[0002] During the production process of glass bottles, in order to detect whether there are appearance defects such as bubbles and stones in the finished glass bottles, it is necessary to take 360-degree photos for all-round inspection.
[0003] Currently, all manufacturers use photoelectric sensors and encoders for taking pictures on glass bottle inspection machines. This means that photoelectric sensors and encoders are installed on the conveyor line. When a glass bottle on the conveyor line triggers the photoelectric sensor, after a certain number of encoder rows, the PLC outputs a signal to trigger the camera to take a picture.
[0004] For glass bottle inspection machine manufacturers, the high-speed inspection capability and stability of the machine are crucial. However, inspection machine manufacturers do not have the conditions for continuous and large-scale bottle processing by glass bottle manufacturers. There are certain hidden dangers before the inspection machine leaves the factory. Therefore, there is an urgent need to invent a device to verify the inspection capability of the inspection machine.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example:
[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a device for testing the detection capability of an inspection machine includes a housing 1. A detection component 2 is installed inside the housing 1. The detection component 2 includes a drive motor 3, a sensing plate 4, a photoelectric generator 5, and an encoder 6. The photoelectric generator 5 is located between the sensing plate 4 and the encoder 6. The encoder 6 is located at the top of the housing 1. A rotating shaft 7 is connected to the drive end of the drive motor 3. The rotating shaft 7 is connected to the sensing plate 4, and its axis passes through the axis of the sensing plate 4. One end of the rotating shaft 7 away from the drive motor 3 is connected to the encoder 6. A plurality of through holes 41 are provided on the sensing plate 4. One end of each through hole 41 faces the drive motor 3, and the other end faces the encoder 6. A reflector 8 is provided between the sensing plate 4 and the drive motor 3, and the reflector 8 is configured to cooperate with the through holes 41.
[0027] The working process of this solution is as follows: First, the drive motor 3 is started. When the drive motor 3 is working, it drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the sensing plate 4 and encoder 6 to rotate together. Then, the photoelectric generator 5 is started. In this solution, the photoelectric generator 5 is the light source. During use, the photoelectric generator 5 emits light towards the reflector 8. Since the sensing plate 4 is located between the photoelectric generator 5 and the reflector 8, and the through hole 41 cooperates with the reflector 8, as the sensing plate 4 rotates, when the through hole 41 is located between the reflector 8 and the photoelectric generator 5, the light passes through the through hole 41 to reach the reflector 8, is then reflected, and passes through the through hole 41 again before being received by the photoelectric generator 5. Finally, the encoder 6 and the photoelectric generator 5 output the received information to the glass bottle inspection equipment for the staff's reference.
[0028] In this scheme, both encoder 6 and photoelectric generator 5 are electrically connected to the glass bottle inspection equipment, the purpose of which is to perform performance testing on the glass bottle inspection equipment before delivery.
[0029] The working principle of this scheme is as follows: the drive motor 3 drives the induction plate 4 to rotate, and the photoelectric generator 5 transmits the light signal reflected back by the reflector to the glass bottle inspection equipment. Assuming that there are 6 through holes 41 on the induction plate 4, when the induction plate 4 rotates one revolution, the photoelectric generator 5 will emit 6 signals. At this time, it is equivalent to the glass bottle inspection equipment inspecting 6 glass bottles. This avoids the situation where the glass bottle inspection equipment needs to be started as a whole, and reduces the operation process.
[0030] In this solution, the through holes 41 on the sensing sheet 4 can be set as needed. If more photoelectric signals are needed, we can increase the number of through holes 41.
[0031] In this solution, the encoder 6 is used to simulate the distance between the glass bottle and the detection module of the glass bottle inspection equipment, thus ensuring the accuracy of the detection.
[0032] To ensure that each through hole 41 can allow photoelectric signals to pass through, the sensing sheet 4 is circular, the rotating shaft 7 passes through the center of the sensing sheet 4, and the through holes 41 are located between the center of the sensing sheet 4 and the side edge of the sensing sheet 4. The distance between several through holes 41 and the center is the same, and several through holes 41 are evenly arranged around the center.
[0033] Preferably, the sensor sheet 4 has several notches 42 on its side edge, and the notches 42 are evenly arranged around the center. The number of notches 42 is different from the number of through holes 41. This means that this solution only requires adjusting the position of the photoelectric generator 5 and the reflector 8 to allow the photoelectric signal to pass through the notches 42 or the through holes 41. This allows people to choose the notches 42 or through holes 41 according to the number of glass bottles to be detected, thus eliminating the need to replace the sensor sheet 4.
[0034] like Figure 5-6 As shown, to facilitate adjustment of the distance between the sensing element 4 and the encoder 6, a hollow connecting sleeve 73 is provided between the sensing element 4 and the encoder 6. The length direction of the connecting sleeve 73 is the same as the length direction of the rotating shaft 7. A first threaded hole 74 and a second threaded hole 75 are provided on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 73. The rotating shaft 7 includes a first segment 71 and a second segment 72. The first segment 71 is connected to the drive motor 3, and the second segment 72 is connected to the encoder 6. The end of the first segment 71 away from the drive motor 3 and the end of the second segment 72 away from the encoder 6 are slidably connected to the connecting sleeve 73. The first threaded hole 74 is configured to cooperate with the first segment 71, and the second threaded hole 75 is configured to cooperate with the second segment 72.
[0035] In use, the length of the rotating shaft 7 can be changed simply by adjusting the lengths of the first segment 71 and the second segment 72 inside the sleeve. The first threaded hole 74 and the second threaded hole 75 correspond to the first segment 71 and the second segment 72, respectively, and their purpose is to use bolts to hold and fix the first segment 71 and the second segment 72 in place.
[0036] To facilitate fixing the detection component 2 inside the housing 1, a fixing frame 9 is installed between the drive motor 3 and the inner wall of the housing 1. The fixing frame 9 includes a first plate 91 and a second plate 92. The drive motor 3 is connected to the first plate 91, and the second plate 92 is located between the first plate 91 and the sensing sheet 4.
[0037] Since the photoelectric generator 5 is located between the sensing plate 4 and the encoder 6, and the photoelectric generator 5 does not rotate with the rotating shaft 7, a limiting groove 93 is provided at one end of the second plate 92 facing the sensing plate 4 to facilitate fixing the photoelectric generator 5. A support frame 94 is slidably arranged in the limiting groove 93. The support frame 94 includes a limiting plate 95 and a fixing plate 96. A support arm 97 is provided between the limiting plate 95 and the fixing plate 96. The fixing plate 96 is located between the sensing plate 4 and the encoder 6. The photoelectric generator 5 is connected to the side wall of the fixing plate 96. An elongated hole 98 is provided on the limiting plate 95. A limiting hole is provided at the bottom of the limiting groove 93. The elongated hole 98 is bolted to the limiting hole.
[0038] The elongated hole 98 facilitates the position adjustment of the entire support frame 94, which makes it easier for operators to adjust the correspondence between the photoelectric generator 5 and the through hole 41 or notch 42.
[0039] Due to the limited internal space of the housing 1, in order to facilitate the operator to adjust the position of the support frame 94, the reflector 8 is located at the end of the limiting plate 95 facing the sensing sheet 4, and a long strip 99 is provided on the end of the limiting plate 95 away from the reflector 8.
[0040] To facilitate the detection of internal components, a light-transmitting plate 11 is provided in a portion of the top of the housing 1, and the light-transmitting plate 11 is located between the encoder 6 and the photoelectric generator 5.
[0041] like Figure 1-3 As shown, for ease of maintenance, the housing 1 includes a door panel 12, one end of which is hinged to the side wall of the housing 1. A pressure-sensitive switch 13, which mates with the door panel 12, is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. A clearance opening 14 is provided at the end of the housing 1 away from the door panel 12. The end of the elongated plate 99 away from the reflector 8 passes through the clearance opening 14 to reach the outside, which facilitates the operator in adjusting the position of the support frame 94. Simultaneously, the transmission line of the photoelectric generator 5 also passes through the clearance opening 14. To ensure safety, this design incorporates the pressure-sensitive switch 13. When the door panel 12 is closed, it presses against the pressure-sensitive switch 13, allowing the entire device to operate normally. When the door panel 12 is opened, the pressure-sensitive switch 13 rebounds, and the entire device is powered off and shut down.
[0042] To facilitate the control of each component, a control panel 15 is also provided on the top of the housing 1. The drive motor 3, encoder 6, and photoelectric generator 5 are all electrically connected to the control panel 15.
[0043] To facilitate the movement of this device, a handle 16 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1. There are two handles 16, and the door panel 12 is located between the two handles 16.
[0044] To facilitate heat dissipation, a ventilation hole 17 is provided between the handle 16 and the bottom of the housing 1.
[0045] In summary, the advantages of this solution are: it facilitates manufacturers in using this device to perform performance testing on their glass bottle inspection equipment, such as the equipment's image acquisition capability and algorithm processing time at maximum machine speed, ensuring that the glass bottle inspection equipment is qualified before leaving the factory.
[0046] There are many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
