Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container inspection, specifically to an empty container inspection device based on sound waves. Background Technology
[0002] In logistics, transportation, and port warehousing industries, container loading status inspection is a crucial step. Accurately determining whether a container is empty is essential for improving cargo handling efficiency, optimizing warehouse space utilization, and ensuring transportation safety. Common methods for detecting empty containers include manual visual inspection and weight verification. Manual visual inspection is inefficient and easily affected by human factors, making accuracy difficult to guarantee. While weight verification is simple and direct, it may not accurately determine the empty status of containers with complex internal structures or containing small amounts of residue, thus reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an acoustic-based empty container inspection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] Preferably, the electric telescopic pole, ultrasonic detector generator, and sound wave receiver are all electrically connected to an external power supply via a control panel.
[0006] Preferably, a housing is fixedly installed on one side of the front of the base frame, and a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the housing. The output end of the drive motor is connected to a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to a transmission roller on the conveyor belt.
[0007] Preferably, the ultrasonic detector and the acoustic receiver are both positioned above the conveyor belt.
[0008] Preferably, guide sliders are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting seat, and the inner wall of the detection frame is provided with guide grooves corresponding to the guide sliders, and the guide sliders are slidably connected to the guide grooves.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] The container to be inspected is pushed onto the conveyor belt via the loading platform. The conveyor belt transports the container to one side of the unloading platform. As the container passes under the inspection frame, it is detected by ultrasonic detectors and receivers to determine if it is empty. The empty container can then be removed by personnel. After inspection, the container is lowered and discharged via the unloading platform. The entire empty container inspection device utilizes the rapid propagation and reflection characteristics of sound waves within the container to complete the inspection of the empty container status in a short time, improving inspection efficiency and work efficiency.
