[0021] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. By setting a light transmitter and a light receiver on the hopper, when the bottles in the hopper no longer block the light receiver from receiving the light signal, it means that the number of bottles in the hopper is small. At this time, the buzzer sounds to remind the operator to add bottles in time to avoid idling of the bottle unscrambler and ensure that the working time is fully utilized.

[0023] 2. By providing a protective shell, the hollow tubes are all located in the corresponding protective shell, and the protective shell prevents foreign objects or external forces from touching the light receiver or light transmitter, thereby increasing the service life of the light receiver and the light transmitter.
