At this time, the guide plate 8 rolls down to the inside of the collection box 9, completing the empty bottle screening of the oral liquid production line. Compared with the manual detection method for picking empty bottles, it greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers and improves production efficiency.

[0025] Working principle: When the power is turned on, in the process of detecting the empty bottles of the oral liquid production line, first, during the transportation of the oral liquid bottle, the symmetrical clamps 303 on both sides of the oral liquid bottle 4, in cooperation with the fixed block 301, the T-type pressure rod 302 and the return spring 304, stably clamp the oral liquid bottle 4 on the surface of the fixed plate 2 to improve the stability of the oral liquid bottle 4 during transportation. After the oral liquid bottle 4 reaches the position of the pushing assembly 7, the oral liquid bottle 4 is detected by the refractometer 6. When there is no empty bottle, the conveyor belt 1 drives the fixed plate 2 to continue to transport backward. When an empty bottle is detected, the signal is transmitted to the PLC control box 10, and the conveyor belt 1 is controlled by the PLC control box 10 to stop the transmission. At this time, the PLC control box 10 controls The output end of the electric push rod 701 extends toward one side of the oral liquid bottle 4, and the extrusion plate 702 at the output end of the electric push rod 701 first squeezes and pushes the other end of the T-type push rod 306. At this time, the movable rod 307 symmetrically hinged at one end of the T-type push rod 306 deflects, so that the clamps 303 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower end of the oral liquid bottle 4 move in the opposite direction at the same time, so that the two clamps 303 release the clamping of the oral liquid bottle 4. At the same time, the output end of the electric push rod 701 continues to push, and the push rod 703 at the top of the extrusion plate 702 pushes the middle part of the oral liquid bottle 4, pushing the oral liquid bottle 4 to the surface of the guide plate 8 fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor belt 1. At this time, the guide plate 8 rolls down to the inside of the collection box 9, completing the empty bottle screening of the oral liquid production line.
