[0020] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a bottle transport steering device comprises a frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2. Bottles are transported on the conveyor belt 2 at a certain distance. The frame 1 is located in front of the conveyor belt 2 and is equipped with a column 31. A visual inspection device 3 is arranged on the column 31. In order to ensure the clarity of observation by the visual inspection device 3, an auxiliary light is installed on the visual inspection device 3. The auxiliary light can illuminate the bottles. The frame 1 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 2 and is equipped with a long conveyor belt 4. The frame 1 is located on the other side of the conveyor belt 2 and is equipped with a steering belt group 5. The steering belt group 5 includes several levels of circulating belts with adjustable running speeds. The circular conveyor belt 6, the steering belt group 5 in the present application includes a three-stage circular conveyor belt 6, the three-stage circular conveyor belt 6 is arranged in sequence from the bottle inlet to the bottle outlet, the long conveyor belt 4 and the steering belt group 5 are arranged at the same horizontal height, the bottle cap is arranged between the circular conveyor belt 6 and the long conveyor belt 4, and the distance between the circular conveyor belt 6 and the long conveyor belt 4 is the bottle cap diameter, and the frame 1 is provided with a controller, the controller is connected to the visual detection device 3, and the controller sets the rotation speed of the three-stage circular conveyor belt 6 according to the signal transmitted by the visual detection device 3, and drives the bottle cap to turn by controlling the rotation speed of the circular conveyor belt 6. In order to prevent the bottle from falling during the conveying process, guardrails are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 2.

[0023] The long conveyor belt 4 has the same running speed as the conveyor belt 2. When the visual inspection device 3 detects that the direction of the bottle is the same as the preset direction, the running speed of the circulating conveyor belt 6 of the belt group 5 is the same as the running speed of the long conveyor belt 4, and the bottle is conveyed forward together; when the visual inspection device 3 detects that the direction of the bottle is different from the preset direction, the controller determines the angle that the bottle needs to rotate, and then sets the running speed of the three-level circulating conveyor belt 6 in advance before the bottle contacts the long conveyor belt 4. In order to prevent the bottle cap from being unscrewed, the circulating conveyor belt 6 is controlled to be greater than or equal to the running speed of the long conveyor belt 4, so as to ensure that the force applied to the bottle cap is opposite to the direction of unscrewing the bottle cap, and the bottle cap is driven to rotate to the preset position by the speed difference between the circulating conveyor belt 6 and the long conveyor belt 4; the three-level circulating conveyor belt 6 can be set to gradually adjust the angle of the bottle cap in the first two levels of the circulating conveyor belt 6, and fine-tune it in the third level of the circulating conveyor belt 6 to ensure the accuracy of the bottle output direction. The conveyor belt 2, the long conveyor belt 4 and the circulating conveyor belt 6 are respectively installed on the rotating shaft and driven by different drive motors 7, and the drive motor 7 is connected to the controller.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that in order to adapt to the turning of bottles with different diameters and different bottle heights, the distance between the long conveyor belt 4 and the turning belt group 5 is adjustable, and the distance between the long conveyor belt 4 and the conveyor belt 2 is adjustable.

[0026] like Figure 3As shown, the frame 1 is provided with movable platforms 8 on both sides of the conveyor belt 2, and the frame 1 is provided with slide rails. The movable platform 8 is connected to the frame 1 through the slide rails. The frame 1 is provided with an electric telescopic rod 9, and the telescopic rod 9 is connected to the movable platform 8. The movable platform 8 is arranged on the frame 1 between the conveyor belt 2 and the telescopic rod 9. A lifting platform 10 is installed on the movable platform 8, and the long conveyor belt 4 and the adjustment belt group 5 are respectively arranged on the lifting platforms 10 on both sides. By extending the telescopic rods 9 on both sides at the same time, the movable platform 8 slides along the slide rails, so that the distance between the long conveyor belt 4 and the circulating conveyor belt 2 of the adjustment belt group 5 can be reduced, which can be applied to bottle caps with smaller diameters; when the lifting platform 10 is raised, the distance between the long conveyor belt 4 and the conveyor belt 2 becomes larger, which can be applied to the steering of bottles with higher bottles. The controller is connected to the telescopic rod 9 and the lifting platform 10, and the visual detection device 3 transmits the bottle height and bottle cap diameter information to the controller, and the controller controls the telescopic rod 9 and the lifting platform 10 to move to adapt to bottles of corresponding specifications.

[0027] The above description is only an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any modification without creative work made by any person skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principle of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
