[0031] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] Existing bottle collection methods are divided into manual and machine collection. Manual bottle collection relies on operators to place and count bottles by hand. For small bottles being discharged at high speeds, a large number of operators are needed to meet the requirements, and there are problems such as bottles easily falling during collection and inaccurate quantity counting. Machine bottle collection includes a front buffer track and uses star wheels to control the bottles. Different sizes of bottles require different star wheel molds, resulting in higher manufacturing, operating, and maintenance costs for machine bottle collection.
[0034] In view of this, the present invention provides a bottle collecting device, including: a bottle feeding mechanism and a bottle collecting mechanism, wherein the bottle collecting mechanism is disposed at the outlet end of the bottle feeding mechanism; the bottle feeding mechanism includes a first bottle feeding track 100, the first bottle feeding track 100 is provided with a first detection element 210, the first bottle feeding track 100 includes a first bottle collecting section 110, the first bottle collecting section 110 is provided with a first locking component, the first locking component is signal connected to the first detection element 210, the first detection element 210 can detect the number of bottles in the first bottle collecting section 110 and, after the number reaches the requirement, the first locking component seals the first bottle collecting section 110; the bottle collecting mechanism includes a first pushing component 300 and a first bottle collecting box 200 disposed on both sides of the first bottle collecting section 110, the first pushing component 300 is signal connected to the first detection element 210, and the opening of the first bottle collecting box 200 faces the first pushing component 300.
[0035] Bottles are conveyed along the first inlet track 100 toward the first bottle receiving section 110. A first detection element 210 detects the number of bottles in the first bottle receiving section 110. When the detected number of bottles reaches a set requirement, the first detection element 210 signals a first locking assembly to seal the first bottle receiving section 110. Then, the first detection element 210 signals a first pushing assembly 300 to push the bottles in the first bottle receiving section 110 into the first bottle receiving box 200 for storage.
[0036] The bottle collecting device has a simple overall structure, low manufacturing cost, and relatively low operating and maintenance costs. It can count bottles stably and accurately, collect bottles quickly and efficiently, and ensure continuous and stable production.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, the first detection element 210 includes a first probe sensor, which is disposed above the first bottle inlet track 100 and is signal-connected to the first propulsion assembly 300.
[0038] The first probe sensor is fixed above the first bottle inlet track 100 and can detect the number of bottles on the first bottle receiving section 110. When the detected number of bottles reaches a set requirement, the first probe sensor signals the locking component to block the first bottle receiving section 110, and then signals the first pushing component 300 to push the bottles in the first bottle receiving section 110 into the first bottle receiving box 200. The number of bottles here needs to be preset according to the size of the bottles and the specifications of the first bottle receiving box 200, so that the first pushing component 300 pushes the bottles in the first bottle receiving section 110 into the first bottle receiving box 200 and just fills the entire row.
[0039] In an optional embodiment, the first locking component includes a first bottle inlet lock 220 and a first stop bar 230. The first bottle inlet lock 220 is disposed at the inlet end of the first bottle receiving section 110, and the first stop bar 230 is disposed at the outlet end of the first bottle receiving section 110. Both the first bottle inlet lock 220 and the first stop bar 230 are connected to the first probe sensor signal.
[0040] Please see details. Figure 1 The area of the first bottle inlet track 100 between the first bottle inlet lock 220 and the first stop bar 230 is the first bottle receiving section 110. When the first probe sensor detects that the number of bottles on the first bottle receiving section 110 has reached the set requirement, the first probe sensor simultaneously sends control signals to the first bottle inlet lock 220 and the first stop bar 230, so that the first bottle inlet lock 220 blocks the inlet end of the first bottle receiving section 110 and the first stop bar 230 blocks the outlet end of the first bottle receiving section 110. At this time, the bottles on the first bottle receiving section 110 cannot continue to move forward, and the bottles that have not reached the first bottle receiving section 110 cannot enter the first bottle receiving section 110, thereby accurately controlling the number of bottles on the first bottle receiving section 110.
[0041] In an optional embodiment, the first propulsion assembly 300 includes a first propulsion cylinder 310 and a first push plate 320. The first push plate 320 is installed on the telescopic end of the first propulsion cylinder 310 and is positioned directly opposite the first bottle receiving section 110. The first propulsion cylinder 310 is connected to the first probe sensor signal.
[0042] When the first bottle receiving section 110 is blocked by the first bottle inlet lock 220 and the first stop bar 230, the first push cylinder 310 receives the control signal from the first probe sensor. The first push cylinder 310 drives the first push plate 320 to push all the bottles in the first bottle receiving section 110 into the first bottle receiving box 200. After pushing, the first push cylinder 310 and the first push plate 320 are reset, waiting for the next push.

[0044] The first propulsion cylinder 310 is fixedly installed on the first receiving platform 510. The first bottle receiving box 200 is positioned opposite the first cylinder and is placed in the bottle receiving area of the first receiving platform 510. When the first bottle receiving box 200 is full, the operator manually removes the first bottle receiving box 200 and replaces it with an empty one for bottle collection.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, the first receiving platform 510 is equipped with a first screen controller 520, which is connected to the first probe sensor signal.
[0046] The first screen controller 520 is installed on one side of the first receiving platform 510. The operator can set the number of bottles on the first bottle receiving section 110 detected by the first probe sensor on the first screen controller 520, and can also control the running stroke of the first cylinder and select different running programs for bottles of different sizes.
[0047] In an optional embodiment, the bottle feeding mechanism further includes a turntable 600, and the first bottle feeding track 100 is connected to the turntable 600.
[0048] Please see Figure 1 The turntable 600 is equipped with multiple parallel sub-tracks, which can divert and guide the flow, so that the bottles enter the first bottle inlet track 100 evenly and orderly.

The second detection element 720 can detect the number of bottles in the second bottle receiving section 710 and, after the number reaches the required level, seal the second bottle receiving section 710 through the second locking component.
[0050] The bottle collecting mechanism also includes a second propulsion assembly 800 and a second bottle collecting box 400 disposed on both sides of the second bottle collecting section 710. The second propulsion assembly 800 is signal-connected to the second detection element 720, and the opening of the second bottle collecting box 400 faces the second propulsion assembly 800.
[0051] Bottles are conveyed along the second inlet track 700 toward the second bottle receiving section 710. A second detection element 720 detects the number of bottles in the second bottle receiving section 710. When the detected number of bottles reaches a set requirement, the second detection element 720 signals a second locking assembly to seal the second bottle receiving section 710. Then, the second detection element 720 signals a second pushing assembly 800 to push the bottles in the second bottle receiving section 710 into the second bottle receiving box 400 for storage.
