[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 4 An automatic lid-lifting machine for preparing beef and mushroom chili sauce includes a conveyor frame 2 fixedly installed on one side of a hopper 1. A magnetic conveyor belt 3 is provided on the inner side of the conveyor frame 2, and a camera 5 is provided on the outer side of the conveyor frame 2. An air blowing head 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor frame 2. A recycling port 8 is opened on the other side of the conveyor frame 2. A recycling trough 4 is fixedly installed on the other side of the conveyor frame 2. The bottom end of the recycling trough 4 is fixedly installed to the hopper 1. A guide plate 9 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the conveyor frame 2. A discharge port 15 is opened on one side of the conveyor frame 2. A material sorting plate 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor frame 2. A slide rail 12 is fixedly installed on the end of the material sorting plate 10 away from the conveyor frame 2.

[0021] In this embodiment: by setting up a camera 5, a guide plate 9, and a slide 12, the lids in the hopper 1 are magnetically transported to the position of the camera 5 via the magnetic conveyor belt 3 to capture the image of the lids. Then, the algorithm analyzes and determines the front and back of the lids. The front lids are blown into the recycling port 8 by the air blown head 6 and recycled into the hopper 1 via the recycling trough 4 for the next conveying and use. The back lids are guided by the guide plate 9 and discharged into the sorting plate 10 through the discharge port 15 for conveying. The slide 12 adjusts the threaded side of the lid to face down, realizing fully automatic lifting and sorting of the lids for subsequent packaging of the beef and mushroom chili sauce bottle. The back of the lid is the threaded side, which makes it easy to screw onto the mouth of the beef and mushroom chili sauce bottle.

[0022] The circuits, electronic components, and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a stop bar 16 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the conveyor frame 2, and a correction piece 17 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the conveyor frame 2, with a gap between the correction piece 17 and the surface of the magnetic conveyor belt 3.

[0024] In this embodiment: by setting up a baffle 16 and a correction piece 17, the baffle 16 can block and remove excess covers that are stacked together by the cover being transported by the magnetic conveyor belt 3, and the correction piece 17 can correct the transport direction of the cover so that the cover is adjusted to the center position of the magnetic conveyor belt 3, so that the camera 5 can capture images of the front and back of the cover.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a baffle 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the recycling tank 4, and the positions of the air blowing head 6, the baffle 7, and the recycling port 8 are flush and corresponding.

[0026] In this embodiment: by setting a baffle 7, air is blown onto the cover in front of the air blower 6, blowing the cover through the recycling port 8 into the recycling trough 4. The baffle 7 acts as a barrier, and the cover is recycled along the recycling trough 4 into the hopper 1 for the next cover sorting and conveying operation.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a transparent protective plate 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the material sorting plate 10, and a fixing plate 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor frame 2. The fixing plate 14 is fixedly installed with the material sorting plate 10.

[0028] In this embodiment: by setting a transparent protective plate 11, the cover passing through the material handling plate 10 can be restricted by the transparent protective plate 11, so as to prevent the cover from falling out when it enters the material handling plate 10 through the discharge port 15, and to ensure the conveying operation of the cover.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a support rod 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveyor frame 2, and a connecting rod 18 is fixedly installed between the conveyor frame 2 and the slide 12; the slide 12 is adapted to the cover, and the transparent protective plate 11 is smoothly connected to the slide 12.

[0030] In this embodiment: the support rod 13 provides support for the conveyor frame 2, and the connecting rod 18 provides fixed support for the arc-shaped slide 12.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the recovery port 8 is flush with the surface of the magnetic conveyor belt 3, the discharge port 15 is flush with the surface of the magnetic conveyor belt 3, and a gap is left between the guide plate 9 and the surface of the magnetic conveyor belt 3.

[0032] In this embodiment: the guide plate 9 guides the direction of the cover conveyed by the magnetic conveyor belt 3, and the cover enters the material sorting plate 10 through the discharge port 15. The downward angle of the material sorting plate 10 makes it easy for the cover to roll to the position of docking with the slide 12. The cover slides along the slide 12 to the end position to complete the automatic cover lifting operation.

[0033] Working principle: First, the lid is placed in the hopper 1. Then, the motor on one side of the conveyor frame 2 is started, causing the magnetic conveyor belt 3 inside the conveyor frame 2 to magnetically transport the lid. The magnetic conveyor belt 3 transports the lid to the stop bar 16, which can stop the stacked lids. Then, the correction plate 17 adjusts the lid to the center of motion of the magnetic conveyor belt 3. The camera 5 captures the image of the lid, and the algorithm analyzes and determines the front and back of the lid. The front lid is blown into the recycling port 8 by the air blown head 6 and recycled into the hopper 1 through the recycling trough 4 for the next transport. The back lid is guided by the guide plate 9 and discharged into the material sorting plate 10 through the discharge port 15. Then, the lid is transported by the slide 12. The lid slides along the arc-shaped slide 12 to the end position. At this time, the threaded side of the lid is adjusted to face down, realizing the fully automatic lifting and sorting of the lid for use.
