For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below.

[0040] Referring to Figures 1-4 , the present embodiment provides a bottle opening cleaning device, which comprises a conveying line 1 and a cleaning mechanism 2.

[0041] The conveying line 1 comprises a cleaning station 11 and a crack detection station 12, and wine bottles are arranged at intervals on the conveying line 1 and can pass through the cleaning station 11 and the crack detection station 12 one by one. The conveying direction of the conveying line 1 is from left to right.

[0042] The cleaning mechanism 2 is arranged above the cleaning station 11 and is used for cleaning the circumferential outer wall of the wine bottle opening in 360 degrees; the cleaning mechanism 2 can move up and down and move left and right. The up-down movement and left-right movement of the cleaning mechanism 2 can be realized, for example, by arranging multiple groups of sliding rails and sliding blocks (not shown in the figure) in multiple directions.

[0043] The right-moving speed of the cleaning mechanism 2 is consistent with the conveying speed of the conveying line 1, so that the cleaning of the bottle opening can be realized while the wine bottles are continuously conveyed, and the efficiency is high.

[0044] The crack detection station 12 is provided with an image acquisition mechanism (not shown in the figure), which is used for acquiring real-time image data of the bottle opening in 360 degrees.

[0045] In the above scheme, before the image acquisition mechanism acquires the real-time image data of the bottle mouth, the cleaning mechanism 2 first cleans the outer wall of the bottle mouth of the wine bottle to remove fine and long soft foreign matters such as hair, so as to avoid misjudgment caused by identifying these foreign matters as crack defects. Then, the real-time image data of the bottle mouth is acquired through the image acquisition mechanism, and whether the bottle mouth has crack defects is distinguished by processing and analyzing the real-time image data. When the bottle mouth has crack defects, the corresponding wine bottle is rejected from the conveying line 1. Through the above scheme, the misjudgment is reduced, and the accuracy of the detection and identification of the crack defects of the wine bottle mouth is improved.

[0046] The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a support disc 21, a hollow ring 22, an extension arm 23, a hanging arm 24 and a spray head 25.

[0047] The support disc 21 has a cavity 211 in the inside, a gas inlet head 212 connected with the cavity 211 is connected to the top, and an annular groove 213 is arranged on the side wall. The bottom of the annular groove 213 is provided with a ventilation hole 214 communicated with the cavity 211. The support disc 21 can move a distance to the right synchronously with the wine bottle on the cleaning station 11.

[0048] The hollow ring 22 is rotationally arranged in the annular groove 213, and the inner side of the hollow ring 22 has an annular notch 221 communicated with the ventilation hole 214. The hollow ring 22 can rotate relative to the support disc 21.

[0049] The extension arm 23 is transversely arranged, and one end of the extension arm 23 is connected with the outer side of the hollow ring 22. The extension arm 23 has a first channel 231 in the inside.

[0050] The hanging arm 24 is vertically arranged, and the upper end of the hanging arm 24 is connected with the lower side of the extension arm 23. The hanging arm 24 has a second channel 241 in the inside.

[0051] The spray head 25 is connected to the hanging arm 24, and the outlet of the spray head 25 faces the axis of the support disc 21. Two spray heads 25 are symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the support disc 21.

[0052] In the embodiment, the air inlet head 212, the cavity 211, the air vent hole 214, the hollow ring 22, the first channel 231, the second channel 241 and the spray head 25 are sequentially communicated. After the moving cleaning mechanism 2 moves the spray head 25 to the bottle mouth of the wine bottle, the cleaning mechanism 2 is moved rightward synchronously with the wine bottle, the air inlet head 212 is connected with the external air source, the hollow ring 22 drives the extension arm 23, the hanging arm 24 and the spray head 25 to rotate, and the 360-degree airflow sprayed by the two spray heads 25 is used to clean the outer wall of the bottle mouth of the wine bottle. Specifically, when the wine bottle moves to the left side of the cleaning station 11, the cleaning mechanism 2 is moved downward, the two spray heads 25 are positioned (the two spray heads 25 are symmetrically distributed on the two sides of the bottle mouth of the wine bottle), then the cleaning mechanism 2 is moved rightward at a speed consistent with the conveying speed (the rightward moving speed of the wine bottle) of the conveying line 1, and in this process, the cleaning of the outer wall of the bottle mouth of the wine bottle is completed. After the cleaning is completed, the cleaning mechanism 2 is moved upward and then leftward to reset, so as to perform the next cleaning. The wine bottle after the bottle mouth is cleaned is moved to the crack detection station 12 to perform crack detection.

[0053] In other embodiments, other ways can also be used to realize the connection between the spray head 25 and the hollow ring 22 and the connection between the air inlet head 212 and the spray head 25.

[0054] The lower side of the support disc 21 is provided with a position sensor for detecting whether the bottle mouth of the wine bottle moves to a specified position, or a detection camera 26 for detecting the real-time position of the bottle mouth of the wine bottle. When the detection camera 26 captures that the bottle mouth of the wine bottle on the conveying line 1 moves to the left side of the cleaning station 11, the corresponding external power device is driven by the matching control center to move the support disc 21 downward, and when the two spray heads 25 are positioned (the two spray heads 25 are symmetrically distributed on the two sides of the bottle mouth of the wine bottle), the cleaning mechanism 2 is moved rightward synchronously with the corresponding wine bottle, so that the outer wall of the bottle mouth of the wine bottle is cleaned by the two spray heads 25 which can rotate around the bottle mouth all the time before the wine bottle enters the crack detection station 12.

[0055] In order to facilitate the rotation of the hollow ring 22 relative to the support disc 21, the driving pipe 27 is further connected to the hanging arm 24, and the driving pipe 27 is in communication with the second channel 241. The driving pipe 27 can rotate with the hanging arm 24, the outlet direction of the driving pipe 27 is tangent to the circular track formed by the rotation of the driving pipe 27, so that the hollow ring 22 is driven to rotate relative to the support disc 21 by the reaction force of the airflow sprayed by the driving pipe 27.

[0056] It can be understood that, by reasonably setting the spacing between the two adjacent wine bottles, the reaction force of the airflow sprayed by the driving pipe 27 can be avoided to affect the adjacent wine bottles.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that: the above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model, for the skilled person in the art, the utility model can have various changes and changes, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments of the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
