Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine bottle manufacturing technology, and in particular, to a bottle bottom detection device. Background Technology
[0002] Glass wine bottles are transparent containers made from raw materials such as quartz powder and limestone, blown at a high temperature of 1600℃. They are characterized by strong sealing, corrosion resistance, and high transparency, effectively preventing alcohol evaporation and oxidation. Their surfaces can be painted, engraved, and other artistic processing, combining practicality and cultural value. They are widely used in the packaging of liquors such as baijiu and red wine, and are an important carrier of wine culture.
[0003] During the manufacturing process of glass wine bottles, the bottle body needs to be inspected. Among these, the inspection of the bottle bottom mostly relies on human observation, because the bottle bottom usually needs to be in contact with the conveyor line for the bottle to be transported, which makes it difficult to achieve online inspection of the bottle bottom using equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a bottle bottom detection device.
[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A bottle bottom detection device includes a frame joined between two opposing conveyor lines, two drive belts disposed opposite each other on the frame, a bottle inlet channel defined between the two drive belts, and the two drive belts cooperating to clamp the top of the bottle and suspend the bottom of the bottle in the air, and also includes a detection camera adapted to capture images of the bottom of the bottle.
[0007] Preferably, the frame includes two opposing mounting units, and the two drive belts are respectively mounted on the two mounting units.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting unit includes a mounting frame slidably disposed toward one side of the conveyor line, and the transmission belt is mounted on the mounting frame.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting unit further includes a slide rail, the mounting bracket is slidably adapted to the slide rail, and the mounting bracket is also provided with an adjustment mechanism.
[0010] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes a lead screw, and a connecting lug is provided on the side wall of the mounting bracket, the connecting lug being connected to the nut of the lead screw.
[0011] Preferably, the two drive belts are also adapted to be driven at different operating speeds, thereby causing the clamped bottle to rotate.
[0012] Preferably, a handwheel is provided at the end of the lead screw.
[0013] Preferably, each of the mounting units includes two slide rails, the mounting frame has a U-shaped structure, and the two connecting rods of the mounting frame are respectively slidably adapted to the two slide rails.
[0014] Preferably, a chain is connected between the two lead screws within the mounting unit.
[0015] Preferably, a cleaning plate is flexibly provided at the end of the aforementioned conveyor line, the cleaning plate is provided with bristles, and a cam is coaxially provided on the drive wheel at the end of the aforementioned conveyor line. The rotation of the cam can push the cleaning plate out, and the bristles are adapted to abut the bottom of the bottle.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Bottles from the previous conveyor line enter the bottle inlet channel and are held by two drive belts, moving towards the next conveyor line. During this process, the bottom of the bottle is suspended in the air, allowing the inspection camera to capture and inspect it. Compared with existing technologies, this invention achieves bottle clamping and transfer by setting drive belts between two conveyor lines, and the bottle bottom remains suspended for easy inspection. After inspection, the bottle can seamlessly enter the next conveyor line for the next process. In summary, online inspection of the bottle bottom is achieved, improving the production efficiency and quality of bottles. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a bottle bottom detection device includes a frame 2 connected between two opposing conveyor lines 1. Two drive belts 3 are positioned opposite each other on the frame 2, respectively located on both sides of the conveyor lines 1, and adapted to form a bottle inlet channel 4. When a bottle is transferred from one conveyor line 1 to the next, it enters the bottle inlet channel 4, where the two drive belts 3 work together to clamp the top of the bottle. As the two drive belts 3 move, the bottle in the bottle inlet channel 4 shifts towards the next conveyor line 1, during which time the bottom of the bottle is suspended in the air. Accordingly, this invention also includes a detection camera 5, which can photograph and detect the suspended bottle bottom.
[0022] In some embodiments, the frame 2 specifically includes a mounting platform and two mounting units 6 opposite each other on the mounting platform. Each mounting unit 6 includes a slide rail 8 and a mounting bracket 7 slidably adapted to the slide rail 8. The aforementioned drive belt 3 is mounted on the corresponding mounting bracket 7. The slide rail 8 is preferably extended perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor line 1. This allows the mounting bracket 7 and the drive belt 3 to move closer to or further away from the conveyor line 1, thereby adjusting the width of the bottle inlet channel 4. That is, the clamping width of the two drive belts 3 can be changed to accommodate the clamping and transfer requirements of bottles of different sizes.
[0023] For example, the mounting frame 7 may also be equipped with an adjustment mechanism 9, which allows for convenient changes to the lateral position of the mounting frame 7. In a preferred example, the mounting frame 7 has a U-shaped structure, specifically including a frame body and connecting rods disposed on both sides of the frame body. Each mounting unit 6 is mounted on two slide rails 8 on the mounting platform, and the connecting rods are slidably fitted onto the slide rails 8. The transmission belt 3 is correspondingly mounted on the corresponding frame body. Each connecting rod has a connecting lug 11 on its side wall, and the adjustment mechanism 9 includes a rotatable lead screw 10, with the connecting lug 11 connected to the nut of the lead screw 10.
[0024] When the lateral position of the mounting frame 7 needs adjustment, the lead screw 10 can be rotated, and the axial movement of the nut on the lead screw 10 will drive the mounting frame 7 to move laterally. To ensure the synchronous movement of the two connecting rods within each mounting unit 6, a transmission chain 13 can be connected between the two lead screws 10 within the same mounting unit 6. In this case, when one lead screw 10 rotates, the other lead screw 10 will also rotate, preventing the transmission belt 3 from tilting relative to the conveyor line 1. For example, a handwheel 12 can also be provided at the end of each lead screw 10 for easy gripping by the operator and for driving the rotation of the lead screw 10.
[0025] In some embodiments, the two drive belts 3 are driven to rotate by corresponding motors. After the detection camera 5 completes the detection of the bottom of the bottle, for example, if it finds that the circumferential posture of the bottle does not meet expectations, the two motors can drive the two drive belts 3 to run at different speeds. At this time, the bottle will rotate under the action of the speed difference until the bottle enters the next conveyor line 1 and is in the expected circumferential posture.
[0026] In possible cases, the bottom of the bottle is marked with a template. By judging the circumferential position of the template, the current circumferential posture of the bottle can be determined. Then, the rotation speed of the two motors can be controlled to rotate the bottle to the expected circumferential angle.
[0027] In some embodiments, a spring-loaded cleaning plate 14 may be provided at the end of the preceding conveyor line 1, and a cam 16 may be coaxially mounted on a drive wheel at the end of the preceding conveyor line 1. During the operation of the preceding conveyor line 1, the drive wheel drives the cam 16 to rotate, and during the rotation of the cam 16, the cam 16 pushes the cleaning plate 14 outward. For example, the cleaning plate 14 may also be provided with bristles 15, which clean the bottom of the bottle relative to the bottle body. Stains that adhere to the bottom of the bottle during the production process or due to contact with the conveyor line 1 will be removed, and then the inspection camera 5 can accurately photograph and inspect the defects on the bottom of the bottle itself.
[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or related technologies or knowledge. Modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be protected within the scope of the appended claims.
