[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. 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.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-8 In this embodiment of the present invention, a frame for detecting liquid level in a capped container is provided. The frame includes a base 1, a first slider 2, a first adjusting seat 3, and at least one guide post 4. The first slider 2 is slidably mounted on the upper end surface of the base 1. A first guide groove 21 is provided on the side of the first slider 2. The first guide groove 21 is arranged at an angle A on the left and right sides of the first slider 2. A sliding through groove 31 is provided at the lower end of the first adjusting seat 3. A guide block 32 is provided on the sliding through groove 31. The guide block 32 is arranged at an angle A on the left and right inner sides of the sliding through groove 31. The guide block 32 is slidably mounted in the first guide groove 21. The first adjusting seat 3 has at least one guide hole 33. One end of the guide post 4 is mounted on the upper end surface of the base 1, and the other end of the guide post 4 passes through the guide hole 33 to provide guidance for the first adjusting seat 3 when it is raised or lowered. The first slider 2 is also provided with a first electric cylinder 22. The output end of the first electric cylinder 22 is connected to one end face of the first slider 2 to drive the first slider 2 to slide. The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: A frame for detecting the liquid level of a capped container allows the capped container to adjust its height during liquid level detection to accommodate beverages of different sizes. The first slider 2 is slidably connected to the first adjusting seat 3. The frame can achieve a lifting effect through the cooperation of the first guide groove 21 with an inclination and the guide block 32.

[0028] Further as Figures 1-8 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the inclination A is 15° to 45°. When the inclination A is 15°, the lifting speed of the first adjusting seat 3 is the slowest, the first slider 2 can slide more smoothly, and the driving force of the first electric cylinder 22 is the smallest, which is suitable for precision adjustment.

[0029] In another embodiment of this utility model, when the inclination A is 45°, the lifting speed of the first adjusting seat 3 is the fastest, and the resistance encountered by the first slider 2 when sliding is greater. Therefore, the first electric cylinder 22 needs to apply a larger driving force to drive the first slider 2 to slide, which is suitable for rapid adjustment.

[0030] Further as Figures 1-2As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the first adjusting seat 3 has two guide holes 33, and two guide posts are provided for passing through the guide holes 33 respectively. The use of two sets of guide holes 33 and guide posts makes the first adjusting seat 3 more stable during lifting and lowering. While providing guidance, it also restricts the position of the first adjusting seat 3, thus improving the overall frame's durability. The double guide posts 4 are symmetrically distributed to counteract lateral forces and prevent the first adjusting seat 3 from tilting.

[0031] Further as Figures 1-5 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, a first slide rail 11 is provided on the upper end surface of the base 1, and a first slide groove 23 is provided on the lower end surface of the first slider 2. The first slide groove 23 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail 11. The first slide rail 11 and the first slide groove 23 cooperate to eliminate lateral displacement of the slider and improve the lifting and positioning accuracy.

[0032] Further as Figures 1-6 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, a feeding device 5 is provided on the upper surface of the first adjusting seat 3. The feeding device 5 includes a second adjusting seat 51, a lead screw 52, ​​and a rotary motor 53. The second adjusting seat 51 is slidably mounted on the upper surface of the first adjusting seat 3. A threaded hole 511 is provided on the rear end surface of the second adjusting seat 51. One end of the lead screw 52 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 511, and the driving end of the rotary motor 53 is connected to the other end of the lead screw 52. The rotary motor 53 drives the lead screw 52 to rotate, which can cause the second adjusting seat 51 to slide. The operator can change the position between the first detection module and the second detection module to adapt to different detection needs.

[0033] Further as Figures 1-4 and Figure 8 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the upper end face of the first adjusting seat 3 is provided with a second slide rail 34, and the lower end face of the second adjusting seat 51 is provided with a second slide groove 512. The second slide groove 512 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 34. The first adjusting seat 3 may be provided with at least one set of second slide rails 34 to limit the sliding direction of the second adjusting seat 51. When the motor drives the lead screw 52 to rotate, the lead screw 52 drives the second adjusting seat 51 to slide only in the extension direction of the second slide rail 34, which can avoid the risk of the second adjusting seat 51 deviating during sliding.

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the first adjusting seat 3 may be provided with two sets of second slide rails 34, and the second adjusting seat 51 is correspondingly provided with two sets of second slide grooves 512, so that the second adjusting seat 51 is more stable when sliding, the double slide rails enhance the anti-torsion ability and avoid uneven force on the lead screw 52.

[0035] Further as Figures 1-8As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, a capped liquid level detection device including the aforementioned frame has a first detection module located at the end of the second adjusting seat 51 away from the rotating motor 53. The first detection module includes at least one set of first connecting rods 513 and a first camera probe 514. One end of the first connecting rod 513 is detachably mounted on the front end face of the second adjusting seat 51, and the other end of the first connecting rod 513 is detachably connected to the first camera probe 514. The connection methods between the first connecting rod 513 and the second adjusting seat 51 include, but are not limited to, threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, and adhesive connection. The connection methods between the first camera and the first connecting rod 513 include, but are not limited to, threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, and adhesive connection.

[0036] Further as Figures 1-8 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, a second guide groove 515 is formed on the lower end face of the second adjusting seat 51. A second electric cylinder 516 is provided in the second guide groove 515. The second electric cylinder 516 is installed in the second guide groove 515. The installation method of the second electric cylinder 516 includes, but is not limited to, threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, etc. The output end of the second electric cylinder 516 is provided with a second detection module. The second detection module includes at least one set of second connecting rods 517 and a second camera probe 518. One end of the second connecting rod 517 is slidably installed in the second guide groove 515, and the other end of the second connecting rod 517 is installed with the second camera probe 518. The output end of the second electric cylinder 516 is detachably connected to the second connecting rod 517. The output end of the second electric cylinder 516 may be threaded. A through hole is formed at one end of the second connecting rod 517. The output end of the second motor is passed through the through hole and then installed by a nut. Specifically, the connection between the second connecting rod 517 and the second camera probe 518 can be achieved by setting one end of the second connecting rod 517 into a spherical shape and one end of the second camera probe 518 into a ball-and-socket shape. By inserting the spherical ball into the ball-and-socket, a ball joint is formed between the two, allowing the second camera probe 518 to rotate or swing in multiple directions within a certain range. This is beneficial for adjusting the camera angle and facilitating better detection of the beverage level. Similarly, the first connecting rod 513 and the first camera probe 514 can also adopt the above connection method.

[0037] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The second electric cylinder 516 pushes the second connecting rod 517 to extend and retract along the second guide groove 515, thereby driving the second camera probe 518 to move vertically. The second camera probe 518 is connected to the connecting rod through a ball joint, which can support fine-tuning of the angle. Through the coordinated operation of the first detection module and the second detection module, the reliability of the detection can be improved.

[0038] In another embodiment of this utility model, the connection between the second connecting rod 517 and the second camera probe 518 can also be a detachable method such as threaded connection or snap-fit ​​connection, so that each component is modularized and standard parts with screws or bolts and nuts are used, which can be easily replaced. Similarly, the first connecting rod 513 and the first camera probe 514 can adopt the above connection method.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
