Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wine bottle detection, and specifically relates to a wine bottle detection and positioning system. Background Technique

[0002] After liquor products are canned, various marks are usually printed on the bottle body. Especially in the white liquor industry, brand marks, production dates, product numbers or hidden marks, etc. are printed on the bottle cap or the seal of the bottle cap to prove the authenticity of the bottle of liquor, etc. After the marks are printed, it is necessary to collect and store the marks and record the information of the bottle of liquor for consumers to identify the authenticity and traceability.

[0003] For this reason, the applicant innovatively designed a mark information collection device. By moving the wine bottle from bottom to top, the bottle cap enters the light irradiation area, and the mark image is obtained through a camera. Then, through the image processing process in the background, the mark and its information are recorded and stored. In order to realize the intelligent detection of the collection device and reduce manual operation, the applicant correspondingly designed a unique positioning system. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the technical problems existing in the above background technique, the utility model provides a wine bottle detection and positioning system.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A wine bottle detection and positioning system is used for a wine bottle mark information collection device. The collection device includes a soft light cover, and the upper part of the wine bottle is placed in the soft light cover for taking images. The wine bottle detection and positioning system includes a bearing table, a lifting device for driving the bearing table to move up and down, and a positioning device;

[0007] The bearing table is located below the soft light cover for placing the wine bottle;

[0008] The lifting device includes a moving block and a driving mechanism for driving the moving block to move up and down. The bearing table is fixed on the moving block;

[0009] The positioning device is located on one side of the soft light cover. A through hole for horizontal detection by the positioning device is provided on the soft light cover. The positioning device is electrically connected to the driving mechanism and can instruct the driving mechanism to stop running when the bottle cap is detected;

[0010] It also includes two limiting devices arranged up and down. A limiting touch plate is provided on the moving block and is located between the two limiting devices. The maximum distance between the limiting touch plate and the upper limiting device is less than the distance between the bearing table and the lower end of the soft light cover. The limiting device is electrically connected to the driving mechanism.

[0011] During the inspection, the wine bottle is placed on the carrier, and the lifting device lifts the carrier so that the upper part of the wine bottle gradually enters the soft light cover. When the positioning device detects the bottle cap, a trigger signal is sent to the lifting device, and the lifting device stops running. At this time, the logo on the bottle cap or cover is in the best shooting position. If the positioning device fails and no signal is triggered, the moving block drives the carrier to continue to rise until the limit touch plate touches the limit device above it. The limit device triggers a stop signal to the lifting device to prevent the carrier or the wine bottle from colliding with other structures of the wine bottle identification information collection device and causing damage or failure.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to ensure the safe use of the wine bottle detection and positioning system, the system also includes a safety device and a warning device. The safety device is located above the positioning device, and is electrically connected to the drive mechanism and the warning device. When a bottle cap is detected, it is configured to instruct the drive mechanism to stop running and to instruct the warning device to sound an alarm, so as to prevent the support platform from moving the wine bottle further upward and causing a collision accident.

[0013] Furthermore, the installation height of the safety device is set so that when it detects the bottle cap, the limit touch plate does not touch the limit device above it. The safety device serves as the first line of defense to prevent the wine bottle or the carrier from colliding with it, and the upper limit device of the two limit devices serves as the second line of defense. When the safety device also fails, the limit touch plate will collide with the limit device when the moving block continues to move upward. Through the two protection measures, collision accidents are prevented during the use of the wine bottle detection and positioning system.

[0014] Preferably, both the positioning device and the safety device are photoelectric sensors.

[0015] In the present application, the driving mechanism includes a fixed frame, a first driver arranged at the upper end of the fixed frame, and a driving rod transmission-connected to the first driver, and the moving block is connected to the driving rod.

[0016] In order to ensure the stability of the upward and downward movement of the moving block, the driving mechanism also includes a vertical guide rod, and the moving block is slidably connected to the guide rod.

[0017] Specifically, the driving rod is a screw rod, and its two ends are rotatably connected to the fixed frame, and the moving block is sleeved on the driving rod and threadedly matched with the driving rod. The driving rod rotates around its own axis under the drive of the first driver, and the moving block is lifted and lowered through the threaded matching relationship.

[0018] In order to ensure the stability of the wine bottles after they are placed, a tray is provided on the support platform. The top of the tray is provided with a stepped and tapered slot for placing wine bottles of different thicknesses. At the same time, it plays a centering role so that the wine bottles are directly below the center of the soft light cover.

[0019] As another preferred solution of the present application, a tray is provided on the bearing platform, and a plurality of clamping feet are slidably connected to the top of the tray. The plurality of clamping feet are arranged circumferentially and are used to jointly clamp the bottom of the bottle. While fixing the wine bottle, the wine bottle is aligned directly below the soft light cover.

[0020] In order to realize the intelligent detection of wine bottles, the tray is rotatably connected to the bearing platform and can be horizontally rotated under the drive of the second driver, so that the label on the bottle cap or the wrapper rotates its position, enabling the camera of the wine bottle label information acquisition device to capture the label and take an image.

[0021] A wine bottle detection and positioning system provided by the present utility model can lift the wine bottle, and through the positioning device, the wine bottle stops at a specified height. Additionally, through the safety device and the limiting device, it is prevented that the wine bottle or the bearing platform rises excessively, resulting in a collision accident with the soft light cover or other mechanisms above it. This system can achieve automatic and accurate positioning and safety protection during wine bottle detection, reduce manual operations, and improve the detection efficiency.

Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0027] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a wine bottle detection and positioning system for a wine bottle label information acquisition device. The acquisition device includes a soft light cover 1, and light is projected inside the soft light cover 1 by a light source. During detection, the upper part of the wine bottle is moved into the soft light cover 1 to illuminate the label on the wine bottle, and then an image of the label on the wine bottle is taken by a camera.

[0028] The wine bottle detection and positioning system includes a bearing platform 2, a lifting device 3 for driving the bearing platform 2 to move up and down, and a positioning device 4;

[0029] The bearing platform 2 is located below the soft light cover 1 for placing the wine bottle;

[0030] The lifting device 3 includes a moving block 31 and a driving mechanism 32 for driving the moving block 31 to move up and down, and the bearing platform 2 is fixed on the moving block 31;

[0031] The positioning device 4 is located on one side of the soft light cover 1. A through hole for the horizontal detection of the positioning device 4 is provided on the soft light cover 1. The positioning device 4 is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 32 and can instruct the driving mechanism 32 to stop running when a bottle cap is detected;

[0032] It further includes two limiting devices 5 arranged vertically. A limiting touch plate 6 is provided on the moving block 31 and is located between the two limiting devices 5. The maximum distance between the limiting touch plate 6 and the upper limiting device 5 above it is less than the distance between the bearing platform 2 and the lower end of the soft light cover 1. The limiting device 5 is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 32.

[0033] During detection, the wine bottle is placed on the bearing platform 2, and the lifting device 3 lifts the bearing platform 2 so that the upper part of the wine bottle gradually enters the soft light cover 1. When the positioning device 4 detects the bottle cap, a signal is triggered to the lifting device 3, and the lifting device 3 stops running. At this time, the label on the bottle cap or the seal is in the best shooting position. If the positioning device 4 fails to trigger a signal, the moving block 31 drives the bearing platform 2 to continue rising until the limiting touch plate 6 touches the upper limiting device 5 above it. The limiting device 5 triggers a stop signal to the lifting device 3 to prevent the bearing platform 2 or the wine bottle from colliding with other structures of the wine bottle identification information acquisition device and causing damage or failure.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to ensure the safe use of the wine bottle detection and positioning system, a safety device 7 and a warning device (not shown in the figure) are also included in this embodiment. The safety device 7 is located above the positioning device 4 and is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 32 and the warning device, and is set to instruct the driving mechanism 32 to stop running and the warning device to give an alarm when a bottle cap is detected, so as to prevent the bearing platform 2 from dragging the wine bottle to continue moving up and causing a collision accident.

[0035] The installation height of the safety device 7 is set so that when it detects the bottle cap, the limiting touch plate 6 does not touch the upper limiting device 5 above it. The safety device 7 serves as the first protection against collision accidents of the wine bottle or the bearing platform 2, and the upper limiting device 5 among the two limiting devices 5 serves as the second protection. Only when the safety device 7 also fails, the limiting touch plate 6 will collide with the limiting device 5 when the moving block 31 continues to move up. Through these two protection measures, collision accidents during the use of the wine bottle detection and positioning system are eliminated.

[0036] In this embodiment, both the positioning device 4 and the safety device 7 are preferably photoelectric sensors. The through hole provided on the soft light cover 1 for the detection of the positioning device 4 preferably extends upward and is also set to be available for the safety device 7.

[0037] The lifting device 3 is entirely located on one side of the soft light cover 1. The driving mechanism 32 it includes specifically further includes a fixing frame 321, a first driver 322 disposed at the upper end of the fixing frame 321, and a driving rod 323 drivingly connected to the first driver 322. The moving block 31 is connected to the driving rod 323.

[0038] For the stability of the up-and-down movement of the moving block 31, the driving mechanism 32 further includes a vertical guiding rod 234, and the moving block 31 is slidably connected to the guiding rod 234. Preferably, the guiding rod 234 includes two, respectively located on both sides of the driving rod 323 and parallel to the driving rod 323. Both ends of the guiding rod 234 are fixed to the fixing frame 321.

[0039] The driving rod 323 is preferably a lead screw, rotatably connected to the fixing frame 321 at both ends. The moving block 31 is sleeved on the driving rod 323 and is in threaded cooperation with the driving rod 323. The first driver 322 is drivingly connected to the upper end of the driving rod 323 through a synchronous belt. The driving rod 323 rotates around its own axis under the drive of the first driver 322, and the moving block 31 is lifted or lowered through the relationship of threaded cooperation.

[0040] Two limiting devices 5 are fixed to the fixing frame 321 and are located on one side of the driving mechanism 32, arranged in a horizontal and perpendicular direction to the bearing platform 2. The limiting touch plate 6 is correspondingly fixed to the side of the moving block 31 close to the limiting device 5.

[0041] The bearing platform 2 is preferably plate-shaped, and one side of it is fixed to the moving block 31. For the stability after the wine bottle is placed, a tray 8 is provided on the bearing platform 2. A stepped and tapered card slot 81 is provided at the top of the tray 8 for placing wine bottles of different thicknesses, and at the same time plays a centering role to make the wine bottle directly below the center of the soft light cover 1.

[0042] In another embodiment, a tray 8 is also provided on the bearing platform 2, but no card slot 81 is provided at the top of the tray 8. Instead, a plurality of clamping feet are slidably connected. The plurality of clamping feet are arranged circumferentially and are used to jointly clamp the bottom of the bottle. While fixing the wine bottle, the wine bottle is aligned directly below the soft light cover 1. The plurality of clamping feet are evenly arranged circumferentially and can slide or move away from the center of the formed ring. Among them, a spring may be provided between the plurality of clamping feet and the tray 8 to provide the force for clamping the wine bottle, or a driver such as a motor is used to provide the force for the sliding of the plurality of clamping feet.

[0043] To achieve the intelligence of wine bottle detection, the tray 8 is rotatably connected to the bearing platform 2 and can be horizontally rotated under the drive of a second driver (not shown in the figure), so that the label on the bottle cap or seal rotates its position, enabling the camera of the wine bottle label information acquisition device to capture the label and take an image, without the need for manual alignment of the wine bottle.

[0044] A wine bottle detection and positioning system provided by the utility model can lift the wine bottle through the lifting device 3, and make the wine bottle stop at a specified height through the positioning device 4. Additionally, through the safety device 7 and the limit device 5, it can prevent the wine bottle or the carrier table 2 from rising excessively, resulting in a collision accident with the soft light cover 1 or other mechanisms above it. During the detection process, little or no manual participation is required, that is, just place the wine bottle on the carrier table 2, achieving automatic and accurate positioning and safety protection for wine bottle detection, reducing manual operations, and improving the detection efficiency.
