Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of glass bottles, and more specifically, it relates to a foreign object detection device for glass production bottles with an alarm mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Foreign object detection devices inside glass bottles are crucial equipment for ensuring the quality of glass products. They utilize optical imaging and sensor technology to accurately detect the condition inside the bottle. During operation, a light source illuminates the bottle, a camera quickly captures an image of the interior, and sophisticated algorithms analyze the image to rapidly identify foreign objects. Whether it's tiny particles, fibers, or glass fragments, nothing can hide. Operating in real-time alongside high-speed production lines, it promptly identifies problematic products, significantly reducing the defect rate and building a strong defense for glass packaging safety in industries such as pharmaceuticals and food, effectively improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Although existing foreign object detection devices for glass production bottles can perform detection operations on glass bottles, when detecting transparent glass production bottles, in addition to the illumination of the light source, some external light shining on the bottle may produce strong reflected light. This reflected light will enter the camera or sensor, forming bright spots or glare, interfering with the normal acquisition and analysis of images, making it difficult for the detection device to clearly observe foreign objects inside the bottle. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a foreign object detection device for glass production bottles with an alarm mechanism. This solves the technical problem in existing technologies where, when detecting transparent glass production bottles, in addition to the illumination from a light source, some external light shining on the bottle may produce strong reflected light. This reflected light can enter the camera or sensor, forming bright spots or glare, interfering with the normal acquisition and analysis of images, making it difficult for the detection device to clearly observe foreign objects inside the bottle.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a foreign object detection device for glass production bottles with an alarm mechanism, comprising a conveyor, a frame connected to the conveyor, an alarm component and a camera installed on the frame, the lens of the camera penetrating the frame, a double-ended screw rotatably connected to one end and the other end of the frame, multiple blocks threadedly connected to the two sets of double-ended screws, baffles connected to the multiple sets of blocks, an opening provided at one end and the studs threadedly connected to one end and the studs respectively, one end of each set of studs extending into the corresponding opening, a lamp body installed at each of the two sets of openings, and the two sets of lamp bodies respectively contacting the corresponding studs.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a handle is connected to each of the two sets of double-headed screws and studs.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the frame and the other end are connected to slide rails, and multiple sets of blocks are slidably connected to the corresponding slide rails.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both sets of double-headed screws are connected to synchronous pulleys, and the two sets of synchronous pulleys are driven by synchronous belts.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, rubber pads are adhered to the contact points between the two sets of studs and the corresponding lamp bodies.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the thread directions of one end and the other end of the two sets of double-ended screws are opposite.

[0011] This utility model provides a foreign object detection device for glass production bottles with an alarm mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This novel design utilizes the cooperation of a frame, a double-ended screw, blocks, baffles, and a handle. The double-ended screw drives two sets of blocks. When the double-ended screw rotates, the two sets of blocks move accordingly, thereby displacing the connected baffles. This allows for flexible adjustment of the distance between the baffles, enabling the frame to provide a suitable conveying space for the bottle based on its actual size. While ensuring the bottle can smoothly pass through the frame and multiple baffles, it also significantly reduces the probability of external light entering the frame, creating a stable lighting environment for detecting foreign objects inside the bottle and improving detection accuracy.

[0013] 2. The stud, handle, and port are connected to the frame via a threaded connection, with one end positioned precisely at the port. When installing the lamp body, simply place it in the corresponding position on the port; as the stud is rotated, its end makes tight contact with the lamp body and provides a secure fit. This design makes lamp installation extremely convenient, requiring no complex tools or cumbersome procedures. Similarly, when the lamp body needs maintenance or replacement, simply reverse the rotation of the stud to easily remove the lamp body from the port, greatly improving maintenance efficiency and ensuring the stable operation of the testing device's lighting system.

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a foreign object detection device for glass production bottles with an alarm mechanism, including a conveyor 1, which is a belt conveyor. The conveying speed of the conveyor 1 can be adjusted according to actual production needs to ensure that the glass production bottles enter the detection area at a stable and appropriate rate. It is connected to the frame 2 by welding, which can ensure the stability of the relative position of the two during long-term operation and prevent the detection accuracy from being affected by vibration or displacement. The frame 2 is connected to the conveyor 1, and an alarm component 3 and a camera 4 are installed on the frame 2. The lens of the camera 4 is placed through the frame 2. The alarm component 3 includes a sound alarm device and a light alarm device. The sound alarm device can emit a high-decibel and highly recognizable alarm sound, and the light alarm device can attract the attention of the operator through flashing warning lights. The lens of camera 4 is precisely positioned through the frame 2. The lens uses a high-resolution, large-aperture optical lens to clearly capture tiny details inside the bottle. Its position is precisely calibrated to ensure comprehensive and blind-spot-free imaging of the glass production bottles passing through the frame 2. Camera 4 transmits the images to an external computer for system detection. If a foreign object is detected, the alarm component 3 will be activated via the computer. Both ends of the frame 2 are rotatably connected to double-headed screws 8. Multiple blocks 9 are threaded onto both sets of double-headed screws 8. Each set of blocks 9 is connected to a baffle 10. The baffle 10 is made of black plastic with good light-blocking performance and has a frosted surface to further reduce light reflection. When the double-headed screw 8 moves the block 9, the baffle 10 moves accordingly, thereby flexibly adjusting the distance between the baffles 10. One end of the frame 2 and the other end are provided with openings 5. The design of the openings 5 ​​facilitates the installation of the lamp body 7. One end of the frame 2 and the other end are threaded with studs 6. One end of each set of studs 6 is inserted into the corresponding opening 5. The lamp body 7 is installed at each of the two sets of openings 5. The lamp body 7 uses a high-brightness, low-power LED light source. Its light emission angle and brightness have been precisely designed and adjusted to evenly illuminate the inside of the glass production bottle, providing sufficient and stable light for the camera 4 to take pictures. The two sets of lamp bodies 7 are in contact with the corresponding studs 6.

[0023] Among them, a set of double-headed screws 8 and two sets of studs 6 are each connected to a handle 11.

[0024] Among them, one end of the frame 2 is connected to the slide rail 12, and multiple blocks 9 are slidably connected to the corresponding slide rail 12.

[0025] Both sets of double-headed screws 8 are connected to synchronous pulleys 13. The two sets of synchronous pulleys 13 are driven by synchronous belts 14. The cooperation between the synchronous pulleys 13 and the synchronous belts 14 enables the two sets of double-headed screws 8 to rotate synchronously, ensuring the consistency of the adjustment of the baffles 10 on both sides.

[0026] Among them, rubber pads 15 are attached to the contact points between the two sets of studs 6 and the corresponding lamp bodies 7. The rubber pads 15 are made of soft and elastic silicone rubber, which can not only act as a buffer to prevent damage caused by hard contact between the studs 6 and the lamp bodies 7, but also effectively prevent light from leaking from the contact gap between the studs 6 and the lamp bodies 7, thus further optimizing the lighting conditions of the detection environment.

[0027] In this design, the threads of the two sets of double-ended screws 8 are opposite at one end and the other end. When the double-ended screws 8 rotate, the blocks 9 located at both ends of them move in opposite directions. This ingenious design achieves synchronous and symmetrical movement of multiple sets of blocks 9, greatly improving adjustment efficiency.

[0028] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0029] In use, this invention first involves adjusting the handle 11 in conjunction with the timing belt 14 and timing pulley 13 according to the actual size of the glass bottle. This causes the two sets of double-headed screws 8 to rotate synchronously, resulting in multiple sets of baffles 10 moving synchronously to one side or the other to adjust the distance between the corresponding baffles 10, allowing the bottle to pass through. After adjustment, the light 7 is turned on, and the conveyor 1 transports the glass bottle. When the glass bottle is moved into the frame 2, the light 7 illuminates the bottle, and the bottle is detected by the camera 4. If there is a foreign object, the alarm component 3 is triggered, thus completing the foreign object detection.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
