[0018] To make the structure and advantages of the present invention more clear, the structure of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] A wine bottle ribbon into the box orientation device, see attached Figure 1 As shown, it includes a horizontal conveyor belt, a rotating guide frame, a gripper and a protective cover. The horizontal conveyor belt transports wine bottles arranged continuously and spaced apart at a uniform speed along a horizontal straight line direction. A streamer is connected to one radial side of the bottle mouth of the wine bottle. A rotating guide frame with an annular structure is provided on one side of the horizontal conveyor belt. The rotating guide frame is tangentially arranged to the horizontal conveyor belt.

[0020] A plurality of grippers are connected in a ring shape along the rotating guide frame. The grippers move along the rotating guide frame at a uniform speed. The movement speed of the grippers is the same as the conveying speed of the wine bottles. Each gripper can grasp one wine bottle.

[0021] See attached Figure 2 As shown, the gripper includes a guide rod, a guide frame, a vertical rod, a positioning rod and a sheath. The guide rod is vertically fixed on the outer periphery of the rotating guide frame. The guide frame is slidably connected to the guide rod. The guide frame can move up and down along the guide rod. A vertically arranged vertical rod is fixed at the lower end of the guide frame, and a gripper chuck is coaxially fixed at the lower end of the vertical rod (not shown in the figure, the gripper chuck can adopt the bottle mouth gripper chuck structure of the existing technology); a positioning rod is connected to the upper end of the guide frame, and the positioning rod extends horizontally to the inner side of the rotating guide frame and is slidably connected to the slope track in the rotating guide frame; when the gripper rotates along the rotating guide frame, the positioning rod is restricted by the slope track to drive the gripper to move up and down.

[0022] In order to ensure the accurate position of the wine bottle in the box, a protective sleeve is fixedly installed at the lower end of the outer periphery of each gripper. Specifically, a seat is fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the lower end of the vertical pole, and the lower end of the seat is fixedly connected to the sleeve. The sleeve is a rounded rectangular cylindrical structure, and arc guide plates are provided at the positions corresponding to the four corners inside the wine box. The arc guide plate corresponding to one corner of the ribbon is set as a long corner guard, and the other triangles are set as short corner guards.

[0023] See attached Figure 3 To ensure consistent orientation of the ribbons on the bottles and facilitate directional grabbing of the sheaths, an identification component and a bottle rotation component are installed on the horizontal conveyor belt before the input end of the rotating guide frame. These components automatically identify the orientation of the ribbons on the bottles and rotate the bottles to align the ribbons.

[0024] The recognition component includes a camera and a light source. The camera is fixed by a bracket directly above the horizontal conveyor belt, and a ring-shaped LED light source is installed below the camera to ensure uniform lighting. The recognition component transmits the captured image signal to the controller of the bottle spinner assembly. The controller calculates the required rotation angle and converts it into a control signal to send to the bottle spinner's drive mechanism.

[0025] The bottle rotating assembly includes a bottle rotating drive mechanism and side belts. The side belts are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the horizontal conveyor belt. The side belts are driven and connected to the bottle rotating drive mechanism. The side belts on both sides can contact the bottle body at the same time. The different speeds of the side belts cause the wine bottle to rotate, thereby adjusting the direction of the ribbon.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] Combined with the orientation of the ribbon in the previous process, after the bottle grabbing mechanism grabs the bottle, it is placed into the process and removed from the fixture under the protection of a special sheath, and the ribbon always remains in its original state.

[0028] Through the actual test mechanism, the bottle is grabbed and put into the box, and the clamp leaves, and the movement is repeated many times to verify the reliability of the effect.

[0029] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
