Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass bottle inspection technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable inspection light box for glass bottle transportation. Background Technology

[0002] Glass bottles are widely used as packaging materials in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries due to their high chemical stability and excellent barrier properties. However, as the manufacturing process of glass bottles becomes more complex, appearance defects such as bubbles, cracks, and oil stains are prone to occur during high-temperature molding. These defects seriously affect the sealing performance and safety of the products.

[0003] Currently, the industry mainly uses manual visual inspection. Traditional manual inspection relies on fixed lighting equipment. When inspecting reflective areas on curved surfaces of bottles, ambient light interference can easily create blind spots, causing defects such as cracks and tiny bubbles to be missed. At the same time, existing lamp inspection equipment mostly uses a vertical illumination mode, requiring inspectors to maintain a fixed observation posture for a long time, which can easily lead to visual fatigue and fluctuations in the error rate, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and stability of the inspection results. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0022] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, an adjustable inspection light box for glass bottle conveying includes a mounting part 1 detachably connected to the glass bottle conveying line, allowing for flexible installation of the light box. The mounting part 1 is equipped with a vibration isolator 2 to effectively reduce the transmission of vibrations generated during glass bottle conveying to the light box, preventing light swaying due to vibration and ensuring stable reflection on the glass bottle surface. A lifting part 3 is installed on the vibration isolator 2, allowing adjustment according to different glass bottle specifications and inspection requirements, ensuring the light illuminates the glass bottle surface at the optimal angle, facilitating comprehensive inspection of all parts of the glass bottle and reducing blind spots. The lifting part 3 is equipped with… The universal bracket 4 allows the light to rotate and tilt in multiple directions, enabling operators to flexibly adjust the light's illumination angle according to the curved shape of the glass bottle, its reflectivity, and the specific area to be inspected. This effectively avoids ambient light interference and improves the detection capability for defects such as cracks and fine bubbles. The universal bracket 4 is equipped with a lamp housing 5, which has an open front end and houses the light unit 6. This allows the light to be more concentrated on the glass bottle, enhancing the illumination intensity. At the same time, the open front end helps the light to be better distributed on the bottle surface, reducing shadows and uneven reflections, and improving the clarity and accuracy of the inspection.

[0023] In the specific implementation of this utility model, the mounting part 1 is connected to the glass bottle conveyor line. According to the production line layout and the glass bottle conveying position, the optimal mounting point is selected and securely installed. Then, according to the specifications of the glass bottle to be inspected and the inspection requirements, the lifting part 3 and the universal bracket 4 are operated to adjust the lamp housing 5 to a suitable height. The angle of the lamp housing 5 is flexibly adjusted. According to the actual situation of the glass bottle's curved surface, reflection, etc., the optimal illumination angle of the light part 6 is found so that the light part 6 can evenly and comprehensively illuminate the surface of the glass bottle. Among them, the light part 6 adopts the intelligent dimming chip in the prior art, which can adjust the light intensity and color temperature according to the color, transparency and inspection requirements of the glass bottle (for example, when inspecting dark glass bottles, the light intensity is increased and the color temperature is decreased to make the light penetration stronger; when inspecting light-colored glass bottles, the light intensity is decreased and the color temperature is increased to enhance the identification of minor surface defects).

[0024] For the above scheme, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1As shown, the mounting part 1 includes an n-shaped seat 11 slidably connected to the glass bottle conveyor line, and the side of the n-shaped seat 11 is provided with a wing screw 12 that abuts against the glass bottle conveyor line. In this design, the n-shaped seat 11 is slidably connected to the glass bottle conveyor line, and the n-shaped seat 11 can be easily slid along the glass bottle conveyor line according to actual inspection needs to adjust the light box to the most suitable position (e.g., close to the glass bottle area that needs to be inspected, or adjusted to a position that is convenient for inspection personnel to operate and observe); after the n-shaped seat 11 is slid to the appropriate position, the wing screw 12 is tightened to make the n-shaped seat 11 firmly fixed to the glass bottle conveyor line, which is simple and quick to operate.

[0025] For the above scheme, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 As shown, the lifting unit 3 includes an outer shell 31 vertically mounted on the vibration isolator 2. The top of the outer shell 31 is open, and a strip-shaped opening 32 is provided on its side in the height direction. An inner shell 33 is slidably fitted inside the outer shell 31. A screw 34 is provided on the side of the inner shell 33. The screw 34 is connected to the strip-shaped opening 32 and extends to the outside of the strip-shaped opening 32, where a wing nut 35 is connected. In this design, when the height of the light box needs to be adjusted, the wing nut 35 is loosened, and the inner shell 33 can slide up and down along the outer shell 31 under the restriction of the strip-shaped opening 32. After adjusting to a suitable height, the wing nut 35 is tightened. Under the action of the wing nut 35, the screw 34 generates friction with the inner wall of the strip-shaped opening 32, thereby fixing the inner shell 33 at a specific position on the outer shell 31, so that the light box is maintained at the required height.

[0026] For the above scheme, please refer to the appendix. Figure 2 As shown, the lamp housing 5 contains a light-absorbing material 7, which prevents light scattering within the housing and allows the light to be more concentrated on the glass bottle. This results in more uniform illumination of the glass bottle surface, reduces interference from background light, and enhances the contrast between defects and normal areas on the glass bottle surface. This allows inspectors to more clearly distinguish minute defects such as cracks and bubbles, improving inspection accuracy. It also reduces the impact of light on the surrounding environment, preventing discomfort to the inspectors' eyes.

[0027] For the above scheme, please refer to the appendix. Figure 3As shown, each of the four sides of the lamp housing 5 is provided with a set of elastic protective parts 8. Specifically, the protective part 8 includes a guide post 81 vertically arranged on the side of the lamp housing 5. Each guide post 81 has a limiting seat 82 installed at its end. A protective plate 83 is provided between the limiting seat 82 and the lamp housing 5. The protective plate 83 is slidably arranged on the guide post 81, and a spring 84 is provided between the protective plate 83 and the lamp housing 5. The spring 84 is sleeved on the outside of the guide post 81. In this design, when an external force is applied to the protective plate 83, the protective plate 83 will slide along the guide post 81 towards the lamp housing 5 under the action of the force, compressing the spring 84. The elastic force generated by the spring 84 will buffer the collision force, reducing the impact of the collision on the lamp housing 5 and internal components, thereby protecting the structural integrity of the lamp housing and the normal operation of internal lighting and other components. When the external force disappears, the spring 84 will return to its original state, pushing the protective plate 83 back to its initial position and continuing to play a protective role.

[0028] For the above scheme, please refer to the appendix. Figure 4 As shown, a fan 9 is installed at the rear of the lamp housing 5, and the fan 9 blows air directly towards the lamp unit 6. In this design, the lamp unit 6 generates heat during operation, causing the lamp box temperature to rise. The fan 9 blows air towards the lamp unit 6, carrying away the heat generated by the lamp unit 6 and lowering the surface temperature of the lamp box. At the same time, it can cool down the inspection personnel in summer, creating a relatively comfortable working environment for them. In addition, the air blown by the fan 9 forms an airflow at the front of the lamp box, creating an air barrier. This barrier can prevent dust, impurities, and other particles in the surrounding air from approaching the lamp unit 6 inside the lamp box, thereby keeping the inside of the lamp box clean and ensuring that the normal illumination of the light and the inspection effect are not affected by dust obstruction.

[0029] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
