[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model discloses a bottle screening device for a high-speed beer bottling production line, comprising a conveyor belt 100, an automatic pushing mechanism 200 and a material receiving mechanism 300, wherein the automatic pushing mechanism 200 is arranged on one side of the conveyor belt 100, and the automatic pushing mechanism 200 is provided with a push plate 210 and a reciprocating component 201, and the reciprocating component 201 controls the push plate 210 to reciprocate along the width direction of the conveyor belt 100; the push plate 210 is arranged as an arc structure; the material receiving mechanism 300 is arranged on the other side of the conveyor belt 100; and a material receiving trough 310 is arranged obliquely downward.
[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the conveyor belt 100 is used to convey beer bottles 700. The conveyor belt 100 is arranged behind the inspection station. The inspection station is provided with a CCD high-speed camera and a controller. The CCD high-speed camera can quickly collect the appearance information of the beer bottle 700 and compare it with the pictures pre-stored in the database. When a defective product appears, the controller transmits a signal to the automatic pushing mechanism 200 and controls the pushing mechanism to perform delayed work. When it is calculated that the defective product passes through the automatic pushing mechanism 200, the automatic pushing mechanism 200 starts to move; the automatic pushing mechanism 200 is arranged on one side of the conveyor belt 100, and the automatic pushing mechanism 200 is provided with a push plate 210 and a reciprocating component 201. The reciprocating component 201 controls the push plate 210 to reciprocate along the width direction of the conveyor belt 100; the push plate 210 is arranged into an arc structure; the material receiving trough 310 is arranged on the other side of the conveyor belt 100; and the material receiving trough 310 is arranged tilted downward. When a defective product passes through the automatic push mechanism 200, the push plate 210, driven by the reciprocating assembly 201, enters the defective product's path and pushes it into the receiving trough 310. In this solution, the curved push plate 210 prevents slippage during push. This mechanism automatically removes defective products from the production line, achieving a high degree of automation, reducing the probability of false detection or missed detection, and improving production efficiency.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reciprocating assembly 201 includes a servo motor 220, a track cam 230, a push rod 240 and a mounting base 250, the track cam 230 and the mounting base 250 are rotatably connected, the servo motor 220 and the mounting base 250 are connected, the output shaft of the servo motor 220 is connected to the track cam 230, the push rod 240 is slidably set on the mounting base 250 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 100, one end of the push rod 240 abuts the track cam 230, and the other end of the push rod 240 is connected to the push plate 210. Specifically, in this embodiment, the servo motor 220 is electrically connected to the controller of the inspection station, and the position of defective products on the conveyor belt 100 is located via a counter or photoelectric sensor 600. When it is calculated and detected that a defective product is about to pass through the automatic push mechanism 200, the servo motor 220 drives the track cam 230 to rotate one revolution. The track cam 230 controls the ejector rod 240 to complete an extension and retraction action. Furthermore, the push plate 210 connected to the ejector rod 240 pushes the defective product off the conveyor belt 100 and drops it into the material receiving mechanism 300. This structural design achieves a high degree of automation. The track cam 230 design allows the cam shape to be designed as needed to achieve speed control of the ejector rod 240.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reciprocating assembly 201 includes a linear bearing 260 and a return spring 270. A limit block 241 is provided on the push rod 240. The return spring 270 is sleeved on the push rod 240. One end of the return spring 270 abuts the limit block 241, and the other end of the return spring 270 abuts the linear bearing 260. Specifically, the return spring 270 can ensure that the push rod 240 abuts the track cam 230, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the control of the push rod 240.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, a groove 231 is provided at the outer edge of the track cam 230, and a protrusion 242 is provided at one end of the push rod 240 abutting the track cam 230. In this embodiment, the groove 231 and the protrusion 242 can prevent the push rod 240 from separating from the track cam 230.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the center of the push plate 210 is located near the center of gravity of the bottle. Specifically, in this embodiment, the center of the push plate 210 is located between 0.45H and 0.65H vertically from the bottom of the bottle, where H is the total height of the bottle. This structural design ensures that when the push plate 210 pushes defective products, the defective products can be stably removed from the conveyor belt 100.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, an elastic layer is provided on the push plate 210. Since the push plate 210 moves relatively quickly, it exerts a relatively large force on defective products. By providing the elastic layer on the push plate 210, the impact force exerted by the push plate 210 on the defective products can be reduced. In this embodiment, the elastic layer can be made of a material such as polyolefin elastomer (POE) or rubber, which has high elasticity, high toughness, and high elongation, effectively forming a soft contact and reducing the impact force.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, an alignment mechanism 400 is further included. The alignment mechanism 400 is provided with a synchronization component 410 on both sides of the conveyor belt 100. The synchronization component 410 includes a first synchronization wheel 411, a second synchronization wheel 412 and a synchronization belt 413. The rotation axes of the first synchronization wheel 411 and the second synchronization wheel 412 are both vertically arranged, and the two ends of the synchronization belt 413 are respectively mounted on the first synchronization wheel 411 and the second synchronization wheel 412. In this embodiment, when the beer bottle 700 enters the conveyor belt 100, in order to ensure that the beer bottle 700 is located at the center of the conveyor belt 100, the position of the beer bottle 700 is adjusted by setting an alignment mechanism 400. Specifically, in this embodiment, the alignment mechanism 400 is provided with synchronization components 410 on both sides of the conveyor belt 100, and the synchronization belts 413 of the two synchronization components 410 are at the same distance relative to the central axis of the conveyor belt 100. In this embodiment, the rotation speed of the two synchronization components 410 is the same, and the rotation speed of the synchronization component 410 is equal to the speed of the conveyor belt 100. The distance between the two synchronization belts 413 is less than or equal to the diameter of the beer bottle 700. Through the design of this structure, it can be ensured that the beer bottle 700 is located at the center of the conveyor belt 100, thereby facilitating the automatic pushing mechanism 200 to push defective products.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the alignment mechanism 400 includes a lifting adjustment assembly 420, which includes a first lifting rod 421, a second lifting rod 422, a first lifting seat 423, and a second lifting seat 424. The lower end of the first lifting rod 421 is adjustably connected to the first lifting seat 423, and the upper end of the first lifting rod 421 is rotatably connected to the first synchronous wheel 411. The lower end of the second lifting rod 422 is adjustably connected to the second lifting seat 424, and the upper end of the second lifting rod 422 is rotatably connected to the second synchronous wheel 412. By providing the first lifting rod 421 and the second lifting rod 422, the vertical heights of the first synchronous wheel 411 and the second synchronous wheel 412 can be adjusted, thereby ensuring that the heights of the synchronous belts 413 on both sides are the same, ensuring stable clamping of the beer bottle 700.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, a stop bar 500 is provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 100. In this embodiment, since the width of the conveyor belt 100 is relatively narrow, in order to prevent the conveyor belt 100 from shaking and causing the beer bottles 700 to fall when a malfunction occurs while the conveyor belt 100 is transporting the beer bottles 700, the stop bar 500 is provided in this embodiment to prevent the beer bottles 700 from falling directly to the ground.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, a photoelectric sensor 600 is provided at the input end of the conveyor belt 100. By providing the photoelectric sensor 600, it is possible to detect the passing signal of the beer bottles 700 and count them, thereby determining the position of defective products on the conveyor belt 100.
[0044] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
