Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wine bottle inspection technology, specifically to a wine bottle appearance quality defect detection system. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process, some wine bottles may develop appearance defects, such as cracks and bubbles, impurities inside the bottle, or incomplete printing of designs. Bubbles or cracks can reduce the bottle's strength, making it prone to breakage during transportation or storage. Impurities on the bottle may react chemically with the wine, affecting its quality and taste. Incomplete printing affects the overall aesthetics of the bottle, hinders the communication of relevant information, and damages the brand image. Therefore, it is necessary to inspect for appearance defects in wine bottles.

[0003] Currently, the detection of defects in the appearance of wine bottles mainly relies on specialized inspectors to visually assess whether defects exist. This method is low-cost and simple to operate, and can quickly detect obvious defects, but it is inefficient, prone to missed or incorrect detections, and it is difficult to standardize the testing criteria. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a wine bottle appearance quality defect detection system. The system uses a feeding mechanism to transfer wine bottles from the feeding conveyor line to a bottle moving mechanism. The bottle moving mechanism then drives the bottles through a visual inspection station for appearance quality inspection. Finally, an unloading mechanism transfers the bottles from the bottle moving mechanism back to the feeding conveyor line for further transport. The entire inspection process is handled by mechanical equipment instead of manual labor, standardizing inspection procedures and improving inspection efficiency and effectiveness.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A wine bottle appearance quality defect detection system includes a feeding conveyor line and a wine bottle moving mechanism disposed on one side of the feeding conveyor line.

[0007] Preferably, the bottle moving mechanism includes a frame with an annular track spaced vertically on the frame. A feeding mechanism and a discharging mechanism are mounted on the frame. Several transfer seats are provided on the annular track, with the upper and lower transfer seats aligned in pairs. A mounting frame is installed on the transfer seat, and a rotating clamping mechanism for clamping and rotating the bottle is provided on the mounting frame.

[0008] Preferably, the rotary clamping mechanism includes a motor and a screw jack. The motor is mounted on the lower mounting frame and connected to a turntable. The screw jack is mounted on the upper mounting frame and connected to a vertically arranged screw. The lower end of the screw is rotatably connected to a top plate. A guide rod that is slidably connected to the mounting frame is vertically connected to the top plate.

[0030] The following is combined Figures 1-7 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0031] Example

[0032] A wine bottle appearance quality defect detection system includes a feeding conveyor line 1 and a wine bottle moving mechanism 5 disposed on one side of the feeding conveyor line 1. The wine bottle moving mechanism 5 is connected to a loading mechanism 2 for clamping wine bottles 100 from the feeding conveyor line 1 onto the wine bottle moving mechanism 5 and a unloading mechanism 6 for clamping wine bottles 100 from the wine bottle moving mechanism 5 onto the feeding conveyor line 1. A visual inspection station 4 is disposed on one side of the wine bottle moving mechanism 5.

[0033] The feeding mechanism 2 transfers the wine bottles 100 on the feeding conveyor line 1 to the wine bottle moving mechanism 5. The wine bottle moving mechanism 5 drives the wine bottles 100 through the visual inspection station 4 for appearance quality inspection. Finally, the unloading mechanism 6 transfers the wine bottles 100 on the wine bottle moving mechanism 5 to the feeding conveyor line 1 for conveying. The entire inspection process is handled by mechanical equipment instead of manual labor, which unifies the inspection standards and improves the inspection efficiency and effect.

[0034] The bottle moving mechanism 5 includes a frame (not shown in the figure), on which are arranged vertically spaced annular tracks 501. A loading mechanism 2 and a unloading mechanism 6 are mounted on the frame, extending between the two annular tracks 501. Several transfer seats 502 are arranged on the annular tracks 501, with the upper and lower transfer seats 502 aligned and moving synchronously. A mounting frame 503 is mounted on each transfer seat 502, and the mounting frame 503 is equipped with a rotating clamping mechanism for holding and rotating the bottle 100. The loading mechanism 2 moves the bottle 100 between the upper and lower transfer seats 502, where it is then clamped by the rotating clamping mechanism. When the bottle 100 moves to the visual inspection station 4, the rotating clamping mechanism rotates the bottle 100, allowing the visual inspection station 4 to completely inspect the bottle 100.

[0035] The rotary clamping mechanism includes a motor 510 and a screw jack 506. The motor 510 is mounted on the lower mounting bracket 503 and a turntable 512 is connected to the motor 510. The screw jack 506 is mounted on the upper mounting bracket 503 and is connected to a vertically arranged screw 505. The lower end of the screw 505 is rotatably connected to a top plate 507. A guide rod 504 that is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 503 is vertically connected to the top plate 507. A rotary joint 509 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the top plate 507, and a conical head 508 is connected to the lower end of the rotary joint 509.

[0036] The screw jack 506 drives the screw 505 and, in conjunction with the guide rod 504, enables the top plate 507 to be raised and lowered stably. The conical head 508 can be inserted into the neck of the bottle 100 for positioning, and simultaneously works with the turntable 512 to clamp and fix it. When the turntable 512 drives the bottle 100 to rotate, the conical head 508 rotates simultaneously due to friction, ensuring that the bottle 100 can be rotated for detection. This lifting and clamping mechanism, combined with the design of the conical head 508, allows for clamping bottles of different heights and neck sizes, making it widely applicable. The conical head 508 is made of nylon, maintaining structural strength while preventing damage to the bottle neck.

[0037] A silicone pad 511 is provided on the upper surface of the turntable 512. The silicone pad 511 can increase the friction with the wine bottle 100, thereby rotating the wine bottle 100 better, and can also prevent the bottom of the wine bottle 100 from being scratched by the turntable 512.

[0038] The feeding mechanism 2 and the unloading mechanism 6 include a linear guide rail 201, on which a movable seat 202 is mounted. A bidirectional telescopic cylinder 203, which extends and retracts along the width of the feeding conveyor line 1, is connected to the movable seat 202. A clamping arm 204 is connected to the telescopic end of the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 203. The linear guide rail 201 is fixed to the frame. After the bidirectional telescopic cylinder 203 retracts, the clamping arm 204 clamps and fixes the bottle 100, and the movable seat 202 then moves the bottle 100 between the turntable 512 and the conical head 508, thus completing the transfer operation of the bottle 100.

[0039] A protective pad 205 is provided on the inner side of the clamping arm 204. The protective pad 205 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene to prevent the surface of the wine bottle 100 from being scratched.

[0040] A bottle bottom position detection station 3 is located below the movement path of the loading mechanism 2 between the feeding conveyor line 1 and the bottle moving mechanism 5. The bottle bottom position detection station 3 includes a ring light source, which provides a bright detection environment. A detection camera is positioned at the center of the ring light source. The detection camera can detect specific structural features on the bottom of the bottle 100 and use these features as a reference to mark the bottle's angular position, thus facilitating subsequent detection of whether the bottle label is aligned correctly. Specifically, in this application, the bottom of the bottle 100 has a "W" mark. The bottle bottom position detection station 3 can detect the deflection angle of the "W" mark. When the bottle 100 is placed on the turntable 512, the turntable 512 can rotate at a certain angle (determined based on the detection result of the bottle bottom position detection station 3) to rotate the bottle 100 to the correct position, thereby allowing the visual inspection station 4 to detect whether the bottle label is aligned correctly.

[0041] The visual inspection station 4 includes an inspection mounting frame 401, on which are mounted a bottle neck scanning camera 402, a bottle body scanning camera 403, a logo scanning camera 404, an interior scanning camera 405, and a linear scanning light source 406. The bottle neck scanning camera 402 scans the neck of the bottle 100 to detect neck patterns and cracks; the bottle body scanning camera 403 scans the body of the bottle 100 to detect body patterns and cracks; the logo scanning camera 404 detects the logo on the bottle 100; the interior scanning camera 405 detects impurities inside the bottle 100; and the linear scanning light source 406 provides a bright inspection environment.

[0042] The feeding conveyor line 1 is connected to a defective product conveyor line 8 and a finished product conveyor line 9 at its end. The feeding conveyor line 1 is equipped with a rejection mechanism 7 for directing the bottles 100 to either the defective product conveyor line 8 or the finished product conveyor line 9. During the inspection process, if a defective bottle 100 is detected, it is directed to the defective product conveyor line 8 via the rejection mechanism 7; otherwise, a non-defective bottle 100 is directed to the finished product conveyor line 9 via the rejection mechanism 7.

[0043] The rejection mechanism 7 includes a fixed frame 701, which can be fixed to the side of the feeding conveyor line 1. Two vertically arranged baffles 702 are hinged to the fixed frame 701. The two baffles 702 are spaced apart and are hinged to the same linkage plate 704. A drive telescopic rod 703, which is hinged to the linkage plate 704, is also hinged to the fixed frame 701. The drive telescopic rod 703 drives the linkage plate 704 to swing through its own extension and retraction, thereby driving the two baffles 702 to deflect toward the defective product conveyor line 8 or the finished product conveyor line 9. The two baffles 702 guide the movement of the wine bottle 100.

[0044] A protective cover 10 is installed on the outside of the feeding conveyor line 1. The bottle moving mechanism 5 is located inside the protective cover 10. The protective cover 10 is equipped with glass to facilitate the inspection process and ensure that it is normal. The protective cover 10 is also equipped with relevant control terminals and control buttons to facilitate intelligent control of the electrical components in the entire system.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
