[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The utility model fixes the bottle inversion support to the end of the bottle separation and inversion conveying unit. After the bottle to be tested stands upright and enters the bottle separation and inversion conveying unit, when passing through the bottle inversion support, its head will fall down due to inertia when it contacts the bottle inversion support, and will be conveyed to the middle conveyor belt by the bottle separation and inversion conveyor belt in a flat state, and then enter the X-ray detection and rejection unit.

[0017] 2. In the present invention, after the bottles to be tested lie flat and pass through the X-ray detection and rejection unit, the unqualified products detected have been rejected from the conveyor line, and the qualified bottled products are conveyed by the middle conveyor belt to the lower bottle clamping conveyor end. Since the first gap width between the conveyor ends is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottles to be tested, the bottles to be tested can be clamped forward by the conveyor belts on both sides, and then the bottles to be tested will stand upright due to the interference of the bottle stand baffle at the bottom of the lower bottle clamping conveyor end and the drive of the conveyor belts on both sides. Subsequently, the upper bottle clamping conveyor end will safely convey the bottled products in an upright state to the bottle discharging conveying unit at the rear end, and then enter the subsequent assembly line, which can not only meet the requirements of the bottling production line for the upright conveying of the bottles to be tested, but also ensure the stability of the transmission, and improve the reliability of the overall detection device;

[0019] 4. The utility model has a wide range of applications and is not limited to X-ray machines. It can also be used in other structures that require inverting and standing bottles of bottled products. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic bottle separation and bottle standing X-ray detection device, which is used to convey bottled products 1 to be tested and detect and screen out qualified products therein, and the device includes a bottle separation and bottle inversion conveying unit 2, an X-ray detection and rejection unit 3, a bottle clamping and bottle standing conveying unit 4 and a bottle output conveying unit 5 which are connected in sequence, and each unit is installed on a fixed bracket.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottle-separating and bottle-inverting conveying unit 2 includes a bottle-separating and bottle-inverting conveying belt 21 and a bottle-inverting bracket 22 located above the bottle-separating and bottle-inverting conveying belt 21, and the bottle-inverting bracket 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the bottle-separating and bottle-inverting conveying unit 2. The bottle-separating and bottle-inverting conveying belt 21 adopts a chain plate conveyor belt, which is used to convey all the bottled products 1 to be tested that enter. The bottle-separating and bottle-inverting conveying unit 2 also includes a bottle-separating screw 23, which is fixedly connected to one side of the bottle-separating and bottle-inverting conveying belt 21 and is located between the entrance of the bottled product 1 to be tested and the bottle-inverting bracket 22. The bottle-separating screw 23 is distributed with a plurality of grooves, and there is a first spacing between adjacent grooves near the entrance, and there is a second spacing between adjacent grooves near the bottle-inverting bracket 22, and the first spacing is smaller than the second spacing. The bottle-separating and bottle-inverting conveying unit 2 also includes a first motor and a second motor 24, the first motor is fixedly connected to the bottle-separating and bottle-inverting conveying belt 21, and the second motor 24 is fixedly connected to the bottle-separating screw 23. The first motor and the second motor 24 are used as power to drive the bottle-separating and bottle-inverting conveying belt 21 and the bottle-separating screw 23 to rotate.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the X-ray detection and rejection unit 3 includes an intermediate conveyor belt 31, and also includes an X-ray detection device 32 and a foreign body rejection device 33 which are arranged in sequence and are respectively fixed to the first section and the second section of the intermediate conveyor belt 31, and the first section runs through the X-ray detection device 32. The foreign body rejection device 33 includes an air blowing rejection mechanism 331, and the air blowing rejection mechanism 331 is fixedly connected to one side of the second section. The intermediate conveyor belt 31 adopts a chain plate conveyor belt for conveying bottled products in a flat state. The X-ray detection device 32 uses X-rays to penetrate the product, and uses the existing image processing software to identify whether the bottled product passing through is qualified. The foreign body rejection device 33 receives the signal provided by the X-ray detection device 32, and rejects the unqualified products according to the signal.

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottle clamping and bottle standing conveying unit 4 includes a lower bottle clamping conveying end 41, an upper bottle clamping conveying end 42 and a bottle standing baffle 43. The lower bottle clamping conveying end 41 includes two sections of opposite foam surface conveying belts 411, that is, the surface of the conveying belts is made of foam material, and there is a first gap between the two sections of the conveying belts, and the width of the first gap is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottled product 1 to be tested; the bottle standing baffle 43 is fixed to the bottom of the lower bottle clamping conveying end 41 and is located in the first gap; the upper bottle clamping conveying end 42 is fixedly connected above the lower bottle clamping conveying end 41, and the upper bottle clamping conveying end 42 also includes two sections of opposite conveying belts, and there is a second gap between the two sections of the conveying belts, and the width of the second gap is equal to that of the first gap, and one section of the upper bottle clamping conveying end 42 is projected to the area where the lower bottle clamping conveying end 41 is located, and the other section is projected to the area where the bottle outlet conveying belt 51 is located.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottle discharging conveying unit 5 includes a bottle discharging conveying belt 51, the end of the bottle standing baffle 43 is connected to the top of the bottle discharging conveying belt 51, and the upper surfaces of the two are located on the same plane, and the two ends are flush so that the bottled products in the vertical state can smoothly transition from the bottle clamping and bottle standing conveying unit 4 to the bottle discharging conveying unit 5. The bottle discharging conveying belt 51 adopts a chain plate conveyor belt, which is used to convey qualified bottled products in the vertical state and connect to the rear-end production line. The bottle discharging conveying unit 5 is also provided with a third motor, which is fixedly connected to the bottle discharging conveying belt 51 and is used to drive the bottle discharging conveying belt 51 to rotate.

[0035] like Figure 2 to Figure 5 As shown, the bottle separation and inversion conveyor belt 21, the intermediate conveyor belt 31 and the bottle delivery conveyor belt 51 are all fixedly connected with a limiting mechanism. The limiting mechanism is used to limit the position of all bottled products in the conveying direction. In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism is composed of opposite baffles, and the baffles on both sides of each conveyor belt are aligned and connected in sequence. Figure 3 As shown, the two baffles on the second section of the intermediate conveyor belt 31 are both provided with openings, the height of the openings is slightly greater than the outer diameter of the bottled product, and the length of the openings is slightly greater than the length of the bottled product. The position of the air blowing rejection mechanism 331 fixedly connected to one side of the second section corresponds to the opening, so that unqualified bottled products can be smoothly rejected. In addition, a container for holding unqualified products is fixed on the other side of the second section opposite to the fixed position of the air blowing rejection mechanism 331, and the opening width of the container must be greater than the length of the baffle opening, so that unqualified bottled products can be accurately received. In addition, it should be noted that the upper surfaces of the bottle separation and inversion conveyor belt 21, the intermediate conveyor belt 31 and the bottle discharging conveyor belt 51 are all located on the same plane. In some other embodiments, the upper surface of the conveyor belt arranged at the rear end can also be slightly lower than the upper surface of the conveyor belt at the front end, so that the bottled products in a lying state can be smoothly and steadily conveyed.

[0036] The working principle of the above-mentioned detection device is as follows: after the bottled product falls, the flat state can ensure that it can smoothly pass through the interval between the two conveying units, that is, the design of the bottle stand baffle 43 can make the bottled product smoothly transition from the bottle separation and bottle fall conveying unit 2 to the X-ray detection and rejection unit 3, and then transition from the X-ray detection and rejection unit 3 to the bottle clamping and bottle stand conveying unit 4; at the same time, based on the first gap between the lower bottle clamping conveying end 41 and the second gap between the upper bottle clamping conveying end 42, the width is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottle to be tested, and the design that the two ends of the bottle stand baffle 43 connected to the bottle discharge conveyor belt 51 are flush, it can fully ensure that the bottled product smoothly transitions from the bottle clamping and bottle stand conveying unit 4 to the bottle discharge conveying unit 5. Therefore, in the automatic bottle separation and bottle stand X-ray detection device provided in this embodiment, the bottled product can be smoothly transferred between two adjacent conveying units.

[0037] When the aforementioned detection device starts to work normally:

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottled product 1 to be tested enters the bottle separation and inverting conveying unit 2 in a vertical state from the production line, and is conveyed into the groove of the bottle separation screw 23 through the bottle separation and inverting conveyor belt 21. The bottle separation screw 23 is driven to rotate by the second motor 24, thereby guiding the bottled products 1 to be tested to move forward in sequence and making the distance between the bottles to a fixed distance so that the rear bottled products can fall down, thereby realizing automatic bottle separation. When the head of the bottled product 1 to be tested contacts the inverting bottle bracket 22, it will fall down due to inertia and lie flat on the bottle separation and inverting conveyor belt 21 without stacking.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, after passing through the bottle inverting support 22 and falling down, the inverted bottled products 1 to be tested are conveyed by the bottle separation and inverting conveyor belt 21 and enter the X-ray machine detection device 32 in sequence. Because the bottled products are all inverted, they can pass smoothly at the joint of the two conveying ends. In the X-ray machine detection device 32, the X-ray penetrates the product, and the existing image processing software is used to identify whether the bottled product passing through is qualified, thereby sending an electrical signal to the foreign body rejection device 33 to indicate whether to reject it. Then, it is conveyed through the intermediate conveyor belt 31, and each bottled product 1 to be tested enters the foreign body rejection device 33 in sequence. At this time, the foreign body rejection device 33 has received the electrical signal provided by the X-ray machine detection device 32, and the air blowing rejection mechanism 331 classifies the products according to the received electrical signal, and removes the unqualified products from the conveyor line.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, after the qualified bottled product enters the bottle clamping and bottle standing conveying unit 4, it will first be conveyed through the lower bottle clamping conveying end 41. After a period of time, the bottom of the bottled product will hit the bottle standing baffle 43, and after standing upright, it will continue to be conveyed through the upper bottle clamping conveying end 42. Specifically, since the distance between the foam surface conveyor belts 411 on both sides of the lower bottle clamping conveying end 41 (i.e., the first gap) is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottled product, the bottled product is clamped forward by the foam surface conveyor belts 411 on both sides, and then the bottled product will stand upright due to the interference of the bottle standing baffle 43 at the bottom of the lower bottle clamping conveying end 41 and the drive of the conveyor belts on both sides. The upper bottle clamping conveying end 42 will then convey the bottled product in an upright state to the bottle discharging conveying unit 5 at the rear end, convey it through the bottle discharging conveying belt 51, and then enter the subsequent production line and continue to be conveyed along the subsequent production line.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] This embodiment provides an automatic bottle separation and bottle standing device, which is different from the device provided in the embodiment in that this embodiment does not include an X-ray detection and rejection unit, and is only used for automatic sorting and conveying of a large number of bottled products, improving the efficiency of bottle separation and bottle standing, reducing labor costs, and the bottle separation and bottle inversion conveyor belt and the bottle delivery conveyor belt are both belt conveyor belts. The remaining structure is basically the same as that of the embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0043] The preferred specific embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above. It should be understood that ordinary technicians in this field can make many modifications and changes based on the concept of the utility model without creative work. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by technicians in this technical field based on the concept of the utility model through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments on the basis of the existing technology should be within the scope of protection determined by the claims.
