[0024] In the filling process of the wine filling machine 21, the controller determines the synchronization of the beer bottle according to the encoder 10 and the synchronous photoelectric switch 5, when the metal detector 6 detects that there is metallic substance in the beer bottle, the metal detector 6 triggers a signal and feeds back to the controller, and the confirmation photoelectric switch 7 confirms, and the remover 18 automatically removes the beer with metallic substance, the wine filling machine metal pipe automatic detection system can detect whether the wine bottle contains the metal pipe in time and remove it, avoid stopping the production line to check one by one, effectively improve the production efficiency, and improve the product quality.
[0025] In the embodiment, a confirmation photoelectric switch 7 is arranged on one side of the third conveying belt 3 between the metal detector 6 and the ejector 18, and the confirmation photoelectric switch 7 is electrically connected with the controller. The position of the wine bottle containing the metal tube is confirmed through the confirmation photoelectric switch 7, so that the ejector 18 can accurately eject the wine bottle containing the metal tube.
[0026] In the first embodiment, the ejector 18 is a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder or an electric push rod, and the ejector 18 is electrically connected with the controller. One end of the ejector 18 in contact with the beer bottle is provided with a push plate 19, and one side of the push plate 19 is provided with a soft material 20, which can be a rubber pad. When the push plate 19 pushes the wine bottle, the soft material 20 can avoid rigid contact between the push plate 19 and the wine bottle, and can prevent damage to the wine bottle during the process of pushing the wine bottle. When the wine bottle containing the metal tube moves to one side of the ejector 18, the ejector 18 pushes the wine bottle containing the metal tube to other conveying belts of the multi-row chain conveying belt 4 through the push plate 19, and then the wine bottle is conveyed to other positions through the conveying belt, so as to facilitate the operator to take out the metal tube.
[0027] In the second embodiment, the ejector 18 includes a base 8 and a first pneumatic cylinder 11 installed on the top of the base 8. The output end of the first pneumatic cylinder 11 is provided with a second pneumatic cylinder 12 located directly above the multi-row chain conveying belt 4, and the output end of the second pneumatic cylinder 12 is provided with a clamping frame 13. A bottle clamp 14 is rotatably arranged in the clamping frame 13, and the second pneumatic cylinder 12 is electrically connected with the controller. When the wine bottle containing the metal tube moves to one side of the ejector 18, the controller controls the output end of the second pneumatic cylinder 12 to extend and clamp the wine bottle containing the metal tube, and then clamps the wine bottle. The controller controls the output end of the first pneumatic cylinder 11 to extend, and then moves the wine bottle to above other conveying belts of the multi-row chain conveying belt 4. Then the wine bottle is placed on the multi-row chain conveying belt 4 through the second pneumatic cylinder 12, and then is conveyed to a designated position through other conveying belts of the multi-row chain conveying belt 4, so as to facilitate the operator to take out the metal tube.

[0029] In the embodiment, a torque spring 17 for resetting is arranged on the rotating shaft of the bottle clamp 14. When the electromagnet 16 loses magnetism after being de-energized, the lower branch of the bottle clamp 14 is loosened under the action of the torque spring 17, the wine bottle is placed on other positions of the multi-row chain conveying belt, and is reset for the next clamping.
[0030] In the embodiment, the bottom of each of the two lower branches of the bottle clamp 14 is provided with an arc-shaped plate 9. When clamping, the wine bottle is clamped by the arc-shaped plate 9 on the lower branch of the bottle clamp 14. The arc surface of the arc-shaped plate 9 is adapted to the circumferential surface of the wine bottle, so as to increase the contact area between the bottle clamp 14 and the wine bottle and enhance the firmness when the bottle clamp 14 clamps the wine bottle. The inner side of the arc-shaped plate 9 is provided with a soft material 20, so that the arc-shaped plate 9 and the wine bottle are in flexible contact, avoiding damage to the wine bottle caused by the arc-shaped plate 9 when clamping the wine bottle.
