Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quality inspection equipment technology, and in particular to a bottle inspection device. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life, many household items (such as cosmetics, snacks, and beverages) are often packaged in bottles. The outer wall of these bottles is often silkscreened with patterns or text to distinguish the type of item contained within. After the bottles are manufactured, their quality must be tested to ensure they meet standards, and the silkscreened patterns or text must be checked for any omissions, blurring, or other issues.
[0003] In existing technologies, bottle inspection is generally conducted manually. Workers inspect each bottle individually to determine if it has defects, and if so, manually remove it. This method is labor-intensive and time-consuming, inefficient, lacks automation, and is prone to errors such as missed or incorrect inspections. Furthermore, different workers use different inspection standards, leading to inconsistent bottle quality and negatively impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0030] This utility model provides a bottle detection device, including a mounting base, a sorting unit, a feeding unit, a detection unit, a rejection unit, and a discharging unit. During bottle inspection, the bottle is placed on the first conveying assembly, which horizontally transports the bottle to the loading station.

The sorting turntable is then rotated intermittently, causing the bottle to rotate to the inspection station. The lighting assembly moves vertically and is inserted into the bottle. The position of the image acquisition assembly is adjusted horizontally to capture images of the bottle. Simultaneously, the bottle carrier assembly rotates the bottle vertically, allowing for omnidirectional image acquisition. Based on the acquired images, the system determines if the bottle has defects. If defects are found, the sorting turntable rotates the bottle to the rejection station, where the rejection unit removes the bottle. If no defects are found, the sorting turntable rotates the bottle to the unloading station, where the unloading assembly transfers the bottle from the insertion groove to the second conveying assembly, which then horizontally transports the bottle to the next process.
[0031] By setting up sorting, feeding, and inspection units, automated bottle inspection can be achieved, reducing the labor intensity of workers, saving labor costs, and improving work efficiency. When the inspection unit inspects the bottles, it can acquire images from all angles, judging whether the bottles have defects based on the acquired images. This allows for standardized inspection, ensuring consistent bottle quality. Furthermore, adequate illumination ensures clear images and accurate inspection results. In addition, by inserting the bottles into designated grooves, shaking, displacement, or even falling during inspection can be prevented, avoiding damage to the bottles. Attached Figure Description

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0056] This embodiment provides a bottle detection device, such as... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this method can achieve automated inspection of bottle 100, reduce the labor intensity of workers, save labor costs, and improve work efficiency. It can also unify inspection standards to ensure that bottle 100 has a uniform bottle quality.
[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the bottle detection device includes a mounting base 1, a sorting unit 2, a loading unit 3, a detection unit 4, a rejection unit 5, and a unloading unit 6. The sorting unit 2 includes a sorting turntable 21 and multiple bottle-carrying assemblies 22. The sorting turntable 21 is intermittently rotatable vertically on the mounting base 1 and has loading, detection, rejection, and unloading stations. Multiple bottle-carrying assemblies 22 are circumferentially arranged on the sorting turntable 21, and the bottle-carrying assembly 22 at the detection station is rotatable vertically. Each bottle-carrying assembly 22 has an insertion groove configured for inserting a bottle 100. The loading unit 3 includes a first conveying assembly 31 and a loading assembly 32. The first conveying assembly 31 is located at the loading station and is used to horizontally convey the bottle 100 to the loading station. The feeding component 32 is located between the first conveying component 31 and the sorting turntable 21, and can insert the bottle body 100 into the insertion groove.
[0058] The detection unit 4 includes a first mounting bracket 41, an illumination component 42, and an image acquisition component 43. The first mounting bracket 41 is disposed at the detection station. The illumination component 42 is vertically movably disposed on the first mounting bracket 41 and has a detection state inserted into the bottle 100 and a waiting-to-inspect state away from the bottle 100. The image acquisition component 43 is horizontally adjustable disposed on the first mounting bracket 41 and is used to acquire images of the bottle 100. The rejection unit 5 is disposed at the rejection station and is used to reject bottles 100 inserted into the groove. The unloading unit 6 includes a second conveying component 61 and an unloading component 62. The second conveying component 61 is disposed at the unloading station and is used to convey bottles 100 horizontally. The unloading component 62 is disposed between the second conveying component 61 and the sorting turntable 21 and is capable of transferring bottles 100 inserted into the groove to the second conveying component 61.
[0059] When inspecting bottle 100, bottle 100 is placed on the first conveying assembly 31, which horizontally conveys it to the loading station. The loading assembly 32 then inserts bottle 100 into the insertion groove of the sorting turntable 21, positioning it at the loading station. The sorting turntable 21 is then rotated intermittently, causing it to rotate the bottle 100 to the inspection station. The lighting assembly 42 is moved vertically and inserted into the bottle 100. The position of the image acquisition assembly 43 is adjusted horizontally, and the image acquisition assembly 43 acquires images of the bottle 100. The image is captured by controlling the bottle carrier assembly 22 to rotate the bottle 100 vertically, thereby enabling omnidirectional image acquisition of the bottle 100. Based on the acquired image, it is determined whether the bottle 100 has defects. If defects are found, the sorting turntable 21 is controlled to rotate the bottle 100 to the rejection station, where the rejection unit 5 rejects the bottle 100. If no defects are found, the sorting turntable 21 is controlled to rotate the bottle 100 to the unloading station, where the unloading assembly 62 transfers the bottle 100 inserted in the groove to the second conveying assembly 61, which then horizontally conveys the bottle 100 to the next process.
[0060] By setting up a sorting unit 2, a feeding unit 3, and an inspection unit 4, the automated inspection of bottle 100 can be achieved, reducing the labor intensity of workers, saving labor costs, and improving work efficiency. When the inspection unit 4 inspects bottle 100, it can perform omnidirectional image acquisition of bottle 100. Based on the acquired images, it can determine whether bottle 100 has defects, unify inspection standards, ensure that bottle 100 has consistent bottle quality, and provide sufficient illumination to ensure the clarity of the acquired bottle 100 images, thus ensuring the accuracy of the inspection results. In addition, by inserting bottle 100 into the insertion groove, it can prevent shaking, displacement, or even falling during the inspection process, avoiding damage to bottle 100.
[0061] In this embodiment, the sorting unit 2 also includes a cam divider. The housing of the cam divider is disposed on the mounting base 1, and the output end of the cam divider is connected to the sorting turntable 21 for transmission, so as to drive the sorting turntable 21 to rotate intermittently around the vertical direction, that is, the cam divider drives the sorting turntable 21 to rotate and switch between the loading station, the inspection station, the rejection station and the unloading station.
[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the sorting unit 2 also includes a first rotary drive mechanism 23, a limiting bracket 24, and multiple rotating components 25. The first rotary drive mechanism 23 is vertically movably mounted on the mounting base 1 and located at the inspection station. The output end of the first rotary drive mechanism 23 is drive-connected to the limiting bracket 24, which has a locking groove. Multiple rotating components 25 are circumferentially spaced on the sorting turntable 21, and each rotating component 25 is drive-connected to a corresponding bottle carrier assembly 22. The locking groove has a first state of being drive-connected to any rotating component 25 and a second state of being separated from that rotating component 25. In the first state, the first rotary drive mechanism 23 drives the rotating component 25 to rotate vertically through the limiting bracket 24.
[0063] When the bottle 100 is being inspected, the sorting turntable 21 drives the bottle carrier assembly 22 to rotate to the inspection station. The sorting turntable 21 is then paused, and the first rotary drive mechanism 23 is controlled to move vertically, gradually approaching the rotating assembly 25 located at the inspection station, until the locking groove of the limiting bracket 24 engages with the rotating assembly 25. Then, the first rotary drive mechanism 23 is activated, causing the rotating assembly 25 to rotate via the limiting bracket 24. Since the bottle 100 is inserted into the insertion groove of the bottle carrier assembly 22, and the bottle carrier assembly 22 is connected to the rotating assembly 25, the bottle 100 will rotate vertically. This allows the image collection assembly to collect images of the bottle 100 from all directions, which is beneficial for a comprehensive inspection and evaluation of the bottle 100's quality and ensures the reliability of the inspection results.
[0064] For example, the first rotary drive mechanism 23 includes a rotary motor or a servo motor, etc.
[0065] In this embodiment, eight rotating components 25 are provided, and correspondingly eight bottle-carrying components 22 are provided. In other embodiments, other numbers of rotating components 25 and bottle-carrying components 22 may be provided as needed; the number is not limited here.
[0066] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the bottle detection device also includes a first telescopic drive mechanism 7. The housing of the first telescopic drive mechanism 7 is mounted on the mounting base 1, and the output end of the first telescopic drive mechanism 7 is connected to the housing of the first rotary drive mechanism 23 for driving the first rotary drive mechanism 23 to move vertically. When any rotating component 25 and its corresponding bottle-carrying component 22 rotate to the detection station, the first telescopic drive mechanism 7 is activated. The first telescopic drive mechanism 7 drives the limiting bracket 24 to move vertically through the first rotary drive mechanism 23, so that the limiting bracket 24 gradually approaches the rotating component 25 until the rotating component 25 is engaged in the locking groove of the limiting bracket 24. This realizes the transmission connection between the first rotary drive mechanism 23 and the rotating component 25, so that the first rotary drive mechanism 23 drives the bottle-carrying component 22 to rotate through the rotating component 25. The structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0067] For example, the first telescopic drive mechanism 7 includes a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0068] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottle detection device also includes a support frame 26, a guide rail 27, a slider 28, and a connecting plate 29. The support frame 26 is mounted on the mounting base 1, the guide rail 27 is mounted on the support frame 26 and extends vertically, and the slider 28 slides in conjunction with the guide rail 27. One end of the connecting plate 29 is connected to the housing of the first rotary drive mechanism 23, and the other end is connected to the slider 28. When the first telescopic drive mechanism 7 drives the housing of the first rotary drive mechanism 23 to move vertically, the first rotary drive mechanism 23 drives the slider 28 to move along the guide rail 27 through the connecting plate 29. The guide rail 27 can provide guidance for the slider 28, ensuring the movement accuracy of the slider 28 and the connecting plate 29, thereby ensuring the movement accuracy of the first rotary drive mechanism 23 and the limiting bracket 24, preventing them from deviating, and ensuring that the locking groove of the limiting bracket 24 can be locked and connected with the rotating component 25.
[0069] Optionally, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the bottle carrier assembly 22 includes a support carrier 221, a bottle base 222, and a driven wheel 223. The support carrier 221 rotatably passes through the sorting turntable 21, and the bottle base 222 is detachably connected to the upper end of the support carrier 221. The bottle base 222 has an insertion groove, and the driven wheel 223 is located at the end of the support carrier 221 opposite to the bottle base 222. The rotating assembly 25 includes a rotating shaft 251, a drive wheel 252, and a conveyor belt 253. The rotating shaft 251 rotatably passes through the sorting turntable 21 and can be engaged in the engagement groove of the limiting seat 24. The drive wheel 252 is mounted on the rotating shaft 251, and the conveyor belt 253 is wound around the drive wheel 252 and the driven wheel 223.
[0070] After the bottle 100 rotates to the inspection station, the first rotary drive mechanism 23 is controlled to move vertically, thereby driving the limiting bracket 24 to move vertically until the locking groove of the limiting bracket 24 is engaged with the rotating shaft 251. Then, the first rotary drive mechanism 23 drives the rotating shaft 251 to rotate through the limiting bracket 24, thereby causing the driving wheel 252 to drive the driven wheel 223 to rotate through the conveyor belt 253. The driven wheel 223 is mounted on the support carrier 221, thereby causing the driven wheel 223 to drive the bottle carrier base 222 to rotate vertically through the support carrier 221. In addition, the upper end of the bottle carrier base 222 is detachably connected to the support carrier 221, and the bottle carrier base 222 suitable for different bottles 100 can be flexibly replaced according to the needs, which has a certain degree of versatility.
[0071] Optionally, the bottle carrier assembly 22 also includes fasteners. The fasteners pass through the bottle carrier base 222 and are threadedly connected to the support carrier 221.
[0072] For example, fasteners include screws.
[0073] In this embodiment, each bottle carrier assembly 22 is provided with two support carriers 221, and each support carrier 221 is provided with one bottle carrier base 222 and one driven wheel 223. The conveyor belt 253 is wound around the driving wheel 252 and the two driven wheels 223. In other embodiments, other numbers of support carriers 221 may be provided as needed, with each support carrier 221 providing one bottle carrier base 222 and one driven wheel 223. The number is not limited here.
[0074] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the sorting unit 2 also includes multiple limiting components 8. These limiting components 8 are spaced circumferentially on the sorting turntable 21, and each limiting component 8 can move radially along the sorting turntable 21. Each limiting component 8 corresponds one-to-one with a multiple rotating component 25. Each limiting component 8 has a limiting state where it engages with the rotating shaft 251 and a releasing state where it is separated from the rotating shaft 251. In the releasing state, the rotating shaft 251 is inserted into the engaging groove of the limiting holder 24.
[0075] When inspecting bottle 100, the bottle 100 is first inserted into the insertion groove of bottle carrier 22 at the loading station by the loading assembly 32. At this time, the rotation shaft 251 of the rotation assembly 25 corresponding to the bottle carrier 22 is engaged with the corresponding limiting assembly 8, and the limiting assembly 8 is in a limiting state. Then, the sorting turntable 21 drives the bottle carrier 22 to rotate to the inspection station, and controls the limiting assembly 8 to move radially to separate it from the rotation shaft 251. At the same time, the first rotation drive mechanism 23 moves vertically to drive the limiting card seat 24 to gradually approach the rotation shaft 251 until the rotation shaft 251 is inserted into the engaging groove of the limiting card seat 24. Then, the first rotation drive mechanism 23 drives the bottle carrier base 222 to rotate through the rotation shaft 251, thus realizing the rotation of the bottle 100 around the vertical direction, so that the bottle 100 can be inspected from all directions. After the bottle 100 is inspected, the limiting component 8 is moved radially again to engage with the rotating shaft 251. The sorting turntable 21 then drives the bottle-carrying component 22 to rotate to the next station for the next process. By setting the limiting component 8, the rotating component 25 can be limited, thereby limiting the bottle-carrying component 22 and preventing the bottle 100 in the insertion groove from shaking or rotating. This avoids the bottle 100 from falling and being damaged, and also prevents the image from being incompletely collected during image acquisition due to the rotation of the bottle 100, thus ensuring the integrity and reliability of the inspection results.
[0076] For example, eight limiting components 8 are provided.
[0077] Optionally, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the sorting unit 2 also includes a pushing component 9. The pushing component 9 is radially movably disposed below the sorting turntable 21 and located at the inspection station. The limiting component 8 includes a housing 81, a limiting slider 82, a reset component 83, and a locking component 84. The housing 81 is disposed on the sorting turntable 21 and has a sliding groove extending radially along the sorting turntable 21. The bottom wall of the sliding groove has a first sliding through hole extending radially along the sorting turntable 21, and the sorting turntable 21 has a second sliding through hole, with the first sliding through hole and the second sliding through hole facing each other. The limiting slider 82 is slidably locked in the sliding groove, with part of the limiting slider 82 passing through the first and second sliding through holes and abutting against the upper end of the pushing component 9. One end of the reset component 83 is connected to the limiting slider 82, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the sliding groove. The locking component 84 is disposed on the limiting slider 82. The snap-fit component 84 is provided with a limit slot, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 251 is snapped into the limit slot.
[0078] When it is necessary to separate the limiting component 8 and the rotating shaft 251, the pushing component 9 is first controlled to move radially, thereby pushing the limiting slider 82 radially. The limiting slider 82 will drive the locking piece 84 to move along the sliding groove, thereby moving the locking piece 84 away from the rotating shaft 251, so as to release the locking groove between the limiting component 8 and the rotating shaft 251 and realize the separation of the limiting component 8 and the rotating shaft 251. During this process, the limiting slider 82 will squeeze the reset piece 83. After the bottle 100 at the detection station is detected, the pushing component 9 is controlled to move radially again, thereby releasing the abutment between the pushing component 9 and the limiting slider 82. The reset piece 83 will push the limiting slider 82 to slide along the sliding groove and gradually approach the rotating shaft 251, thereby causing the limiting slider 82 to drive the locking piece 84 to gradually approach the rotating shaft 251 until the limiting groove of the locking piece 84 is locked with the rotating shaft 251 again. The structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0079] Optionally, the pushing assembly 9 includes a second telescopic drive mechanism and a pushing slider 28. The housing of the telescopic drive mechanism is mounted on the mounting base 1, and the output end of the telescopic drive is connected to the pushing slider 28 for driving the pushing slider 28 to move radially. The upper surface of the pushing slider 28 is provided with a limiting protrusion, which abuts against the limiting slider 82. When it is necessary to separate the limiting assembly 8 and the rotating shaft 251, the second telescopic drive mechanism is activated, causing it to drive the pushing slider 28 to move radially. The limiting protrusion on the pushing slider 28 abuts against the limiting slider 82, thereby causing the limiting protrusion to push the limiting slider 82 radially. The limiting slider 82 will drive the locking member 84 to move along the sliding groove, thereby moving the locking member 84 away from the rotating shaft 251, thus releasing the locking groove from the rotating shaft 251. The structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0080] For example, the second telescopic drive mechanism includes a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder.
[0081] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9As shown, both the feeding assembly 32 and the unloading assembly 62 include a second mounting bracket 321, a second rotary drive mechanism 322, and a clamping mechanism 323. The second mounting bracket 321 is disposed on the mounting base 1, and the housing of the second rotary drive mechanism 322 is movably disposed on the second mounting bracket 321 along the vertical direction. The output end of the second rotary drive mechanism 322 is connected to the clamping mechanism 323 for driving the clamping mechanism 323 to rotate around the vertical direction. The clamping mechanism 323 is capable of clamping the bottle body 100. When feeding is required, firstly, the clamping mechanism 323 of the feeding component 32 is controlled to clamp the bottle 100 on the first conveying component 31. Then, the second rotary drive mechanism 322 is moved vertically to raise the bottle 100 vertically. Then, the second rotary drive mechanism 322 is controlled to drive the clamping mechanism 323 to rotate vertically so that the clamped bottle 100 is directly above the insertion groove at the feeding station. The second rotary drive mechanism 322 is moved vertically again to lower the clamping mechanism 323 so that the bottle 100 is inserted into the insertion groove. Finally, the clamping mechanism 323 is controlled to release the bottle 100. Similarly, when unloading is required, the clamping mechanism 323 of the unloading component 62 is first controlled to clamp the bottle 100 in the insertion groove. Then, the second rotary drive mechanism 322 is moved vertically to raise the bottle 100 vertically. Then, the second rotary drive mechanism 322 is controlled to drive the clamping mechanism 323 to rotate vertically so that the clamped bottle 100 is directly above the second conveying component 61 at the unloading station. The second rotary drive mechanism 322 is moved vertically again to drive the clamping mechanism 323 to descend so that the bottle 100 falls onto the second conveying component 61. Finally, the clamping mechanism 323 is controlled to release the bottle 100.
[0082] For example, the second rotary drive mechanism 322 includes a rotary cylinder.
[0083] Optionally, the bottle detection device further includes a third telescopic drive mechanism and a mounting plate. The lower end of the mounting plate is provided with multiple vertical connecting rods, all of which penetrate vertically through the second mounting bracket 321. The housing of the second rotary drive mechanism 322 is mounted on the mounting plate. The housing of the third telescopic drive mechanism is mounted on the second mounting bracket 321, and the output end of the third telescopic drive mechanism is connected to the mounting plate for driving the second frame to move vertically.
[0084] For example, the third telescopic drive mechanism includes a telescopic cylinder or a telescopic electric cylinder.
[0085] Optionally, such as Figure 9As shown, the clamping mechanism 323 includes a mounting plate 3231, at least one third rotary drive mechanism 3232, at least one transmission screw 3233, and at least two clamping plates 3234. The mounting plate 3231 is driveably connected to the output end of the second rotary drive mechanism 322. The housing of the third rotary drive mechanism 3232 is disposed on the mounting plate 3231, and the output end of the third rotary drive mechanism 3232 is driveably connected to the transmission screw 3233. The transmission screw 3233 extends horizontally and is rotatably disposed on the mounting plate 3231 about its own axis. The transmission screw 3233 includes a first screw section and a second screw section with opposite thread directions. The two clamping plates 3234 are respectively sleeved on the first screw section and the second screw section. The two clamping plates 3234 have a clamping state where they are close to each other and a released state where they are far apart from each other. In the clamping state, the two clamping plates 3234 clamp the two sides of the bottle body 100.
[0086] When it is necessary to clamp the bottle 100, the third rotary drive mechanism 3232 is first activated. The third rotary drive mechanism 3232 drives the transmission screw 3233 to rotate around its own axis, thereby causing the two clamping plates 3234 to move along the transmission screw 3233 and gradually move closer to each other until the two clamping plates 3234 are pressed against the sides of the bottle 100, thus clamping the bottle 100. When it is necessary to release the bottle 100, the third rotary drive mechanism 3232 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the two clamping plates 3234 to move along the transmission screw 3233 and gradually move away from each other, so that the clamping plates 3234 can release the bottle 100.
[0087] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 323 is provided with two third rotary drive mechanisms 3232 and two transmission screws 3233, and each transmission screw 3233 is provided with two clamping plates 3234. In other embodiments, other numbers of third rotary drive mechanisms 3232 and transmission screws 3233 may be provided according to actual needs, which is not limited here.
[0088] It should be noted that the rejection unit 5 includes a rejection component and a receiving component. The rejection component is used to clamp the bottle 100 and drive the bottle 100 to rotate around and move vertically. The receiving component is used to receive the rejected bottle 100.

Multiple support plates 313 are sequentially disposed on the first conveyor belt mechanism 312, and each support plate 313 has a support groove for inserting a bottle 100. The first conveyor belt mechanism 312 is used to drive the support plates 313 to move horizontally to convey the bottle 100 to the loading station. When feeding is required, the bottle 100 can be inserted into the bearing groove of the bearing plate 313. Then, the first conveyor belt mechanism 312 is started, which drives the bearing plate 313 to move horizontally until the bottle 100 is conveyed to the feeding station so that the feeding component 32 can clamp the bottle 100 and insert it into the insertion groove. The structure is simple and easy to operate. By setting the bearing groove, the bottle 100 can be placed vertically, which makes it easy for the clamping mechanism 323 to clamp the bottle 100. At the same time, it can also prevent the bottle 100 from falling due to shaking and avoid damage to the bottle 100.
[0090] In this embodiment, 13 support plates 313 are provided, and each support plate 313 has 2 support grooves. In other embodiments, other numbers of support plates 313 and support grooves may be provided as needed, and this is not limited here.
