Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bottle cap buckle effect detection equipment, specifically a device for detecting and rejecting abnormalities in beer bottle cap buckles. Background Technology

[0002] The existing Chinese patent document CN218907864U discloses a device for stopping a probiotic bottle capping machine that leaks film. It proposes that a detection mechanism and a film suction mechanism are fixedly installed on the top of the conveying mechanism. In this invention, during use, the detection mechanism is first installed at a station after the film-feeding station (several stations before the heat-sealing station). Through a fiber optic photoelectric sensor, the abnormal signal of a PP bottle without film is promptly transmitted to the equipment's PLC. Upon receiving the signal, the equipment can stop immediately, sound an alarm at the alarm light, and display the reason for the stop on the operation screen, allowing workshop operators to promptly investigate and handle the issue, preventing abnormal bottle openings from flowing into the next process.

[0003] The above-mentioned solutions and existing technologies play a crucial role in the quality of beer bottles. If the bottle caps are not properly fastened, microorganisms can enter the bottle and contaminate the beer. If the cap model is incorrect, it can lead to production rework. If there is no defect rejection function, defective products will enter the market. The detection devices are assembled in a decentralized manner in terms of hardware, and in terms of function, they have problems such as visual positioning failure, poor detection of double cap fastening, and lack of defect rejection function, which cannot meet the actual use needs.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a device for detecting and rejecting abnormalities in beer bottle cap buckles to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
