DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.
[0022] With reference to Figure 1 - Figure 3 An embodiment provided by the utility model: a beverage bottle sorting device, the inner side of the weighing base plate 13 is provided with a weighing sensor 23, the weighing base plate 13 mainly plays the role of supporting and bearing the whole device, provides a stable base plane for the device, ensures the stability and balance of the whole sorting device in the working process, and the weighing sensor 23 is an important detection component of the device, which can accurately measure the weight of the beverage bottle placed on the device, the top of the outer wall of the beverage bottle is fixedly connected with a turnover frame 14, the weighing sensor 23 is connected with the turnover frame 14, so that the weight information of the beverage bottle placed on the electric cylinder 19 can be accurately measured and transmitted, providing the basis for subsequent sorting operation, for example, when the beverage bottle is overweight due to excessive liquid remaining in the beverage bottle, corresponding processing can be carried out according to the measurement data of the weighing sensor 23, so as to avoid affecting the subsequent sorting process or causing damage to the equipment.
[0023] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The center of the inner wall of the rear end of the turnover frame 14 is provided with a turnover middle proximity switch 24, the turnover middle proximity switch 24 is a position detection element, which is located at the center position of the inner wall of the rear end of the turnover frame 14, and is mainly used for detecting the initial position or intermediate position state of the turnover mechanism, which can monitor whether the turnover mechanism is in the normal intermediate position during the operation of the whole sorting device, when the turnover mechanism starts to work and completes a sorting operation, and needs to be turned back to the initial state, the turnover middle proximity switch 24 can detect whether the turnover mechanism accurately returns to the center position, so as to ensure the accuracy of the working position of the whole device, thereby ensuring that the next sorting operation can be normally carried out, the inner wall of the left side of the turnover frame 14 is provided with a turnover left proximity switch 28, the function of the turnover left proximity switch 28 is to detect the limit position of the left turning of the turnover mechanism, when the turnover motor 16 drives the turnover mechanism to turn left, the turnover left proximity switch 28 can sense whether the turnover trigger plate 17 or the whole turnover mechanism reaches the preset limit position of the left turning, once reaching, a signal is sent to make the turnover motor 16 stop rotating or execute the next operation, preventing the device from being damaged due to excessive turning, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the sorting operation, and ensuring that the beverage bottle can be accurately poured into the corresponding collection or transmission channel on the left side.
[0024] Further, the rear end of the turnover frame 14 is provided with a turnover trigger plate 17, which is a key trigger component closely related to the rotation and turnover of the turnover motor 16. When the turnover motor 16 drives the entire turnover mechanism to move, the turnover trigger plate 17 will rotate and trigger different proximity switches to control the angle and position of the turnover. For example, during the sorting process, when it is necessary to pour a certain type of beverage bottle to the left or right, the turnover trigger plate 17 will reach the position of the corresponding proximity switch during the turnover process, triggering the corresponding switch to control the turnover motor 16 to stop rotating or change the direction of rotation, thereby achieving accurate pouring operation of the beverage bottle,
[0025] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the inner wall on the right side of the turnover frame 14 is provided with a turnover right proximity switch 27, which is similar to the turnover left proximity switch 28, but it is used to detect the limit position of the turnover mechanism turning to the right. When the turnover mechanism turns to the right, the turnover right proximity switch 27 will sense the position of the turnover trigger plate 17, and when it reaches the predetermined position, it will send a signal to stop the entire turnover process or perform subsequent operations, ensuring that the beverage bottle can be accurately poured into the corresponding channel on the right side, providing accurate position control for the right side sorting of the beverage bottle, ensuring the reliability of the sorting operation. The side wall at the rear end of the turnover frame 14 is fixedly connected with a cover 15, which mainly plays a protective role. It covers the side wall at the top end of the right side of the turnover frame 14. On the one hand, it can prevent foreign matter or beverage bottles from entering the interior of the turnover mechanism, protecting the internal components and avoiding damage to the components. On the other hand, it also ensures the smoothness of the beverage bottle transmission channel, improves the safety and service life of the entire device,
[0026] With reference to Figure 1 - Figure 3The inner wall of the rear end of the turnover frame 14 is fixedly connected with a turnover motor 16, which is the power source of the entire turnover mechanism and provides power for driving the turnover mechanism to perform the turnover action. After receiving the sorting instruction, the turnover motor 16 will start to work and transmit power through the output shaft to drive the rear roller mounting plate 25 and the components connected thereto to rotate, thereby realizing the turnover operation of the beverage bottle. The beverage bottle can be turned left or right according to different sorting conditions, such as bottle type, weight, etc., and then accurately guided into different channels to complete the turnover action in the beverage bottle sorting process. The turnover motor 16 is the core driving component. The front end output shaft of the turnover motor 16 is fixedly connected with a coupling 26, which is a connecting component and serves to connect the turnover motor 16 and the rear roller mounting plate 25. It stably transmits the power of the turnover motor 16 to the rear roller mounting plate 25, while allowing a certain degree of shaft offset and angular deviation to ensure the stability and reliability of power transmission. Through the connection of the coupling 26, the rotational force output by the turnover motor 16 can effectively drive the rear roller mounting plate 25 and the components thereon to rotate, avoiding vibration, jamming or power loss in the power transmission process due to unstable connection, and ensuring smooth operation of the entire turnover system.
[0027] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 3The rotating central shaft of the coupling 26 is fixedly connected with the rear roller mounting plate 25, and the rear roller mounting plate 25 is a mounting base component of the electric roller 19. It provides a stable mounting position for the electric roller 19, so that the electric roller 19 can be correctly installed and positioned thereon. Meanwhile, the rear roller mounting plate 25 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 22, which ensures that it can receive power from the turnover motor 16 to drive the electric roller 19 to rotate or overturn. It is an important intermediate structure for converting motor power into overturning action. The surface of the rear roller mounting plate 25 is fixedly connected with two groups of electric rollers 19. The electric roller 19 is an important component for rotating the beverage bottle on the device. When the beverage bottle is placed on the electric roller 19, the electric roller 19 will rotate under the driving of the motor power itself, so that the beverage bottle can roll thereon, facilitating the identification of the bottle type and the subsequent overturning operation. During the sorting process, the rotation of the electric roller 19 can cooperate with the action of the overturning mechanism to ensure that the beverage bottle can be smoothly overturned and poured. It is a key component for realizing the transmission and position adjustment of the beverage bottle in the sorting device. The end of the electric roller 19 away from the rear roller mounting plate 25 is fixedly connected with the front roller mounting plate 20. The front roller mounting plate 20 and the rear roller mounting plate 25 jointly support and fix the electric roller 19, so that it maintains a stable structure. It cooperates with the rear roller mounting plate 25 to ensure that the two ends of the electric roller 19 are firmly installed, preventing displacement of the electric roller 19 during rotation. At the same time, it also provides an accurate mounting position and support for the electric roller 19, ensuring that the rotating shaft of the electric roller 19 is in the correct position, so that the beverage bottle can roll and pour smoothly thereon.
[0028] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotating central shaft of the front roller mounting plate 20 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 22. The rotating shaft 22 provides rotating support for the front roller mounting plate 20, so that the front roller mounting plate 20 can rotate around the rotating shaft 22. It connects the front roller mounting plate 20 and the entire electric roller 19 assembly with other components of the overturning mechanism, so that the electric roller 19 can rotate with the entire overturning mechanism during overturning, ensuring the integrity and coordination of the entire structure. It is a key connecting component for realizing the rotation of the entire electric roller 19 assembly. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 22 is provided with a vertical bearing seat 21. The vertical bearing seat 21 is mainly used to support the rotating shaft 22, which bears the radial and axial load of the rotating shaft 22, ensuring that the rotating shaft 22 can stably run during rotation, reducing friction and wear. Through the support of the vertical bearing seat 21 to the rotating shaft 22, the rotating shaft 22 can rotate smoothly when driving the front roller mounting plate 20 and the electric roller 19 to rotate, reducing vibration and resistance during rotation, and improving the working efficiency and service life of the entire overturning mechanism.
[0029] Working principle: first, the beverage bottle is placed on the electric roller 19 carried by the weighing bottom plate 13, which provides stable support for the whole device and ensures stability during work, while the weighing sensor 23 installed on the inner side wall of the weighing bottom plate 13 starts to work, which accurately measures the weight of the beverage bottle and transmits the weight information, when the beverage bottle is placed and the weight detection is completed, the turnover mechanism starts to work, the turnover motor 16 as the power source of the turnover mechanism is fixed on the inner wall of the top end of the turnover frame 14, when receiving the sorting instruction, the turnover motor 16 starts to work, through the output shaft and the coupling 26, the power is transmitted to the rotating shaft 22, the coupling 26 not only smoothly transmits the power, but also allows a certain degree of shaft offset and angle deviation, which ensures the stability of power transmission.
[0030] The rotating shaft 22 and the front roller mounting plate 20 and the rear roller mounting plate 25 drive the two groups of electric rollers 19 to rotate, and the electric rollers 19 make the beverage bottles roll on their surfaces, which is convenient for subsequent operation, at the same time, the turnover trigger plate 17 closely related to the rotation of the turnover motor 16 rotates with the turnover mechanism, when the beverage bottle needs to be poured to the left or right according to the bottle type and other sorting conditions, the turnover trigger plate 17 will reach the corresponding proximity switch position in the rotation process.
[0031] For example, when turning to the left, the turnover motor 16 drives the turnover mechanism to rotate to the left, and the turnover trigger plate 17 moves to the left, the turnover left proximity switch 28 installed on the left inner wall of the turnover frame 14 can sense whether the turnover trigger plate 17 or the whole turnover mechanism reaches the preset left turning limit position, once it reaches, the turnover left proximity switch 28 sends a signal to control the turnover motor 16 to stop rotating or execute the next operation, which prevents the device from being damaged by excessive turning and ensures that the beverage bottle is accurately poured into the left corresponding collection or transmission channel.
[0032] Similarly, the turnover right proximity switch 27 is used to detect the limit position of the turnover mechanism turning to the right, which ensures that the beverage bottle can be correctly poured into the corresponding channel on the right side, while the turnover middle proximity switch 24 is located at the center of the right inner wall of the turnover frame 14, which is used to detect the initial position or intermediate position state of the turnover mechanism, when the sorting operation is completed, the turnover mechanism needs to return to the initial state, the turnover middle proximity switch 24 detects whether it returns to the center position accurately, which ensures the accuracy of the working position of the device, so that the next sorting operation can be carried out normally.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application has been described in detail, for the skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or for part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, the spirit and principles of the present application, made any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
