Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle cap testing technology, specifically a bottle cap leak detection device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of bottle cap inspection technology, traditional bottle cap leak detection devices have many shortcomings. On the one hand, the automation level of existing devices is low, and manual operation is often required when clamping and inspecting bottles. This not only increases labor intensity but also reduces inspection efficiency. On the other hand, the detection accuracy is difficult to guarantee. Traditional detection methods mostly rely on single visual inspection, which can easily miss some minor leaks. In addition, existing devices have poor adaptability and cannot meet the inspection needs of bottles of different sizes and shapes. They also lack real-time recording and analysis functions for inspection data, which is not conducive to subsequent quality traceability and process improvement. At the same time, the stability of lighting conditions and the inspection environment during the inspection process can also have a significant impact on the inspection results, resulting in insufficient reliability of the inspection results. Therefore, we propose a bottle cap leak detection device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a bottle cap leak detection device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a bottle cap leak detection device, including a water tank, a support frame fixedly installed on the top of the water tank, a movable structure provided on the support frame, and a high-definition camera fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support frame;
[0005] The movable structure includes a hydraulic cylinder, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a connecting plate. A drive motor is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a fixing plate. A T-slot is formed on the fixing plate, and a bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably connected within the T-slot. The threads at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod are in opposite directions. A forward and reverse motor is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional threaded rod. The outer walls of both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod are respectively threaded to T-shaped threaded block one and T-shaped threaded block two. Clamping plate one and clamping plate two are fixedly mounted on T-shaped threaded block one and T-shaped threaded block two, respectively. A rubber pad is fixedly mounted on the opposite side of clamping plate one and clamping plate two, and a pressure sensor is fixedly mounted on the rubber pad. A wine bottle body is located between clamping plate one and clamping plate two.
[0006] Furthermore, the first T-shaped threaded block and the second T-shaped threaded block are slidably connected in the T-shaped groove, and a forward and reverse motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the fixing plate.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This bottle cap leak detection device, through the setting of hydraulic cylinder, bidirectional threaded rod and forward and reverse motor in the movable structure, can automatically clamp and release bottles of different sizes without manual operation, greatly improving detection efficiency. At the same time, the clamping surfaces of clamping plate one and clamping plate two are arc-shaped, and together with rubber pads and pressure sensors, it can not only ensure stable clamping of the bottle, but also avoid damage to the bottle due to excessive clamping force, realizing adaptive clamping. During the process of the drive motor driving the bottle to rotate, combined with the dynamic tracking function of high-definition camera, it realizes synchronous control of "clamping-rotation-shooting". When the bottle rotates to angles such as 30°, 90°, and 180°, the clamping plate automatically fine-tunes the clamping force to ensure that the bottle remains stable during rotation.

The ultrasonic generator can detect tiny leaks at the bottle cap by emitting ultrasonic waves. Combined with visual inspection, it forms a multi-dimensional detection system, which significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection and effectively avoids the occurrence of missed detections.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 A bottle cap leak detection device includes a water tank 1, a support frame 2 fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 1, a movable structure 3 provided on the support frame 2, and a high-definition camera 4 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support frame 2.
[0022] The active structure 3 includes a hydraulic cylinder 31. A connecting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 31. A drive motor 33 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 32. A fixing plate 34 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 33. A T-slot 35 is provided on the fixing plate 34. A bidirectional threaded rod 36 is rotatably connected in the T-slot 35. The threads at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 36 have opposite directions. A forward and reverse motor 37 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 36. The outer walls of both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 36 are threadedly connected to T-shaped threaded block 1 38 and T-shaped threaded block 2 39, respectively. A clamping plate 1 310 and a clamping plate 2 311 are fixedly installed on the T-shaped threaded block 1 38 and T-shaped threaded block 2 39, respectively. A rubber pad 312 is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the clamping plate 1 310 and clamping plate 2 311. A pressure sensor 313 is fixedly installed on the rubber pad 312. A wine bottle body 314 is provided between the clamping plate 1 310 and clamping plate 2 311.
[0023] In this embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder 31, the bidirectional threaded rod 36, and the forward and reverse motors 37 in the movable structure 3 enable automatic clamping and release of wine bottle bodies 314 of different sizes without manual operation, greatly improving detection efficiency. At the same time, the clamping surfaces of clamping plate one 310 and clamping plate two 311 are arc-shaped, which, together with the rubber pad 312 and the pressure sensor 313, can ensure stable clamping of the wine bottle and avoid damage to the wine bottle due to excessive clamping force, thus achieving adaptive clamping. During the process of the drive motor 33 driving the wine bottle to rotate, combined with the dynamic tracking function of the high-definition camera 4, synchronous control of "clamping-rotation-shooting" is achieved. When the wine bottle rotates to angles such as 30°, 90°, and 180°, the clamping plates automatically fine-tune the clamping force to ensure that the bottle body remains stable during rotation. At the same time, the camera 4 captures images of bubble leakage at various angles.
[0024] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, T-shaped threaded block 1 38 and T-shaped threaded block 2 39 are slidably connected in T-shaped groove 35, and a forward and reverse motor 37 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the fixing plate 34.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the top of the water tank 1 has an annular groove 5, a supplementary light 6 is fixedly installed in the annular groove 5, a glass plate 7 is fixedly installed in the water tank 1, an ultrasonic generator 8 is installed in the water tank 1, and a placement block 9 is fixedly installed in the water tank 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, the glass plate 7 and the placement block 9 inside the water tank 1 provide a stable placement platform for the wine bottle, ensuring that the wine bottle will not shake during the test, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the test results.
[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, a programmable controller 10 is fixedly installed on the support frame 2. The programmable controller 10 is electrically connected to the hydraulic cylinder 31, the drive motor 33, the forward and reverse motor 37, the pressure sensor 313, and the ultrasonic generator 8. The programmable controller 10 is electrically connected to the data processing module 11. The data processing module 11 is electrically connected to the data storage module 12.
[0028] In this embodiment, the programmable controller 10 is electrically connected to the hydraulic cylinder 31, drive motor 33, forward and reverse motor 37, pressure sensor 313, ultrasonic generator 8, etc., realizing the automated control of the entire detection process. The data processing module 11 and data storage module 12 can process and store the detection data in real time, which is convenient for subsequent quality analysis and traceability. In addition, the programmable controller 10 communicates with external terminals through the wireless communication module, allowing staff to remotely monitor the detection process and obtain detection data, improving the convenience and efficiency of management.
[0029] In this application, the power supply line of the forward and reverse motor 37 is connected to the power supply terminal of the generator via a cable; then the programmable controller 10 controls the power phase sequence of the forward and reverse motor 37 through the output module to achieve forward and reverse switching; the programmable controller 10 controls the power phase sequence of the drive motor 33 through the output module to achieve rotation, and its control terminal is controlled by an external power supply control device through a wiring harness.
[0030] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the length direction of the T-slot 35 is consistent with the axial direction of the bidirectional threaded rod 36, and the clamping surfaces of clamping plate 1 310 and clamping plate 2 311 are arc-shaped.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the programmable controller 10 is connected to an external terminal via a wireless communication module, and the ultrasonic generator 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water tank 1.
[0032] In this embodiment, the supplementary light 6 (LED light) in the annular groove 5 can provide uniform and stable light, improve the lighting conditions of the detection environment, enable the high-definition camera 4 to acquire clearer images, and further improve the effect of visual detection.
[0033] In use, after the forward and reverse motor 37 starts, it drives the bidirectional threaded rod 36 to rotate. Since the threads at both ends rotate in opposite directions, the T-shaped threaded block 38 and the T-shaped threaded block 39 move relative to or away from each other in the T-slot 35, thereby pushing the clamping plates 310 and 311 to clamp or release the bottle body 314. The clamping surface of the clamping plates has an arc-shaped design, which, together with the rubber pad 312 and the pressure sensor 313, can adapt to bottles of different diameters. At the same time, the clamping force is adjusted in real time through feedback from the pressure sensor to avoid damage to the bottle body. The hydraulic cylinder 31 drives the connecting plate 32 to move up and down, driving the entire clamping structure (34-314) to rise and fall, so that the bottle is accurately immersed in the detection position in the water tank 1. The drive motor 33 can rotate the fixed plate 34, allowing the bottle to rotate at multiple angles during the inspection process, ensuring that all parts of the bottle cap can be fully inspected. The supplementary light 6 (LED light) is installed in the annular groove 5 at the top of the water tank 1 to provide uniform illumination and avoid reflection affecting the inspection effect. The high-definition camera 4 is fixed to the inner wall of the support frame 2 to capture real-time images of the area where the bottle cap is immersed in water. If there is a leak in the bottle cap, bubbles will be generated in the water. The camera captures the bubble image and transmits it to the data processing module 11. The ultrasonic generator 8 is fixed to the inner wall of the water tank 1 and emits ultrasonic waves into the water. When there are tiny cracks or pores in the bottle cap, the ultrasonic waves will be reflected or attenuated due to changes in the medium (such as gas leakage). By analyzing changes in sound wave signals, minute leaks that are difficult to detect with the naked eye can be identified. The programmable controller 10, as the core control unit, has a preset detection process: After startup, the hydraulic cylinder 31 drives the clamping structure to descend, immersing the bottle into the glass plate 7 in the water tank. A block 9 is placed to help stabilize the bottle. The forward and reverse motors 37 control the clamping plates to hold the bottle, and the drive motor 33 rotates the bottle. Simultaneously, the high-definition camera 4 and the ultrasonic generator 8 work synchronously. After detection, the clamping structure rises, releasing the bottle for the next round of detection. The pressure sensor 313 provides real-time feedback of clamping force data to ensure stable clamping. The detection data from the high-definition camera 4 and the ultrasonic generator 8 are transmitted to the data processing unit. The processing module 11 analyzes whether there is a leak through algorithms, and the data storage module 12 records the time, results and image data of each test for easy traceability and quality statistics. The programmable controller 10 connects to an external terminal (such as a computer or mobile phone) through a wireless communication module, allowing staff to remotely view the testing progress, receive alarm information (such as a leak detected), and remotely adjust the device parameters. The glass plate 7 and the placement block 9 in the water tank 1 provide a stable support surface for the wine bottle, preventing the bottle from shaking during the test and affecting the accuracy of the data. The ultrasonic generator 8 is combined with visual inspection to form a "physical + visual" dual detection system, which improves the detection rate of minor leaks and reduces the risk of missed detection.
