[0033] The conception, specific structure and generated technical effect of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with embodiments and drawings to fully understand the purpose, scheme and effect of the utility model.It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.The same reference signs in the drawings indicate the same or similar parts.

[0034] It should be noted that, without special description, when a certain feature is called "fixed" or "connected" to another feature, it can be directly fixed or connected to another feature, or indirectly fixed or connected to another feature.In addition, the up, down, left, right and other descriptions used in the utility model are only relative to the mutual position relationship of the components of the utility model in the drawings.

[0035] Reference Figs. 1 to 3An automatic case-flipping device for beer cap quality inspection is disclosed. It can be used for product quality inspection such as beer capping. The device includes a frame 1 and a conveying mechanism 5, a clamping mechanism 3, a flipping mechanism 4, a lifting mechanism 2, sensors, and a first mounting plate 17 and a second mounting plate arranged opposite each other on the frame 1. The conveying mechanism 5 includes a conveying channel for conveying cases 6 from one end of the channel to the other. The first mounting plate 17 and the second mounting plate are located on opposite sides of the conveying channel. The lifting mechanism 2 drives the first mounting plate 17 and the second mounting plate to move up and down synchronously. The clamping mechanism 3 includes two symmetrically arranged clamping components. Each clamping component has a clamping arm 32 at its closest point and a clamping drive 31 at its furthest point. The two clamping drive 31 are connected to the first mounting plate 17 and the second mounting plate, respectively. The two clamping drive 31 synchronously drive the two clamping arms 32 to move closer or further apart. The sensor detects the box 6 located between the two clamping arms 32. When the two clamping arms 32 are close together, they clamp the box 6, and the box 6 is positioned between the two elastic clamping plates 33. The flipping mechanism 4 drives the two clamping arms 32 to rotate synchronously. The two clamping arms 32 can jointly clamp the box 6 and rotate it synchronously until the upper surface of the box 6 flips 180°.

[0036] When the sensor detects the box 6 being transported between the two clamping arms 32, the two clamping drive members 31 simultaneously drive the two clamping arms 32 to clamp the box 6. When the box 6 is clamped, each of the elastic clamping plates 33 is located between the box 6 and the corresponding clamping arm 32. The elastic clamping plates 33 are made of soft silicone, so they will not damage the appearance of the beer box.

[0037] In this solution, when the box 6 is used to package beer products, after the beer is filled and sealed, it is conveyed in the conveying channel between the two clamping arms 32. The lifting mechanism 2 drives the two clamping arms 32, which are located in a preset original position, to descend synchronously with the first mounting plate 17 and the second mounting plate to a preset appropriate position so that the two elastic clamping plates 33 at the ends of the two clamping arms 32 can clamp the box 6 when they come close to each other. Then, the clamping mechanism 3 is activated to drive the two clamping arms 32 to come close to each other and clamp the box 6 together. That is, the two elastic clamping plates 33 come close to each other with the two clamping arms 32 to clamp the box 6 together. After the two elastic clamping plates 33 clamp the box 6, the flipping mechanism 4 drives the two clamping arms 32 to flip or rotate 180° synchronously, so that the clamped box 6 can be flipped 180°, so that the beer bottles inside the box 6 can be in an inverted state relative to before flipping, thereby helping to check for leaks in the caps of the beer products packaged inside the box 6. After the box 6 is flipped over, the two clamping drive units 31 drive the two clamping arms 32 to move away from each other, releasing the box 6. The box 6 can be transported to the next process by the conveying mechanism 5. At the same time, the lifting mechanism 2 drives the two clamping arms 32 to rise to the initial position along with the first mounting plate 17 and the second mounting plate, waiting for the next beer box 6 to be transported between the two clamping arms 32.

[0038] Specifically, the flipping mechanism 4 includes a flipping drive 41 mounted on the frame 1. The output end of the flipping drive 41 is provided with a flipping shaft 42, which is connected to and used to drive the flipping shaft 42 to rotate. The flipping drive 41 is fixedly mounted on one of the first mounting plate 17 or the second mounting plate, for example, on the first mounting plate 17. Two clamping drive components 31 are respectively fixedly mounted on the flipping shaft 42 at intervals. The output ends of both clamping drive components 31 are provided with telescopic shafts 311, and the output end of each clamping drive component 31 can be connected to both telescopic shafts 311. These two telescopic shafts 311 are parallel and spaced apart, enabling more stable clamping of the box 6. The axes of the flipping shaft 42 and each telescopic shaft 311 are parallel and spaced apart. When the box 6 is flipped 90°, the telescopic shafts 311 are located above or directly above the flipping shaft 42.

[0039] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 5 is a roller conveying mechanism 5, with the conveying channel formed above several rollers.

[0040] Specifically, each clamping assembly further includes a mounting frame 34 corresponding to the clamping drive 31. The two mounting frames 34 are fixed at intervals on the flip shaft 42, and each mounting frame 34 is used to mount the corresponding clamping drive 31. The clamping drive 31 is preferably a cylinder. When the cylinder drives the telescopic shaft 311 to extend or retract, the two elastic clamping plates 33 move closer to or further away from each other.

[0041] The flipping drive 41 is preferably a flipping servo motor. The flipping angle of the carton 6 can be controlled by precisely setting and controlling the rotation angle of the motor-driven flipping shaft 42. When flipping is required, the carton is conveyed to the space between the two clamping arms 32 via the conveyor mechanism 5. The sensor detects the carton 6, and the clamping arms 32 on both sides of the conveyor channel are driven to clamp the carton, flipping it 180°. This helps to check for leaks in beer bottle caps packaged in the carton 6. It reduces the need for manual flipping, effectively lowering safety risks caused by manual flipping, and offers high flipping efficiency. Furthermore, the automatic flipping device for beer bottle cap quality inspection in this solution has a simple structure, is user-friendly, and is easy to maintain.

[0042] Specifically, the top plate 13 includes a first plate 131 and a second plate 132 arranged horizontally. The lifting mechanism 2 includes a lifting drive 21, an average shaft 23, and a lead screw 22. The lead screw 22 is a trapezoidal lead screw 22. The upper end of the average shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the first plate 131, and the lower end is connected to the first mounting plate 17. The upper end of the lead screw 22 rotatably passes through the second plate 132 and is connected to the output end of the lifting drive 21, and the lower end is connected to the second mounting plate. The first mounting plate 17 and the second mounting plate are located on the same horizontal plane and are both parallel to the top plate 13. The lifting drive 21 is preferably a lifting motor. The lifting drive 21 is used to drive the lead screw 22 to rotate. When the lead screw 22 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the distance between the bottom end of the lead screw 22 and the second plate 132 increases or decreases. The second mounting plate can rise and fall synchronously with the bottom end of the lead screw 22, and the first mounting plate 17 and the second mounting plate can rise and fall synchronously. The tilting shaft 42 is located above the conveyor roller 51. One end of the tilting shaft 42 is connected to the tilting drive 41, and the other end is rotatably fixed to the second mounting plate. When the box 6 is clamped and tilted, the box 6 can tilt over the tilting shaft 42. The tilting drive 41 can preferably be a servo motor. When the tilting function is not needed, the lifting mechanism 2 can be activated to raise the tilting drive 41 and the tilting shaft 42, so that the box 6 can pass under the tilting shaft 42.

[0043] Specifically, a triple water-air filter is also installed on the frame 1. The triple water-air filter is used to filter water vapor and to lubricate the cylinders in the air circuit.

[0044] Specifically, the frame 1 is equipped with a gantry frame, which includes a first support column 11 and a second support column 12 arranged parallel and vertically. The top plate 13 is fixedly connected to the upper ends of the first support column 11 and the second support column 12. The lifting drive component 21 is installed on the top plate 13. The first support column 11 and the second support column 12 are respectively located on both sides of the conveying channel. Part of the conveying roller 51 of the conveying mechanism 5 is located between the first support column 11 and the second support column 12. A first plate 131 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the first support column 11, and a second plate 132 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the second support column 12. There is a gap between the first plate 131 and the second plate 132.

[0045] Specifically, the automatic box-flipping device for beer capping quality inspection in this solution also includes two parallel and spaced connecting plates 16. The two ends of each connecting plate 16 are fixedly connected to the sides of the first support column 11 and the second support column 12, respectively. The first support column 11 and the second support column 12 are located between the two connecting plates 16.

[0046] Specifically, the automatic box-turning device for beer capping quality inspection in this solution also includes two symmetrically arranged safety doors. The first support column 11 and the second support column 12 are located between the two safety doors. Each safety door includes two door panels that are respectively hinged to the same side of the first support column 11 and the second support column 12. Both door panels of each safety door can be rotated to the two sides of the conveying channel. Each door panel includes a door panel and a ring-shaped frame fixed to the outer edge of the door panel. The two frames of each safety door are respectively hinged to the first support column 11 and the second support column 12. The door panels are all made of transparent material. Before the box 6 is turned over, each door panel is rotated to the outside of the conveying channel. The safety doors can prevent the box 6 from falling during the operation of the equipment and endangering the operator, thus protecting the operator. When the equipment is running, both pairs of doors open and are located on both sides of the conveying channel. Before entering the two clamping arms 32, the beer box passes between the two doors of a safety guard door. All four doors form a baffle structure, which can effectively prevent material splashing, reduce noise and vibration, and protect the safety of operators. Among them, the transparent door panels are conducive to observing the box-turning process.

[0047] Specifically, maintenance and inspection ports 15 can be opened on the first support column 11 and / or the second support column 12 to facilitate internal maintenance, loosening and disassembling of screws, etc.

[0048] Specifically, the bottom of the frame 1 is provided with several foot supports 14 for supporting the roller conveyor mechanism 5.

[0049] In use, the bottled and capped finished beer is packaged in cardboard boxes and conveyed via conveyor 5 to the automatic case-turning device for beer capping quality inspection. Before entering the automatic case-turning device, the beer boxes pass through a safety gate. This safety gate effectively prevents material splashing, improves equipment maintenance and repair efficiency, reduces noise and vibration, and protects operator safety. The beer boxes then enter the automatic case-turning equipment via conveyor rollers, which are supported by several foot supports 14 to ensure they do not fall or shift. When a beer carton enters between the two support columns of the frame 1 of the automatic carton-flipping device used for beer capping quality inspection, a photoelectric sensor electrically connected to the clamping drive unit detects the carton and triggers the clamping process. At this time, the two lifting drive units 21 drive the two clamping arms 32 to descend to a suitable height along with the first mounting plate 17 and the second mounting plate. The clamping drive units on the left and right sides drive the two clamping arms 32 to clamp the beer carton. Since the elastic clamping plates 33 on the left and right clamping arms 32 are made of soft silicone, clamping the beer carton will not damage its appearance. After clamping, there is a 0.5-second delay before the flipping process is executed. The flipping drive unit 41 rotates the flipping shaft 42, thereby flipping the carton. The rotation angle of the flipping shaft 42 can be precisely set to control the flipping angle of the carton, making the force and speed of flipping the carton balanced and stable. After the flipping angle is reached, the clamping drive unit is triggered to drive the two clamping arms 32 away from each other, and the carton 6 can flow into the next process along the rotation direction of the conveyor roller 51. After the two clamping arms 32 move away from each other, after a 1-second delay, the lifting mechanism 2 drives the first mounting plate 17 and the second mounting plate to raise the two clamping arms 32 to the initial position to wait for the next beer box to be delivered. The above-mentioned box-flipping process can be automatically and continuously executed multiple times. The two ends of the conveying channel are the first end 52 and the second end 53, respectively. The conveying mechanism 5 can transport the box 6 from the first end 52 to the second end 53. The clamping mechanism 3 is located between the first end 52 and the second end 53. A blockage photoelectric sensor is provided at the second end 53 to detect the blockage of the box 6. If the box 6 is blocked at the second end 53, the blockage photoelectric sensor returns a signal, causing the flipping mechanism 4 to pause. It can also pause the placement or delivery of the box 6 to the first end 52 according to the actual situation. After the blockage is cleared, the flipping will automatically resume.

[0050] Other aspects of the automatic box-flipping device for beer capping quality inspection described in this utility model are found in the prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
