interval. The reversed or missing state is determined based on the detection results of the reversed detection interval and the missing detection interval. Therefore, it is possible to deduce whether the bottle stopper 9 is positively blocked, reversed, or missing based on the detection results of the detection module 10.

[0038] The plug-pushing mechanism 2 is arranged at the plug-removing station 6, the waste rejection mechanism 3 is arranged at the waste rejection station 7, and the plug-adding mechanism 4 is arranged at the plug-adding station 8. After the plug-sorting mechanism 5 arranges the posture of the bottle plugs 9, the bottle plug transporting mechanism 1 swings to the plug-removing station 6. Under the action of the plug-pushing mechanism 2, the bottle plugs 9 at the end of the plug-sorting mechanism 5 are pushed out to the plug-turning plate 11 of the bottle plug transporting mechanism 1. At the same time, the detection module 10 detects the state of the bottle plugs 9. If there is a reverse plug or a missing plug, the bottle plug transporting mechanism 1 transports the bottle plugs 9 to the waste rejection station 7, and the waste rejection rod 31 rises, and all the bottle plugs 9 are pushed down from the plug-turning plate 11 and fall into the plug receiving box 34 below; if all are correct plugs, the bottle plug transporting mechanism 1 transports the bottle plugs 9 to the plug-adding station 8 and flips them, and the plug-adding rod 41 descends, and all the bottle plugs 9 are pushed into the bottle. In this way, the automatic waste rejection and automatic plugging of the bottle plugs 9 are realized, and the missing plugging or reverse plugging is prevented, which is conducive to improving the qualified rate of product plugging.

[0039] The swing drive mechanism 18 drives the end of the first connecting rod 171 in the connecting rod mechanism 17 to swing, so that the swing shaft 14 fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting rod 171 swings, and the swing shaft 14 drives the cork turning shaft 12 to swing, and the end of the cork turning shaft 12 is connected to the cork turning plate 11, so as to drive the cork turning plate 11 to transport the bottle cork 9 between the cork removing station 6, the waste rejection station 7, and the cork adding station 8; the cork turning drive mechanism 16 drives the cork turning shaft 12 through the transmission shaft 15, and drives the cork turning plate 11 to turn over. The connecting rod mechanism 17 has the characteristics of small rotation clearance and high repeated positioning accuracy, so that the swing repeated positioning accuracy is higher than that of gear or synchronous belt drive.

[0040] In summary, the above-mentioned plugging device and mechanical plugging device have the following beneficial effects:

[0041] (1) The plugging device of the utility model changes the position of the detection module so that the straight line where the detection path of the detection module is located intersects with the lifting path of the plugging mechanism, so that the detection module can detect three situations: positive plugging, reverse plugging and missing plugging, effectively preventing missed plugging or reverse plugging, which is conducive to improving the qualified rate of product plugging;

[0042] (2) The mechanical stoppering device of the utility model realizes automatic stoppering and automatic stoppering through the stoppering mechanism, the stoppering mechanism and the stoppering mechanism, thereby improving the working efficiency of the equipment, and the stoppering failure and reverse stoppering detected by the detection module are removed, thereby effectively improving the qualified rate of product stoppering;

[0043] (3) The mechanical stoppering device of the utility model adopts a connecting rod mechanism to control the stopper transfer mechanism to swing between the stopper removal station, the waste rejection station and the stoppering station, replacing the existing belt-driven stopper delivery track, making the rotational clearance smaller and the repeated positioning accuracy higher, thereby making the mechanical stoppering device occupy a smaller area, lower the cost, and more convenient for disassembly, assembly, cleaning and sterilization.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it; although the implementation mode of the utility model is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the attached claims.
