[0035] Embodiment 1 provides an identification quality inspection device for milk bottles. The device is equipped with a liquid level identification module 4 and a bottle cap identification module 5 via a mounting frame 3. The liquid level identification module 4 identifies the liquid level of the bottle body passing along the conveyor belt 1, and determines whether the production requirements are met through a control module 9 after extracting the characteristic value. The bottle cap identification module 5 is used to identify the bottle cap part, and determines whether there is a bottle cap and whether the production code on the bottle cap is incorrect through the control module 9 after extracting the characteristic value. When the identification results are all correct, the bottled milk enters the next mechanism along the conveyor belt 1 for processing. If one of the identification tests is unqualified, the control module 9 is linked with a delay. At this time, the unqualified bottled milk just arrives at the gap 7 and is recycled through the recycling module 8. The automatic identification has high identification efficiency and good effect. The specific time of the delay is confirmed by debugging.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment 2, a spiral bottle pusher is provided on the baffle 2 located on the front side of the mounting frame 3 along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1.
