Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of detection device technology, specifically a follow-up wine bottle detection device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of wine bottles, or after the wine is filled, it is usually necessary to inspect the bottle body or the foreign objects inside the bottle for defects. The common inspection method is to use a conveyor to transport the bottle in a straight line and use a sampling camera to collect images of the bottle body or the inside of the bottle. Based on the image acquisition results, it is determined whether there are defects in the bottle body or other foreign objects inside the bottle.

[0003] The aforementioned linear conveying method requires a large deployment space for the bottles. Furthermore, the bottles need to pause for a preset time when passing the sampling camera to meet the camera's sampling requirements, resulting in low detection efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a follow-up wine bottle detection device.

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

[0006] A follow-up wine bottle inspection device includes a base plate and a conveying system thereon. A feeding and discharging system is provided on one side of the conveying system, and an inspection system is provided corresponding to the conveying system. The conveying system is configured to dock with the feeding and discharging system to receive wine bottles or to transfer wine bottles to the feeding and discharging system for transport. During the transportation of the wine bottles with the conveying system, the inspection system can perform the inspection of defects in the bottle body or defects in foreign objects inside the bottle.

[0007] As one of the core technical concepts of this utility model, the conveying system includes a wheel horizontally set above the base plate, with several bottle-fixing units arranged around its outer circumference. The bottle-fixing units are configured to connect with the feeding and discharging system to complete the transfer of wine bottles. This wheel-type transfer method effectively reduces the space requirements for equipment layout.

[0008] As another core technical concept of this utility model, the detection system includes a transfer plate located on the upper side of the wheel and coaxially rotating with the wheel. The transfer plate is configured to reciprocate. The detection system also includes a connecting arm, one end of which is connected to the transfer plate, and the other end extends above the rotation trajectory of the bottle-fixing unit. A sampling camera is provided on the lower side. Based on this structure, the movement of the transfer plate can drive the sampling camera at the outer end of the connecting arm to swing back and forth. When the bottle rotates with the wheel to the initial position of the sampling camera swing, the rotation of the transfer plate can drive the sampling camera to move synchronously with the bottle. When the sampling camera moves to the end position of the swing, it quickly returns and continues to swing with the next bottle or the next group of bottles. During the synchronous movement with the bottle, the image acquisition work is completed. The follow-up detection method eliminates the waiting time during the transportation of the bottle, which significantly improves the detection efficiency of bottle defects or foreign object defects inside the bottle.

[0009] As described above, in order to improve the accuracy of the detection effect of the detection system, in a preferred embodiment of the follow-up wine bottle detection device, there are multiple connecting arms, and multiple sets of sampling cameras corresponding to the multiple connecting arms, and the sampling direction of each set of sampling cameras is different.

[0010] As described above, the follow-up wine bottle detection device further includes a rotation drive unit connected to the wheel drive and a swing drive unit connected to the transfer plate drive. To facilitate the layout of the rotation drive unit and the swing drive unit and to prevent interference between the layout of the rotation drive unit and the detection work, both the rotation drive unit and the swing drive unit are located on the underside of the base plate.

[0011] Specifically, the rotation drive unit includes a fixed base located in the middle of the base plate, and a first drive shaft vertically rotatably disposed within the fixed base, with the wheel located at the upper end of the first drive shaft; the swing drive unit includes a second drive shaft vertically rotatably disposed within the first drive shaft, with the adapter plate located at the upper part of the second drive shaft; based on the above structure, the lower end of the first drive shaft extends out of the fixed base and is provided with a first gear, and a rotation drive motor connected to it is provided on its outer side; the lower end of the second drive shaft extends out of the first drive shaft and is provided with a second gear, and a swing drive motor connected to it is provided on its outer side.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, in order to make it easier to control the swing angle of the sampling camera and prevent excessive swing, the second gear has a sector-shaped structure, and position sensors are provided at both ends of its outer swing trajectory.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment, in order to make the rotation of the adapter plate more stable, and thus make the swing of the sampling camera driven by the connecting arm more stable, to prevent excessive shaking during swing and to ensure the image acquisition quality of the sampling camera, a gantry is also provided on the upper side of the base plate, and the upper end of the second drive shaft passes through the adapter plate and is rotatably connected to the upper part of the gantry.

[0014] As described above, in order to make the transport of wine bottles by the conveying system more stable, the bottle fixing unit includes a tray that can support the wine bottles, and clamps on both sides that can clamp the wine bottles on the tray.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model is a follow-up bottle inspection device. The bottle can be transported circumferentially with the wheel. This wheel-type transfer method effectively reduces the space requirements for equipment deployment. The movement of the transfer plate can drive the sampling camera at the outer end of the connecting arm to swing back and forth. When the bottle rotates with the wheel to the initial position of the sampling camera swing, the rotation of the transfer plate can drive the sampling camera to move synchronously with the bottle. When the sampling camera moves to the end position of the swing, it quickly returns and continues to swing with the next bottle or the next group of bottles. During the synchronous movement with the bottle, the image acquisition work is completed. The follow-up inspection method eliminates the waiting time for bottle transportation and significantly improves the efficiency of detecting bottle defects or foreign object defects inside the bottle.

[0028] Example

[0029] This embodiment provides a follow-up wine bottle detection device, see [link / reference] Figure 1 The device includes a horizontally arranged base plate 1 and a conveying system 2 arranged on it. A feeding and discharging system 3 is provided on one side of the conveying system 2, and a detection system 4 is also provided corresponding to the conveying system 2. The conveying system 2 is configured to connect with the feeding and discharging system 3 to receive wine bottles or to transfer wine bottles to the feeding and discharging system 3 for transport. During the transportation of the wine bottles with the conveying system 2, the detection system 4 can complete the detection of defects in the bottle body or defects of foreign objects inside the bottle. The structure of the detection device (the above-mentioned follow-up wine bottle detection device) will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As one of the core technical concepts of this utility model, the conveying system 2 includes a wheel 21 horizontally set above the base plate 1, with a number of bottle-fixing units 22 arranged around its outer circumference. It should be noted that only three sets of bottle-fixing units 22 are shown in the attached drawings. In reality, the bottle-fixing units 22 are arranged in a full array around the outer circumference of the wheel 21. The bottle-fixing units 22 are designed to be able to connect with the feeding and discharging system 3 to complete the transfer of wine bottles. This wheel 21-type transfer method effectively reduces the space requirements for equipment layout.

[0031] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5Regarding the structure of the bottle-fixing unit 22, the outer ring of the wheel 21 is provided with several mounting ports. The bottle-fixing unit 22 includes a mounting base 221 provided in the mounting port and a vertical rod 222 provided in the mounting base 221. The upper end of the vertical rod 222 extends out of the fixing base. The bottle-fixing unit 22 also includes a tray 223 horizontally provided on the upper end of the vertical rod 222 and capable of supporting the wine bottle. When the bottle-fixing unit 22 rotates with the wheel 21 to the position of the feeding and discharging system 3, the tray 223 can support the wine bottle, or the feeding and discharging system 3 can transport the wine bottle on the tray 223 out of the wheel 21.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, in order to make the transport of the wine bottles with the conveying system 2 more stable, the two sides of the pallet 223 are also provided with grippers 224 that can clamp the wine bottles on the pallet 223.

[0033] Specifically, the upper end of the vertical rod 222 is provided with a U-shaped groove, and two grippers 224 are provided opposite to each other, with one end hinged to the inside of the upper end of the U-shaped groove and the other end extending to the outside of the support plate 223. The bottle fixing unit 22 also includes a driving block 225 that is vertically slidably disposed in the U-shaped groove. The two grippers 224 are hinged to the support block through a hinge connecting rod. The lifting and lowering of the support block can drive the two grippers 224 to clamp or release the wine bottle on the support plate 223.

[0034] Furthermore, the bottle-fixing unit 22 also includes a drive rod 226 vertically disposed inside the vertical rod 222. Its upper end is connected to the drive block 225, and its lower end extends out of the vertical rod 222 and is provided with a guide mechanism 227. The base plate 1 is also provided with a guide rail. The guide rail is located below the side of the wheel 21 near the feeding and discharging system 3. The guide mechanism 227 is configured to pull down the drive rod 226 under the action of the guide rail when the wheel 21 rotates to the guide rail position, thereby pulling the drive block 225 to release the gripper 224, so as to receive the wine bottle or transfer the wine bottle to the feeding and discharging system 3. A spring is also provided between the drive block 225 and the vertical rod 222. The guide mechanism 227 is configured to move the drive block 225 upward under the action of the spring when the wheel 21 rotates to the position away from the guide rail, so that the gripper 224 clamps the wine bottle on the support plate 223, thereby fixing the wine bottle.

[0035] As a further preferred embodiment, to make the detection of bottle defects or internal foreign object defects more thorough and effective, the vertical rod 222 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 221, and the lower end of the drive rod 226 is rotatably connected to the guide mechanism 227. The lower end of the vertical rod 222 extends out of the mounting base 221 and is provided with a pulley 228. The lower side of the wheel 21 is provided with a self-rotating drive motor that is connected to the pulley 228 via a belt. The action of the self-rotating drive motor can drive the vertical rod 222, the support plate 223, the gripper 224 drive block 225, and the drive rod 226 to rotate together. Since the guide mechanism 227 is rotatably connected to the drive rod 226, it is not affected by the rotation of the drive rod 226. While ensuring the clamping effect of the gripper 224, it allows the bottle it carries to rotate, ensuring the accuracy of the detection results in conjunction with the detection system 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, as another core technical concept of this utility model, the detection system 4 includes a transfer plate 41 located on the upper side of the wheel 21 and coaxially rotating with the wheel 21. The transfer plate 41 is configured to reciprocate. The detection system 4 also includes a connecting arm 42, one end of which is connected to the transfer plate 41, and the other end extends above the rotation trajectory of the bottle-fixing unit 22. A sampling camera 43 is provided on the lower side. Based on this structure, the movement of the transfer plate 41 can drive the sampling camera 43 at the outer end of the connecting arm 42 to swing back and forth. When the bottle rotates with the wheel 21 to the initial position of the swing of the sampling camera 43, the rotation of the transfer plate 41 can drive the sampling camera 43 to move synchronously with the bottle. When the sampling camera 43 moves to the end position of the swing, it quickly returns and continues to swing with the next bottle or the next group of bottles. During the synchronous movement with the bottle, the image acquisition work is completed. The follow-up detection method eliminates the waiting time during the transportation of the bottle and significantly improves the detection efficiency of bottle defects or foreign object defects inside the bottle.

[0037] Furthermore, the testing equipment also includes a rotation drive unit that is connected to the wheel 21 and a swing drive unit that is connected to the transfer plate 41. To facilitate the layout of the rotation drive unit and the swing drive unit and to prevent interference between the layout of the rotation drive unit and the testing work, the rotation drive unit and the swing drive unit are both located on the underside of the base plate 1.

[0038] Specifically, combining Figure 3The rotation drive unit includes a fixed base located in the middle of the base plate 1, and a first drive shaft that is vertically rotatably disposed within the fixed base. The wheel 21 is horizontally disposed above the first drive shaft. The swing drive unit includes a second drive shaft that is vertically rotatably disposed within the first drive shaft. The adapter plate 41 is horizontally disposed above the second drive shaft. Based on the above structure, the lower end of the first drive shaft extends out of the fixed base and is provided with a first gear 23. A rotation drive 24 that is connected to the first drive shaft is provided on its outer side. The lower end of the second drive shaft extends out of the first drive shaft and is provided with a second gear 45. A swing drive 46 that is connected to the second drive shaft is provided on its outer side.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, to improve the accuracy of the detection effect of the detection system 4, multiple connecting arms 42 are provided, and multiple sets of sampling cameras 43 are provided corresponding to the multiple connecting arms 42, and the sampling direction of each set of sampling cameras 43 is different.

[0040] As a further preferred embodiment, in order to make the rotation of the adapter plate 41 more stable, and thus make the swing of the sampling camera 43 driven by the connecting arm 42 more stable, to prevent excessive shaking during swing and to ensure the image acquisition quality of the sampling camera 43, a gantry frame 44 is also provided on the upper side of the base plate 1, and the upper end of the second drive shaft passes through the adapter plate 41 and is rotatably connected to the upper part of the gantry frame 44.

[0041] Preferably, in order to make it easier to control the swing angle of the sampling camera 43 and prevent excessive swing, the second gear 45 has a fan-shaped structure, and position sensors are provided at both ends of its outer swing trajectory.

A transfer module 32 is also provided between the feeding conveyor line 31 and the star wheel module 33. When the wine bottle is conveyed to the position of the transfer module 32 by the feeding conveyor line 31, it can be transferred to the conveying system 2 under the joint action of the transfer module 32 and the star wheel module 33. When the wine bottle is transported by the conveying system 2 for one revolution to the position of the star wheel module 33, it can be transferred from the conveying system 2 to the discharging conveyor line under the action of the star wheel module 33.

[0043] Regarding the structure of the star wheel module 33, it includes a horizontally arranged guard plate 331. The guard plate 331 has arc-shaped notches on opposite sides, and within each of the two arc-shaped notches are a circular feed star wheel 332 and a discharge star wheel 333, coaxial with the notch. The feed star wheel 332 has a feed shaft on its lower side, the lower end of which passes through the base plate 1 and is equipped with a feed gear 334 that meshes with the first gear 23. The outer ring of the feed star wheel 332 has a notch. The discharge star wheel 333 has a discharge shaft on its lower side, the lower end of which passes through the base plate 1 and is equipped with a feed gear 334 that meshes with the first gear 23. The discharge gear 335 meshes with the first gear 23. The outer ring of the discharge star wheel 333 is also provided with a notch. Based on the above structure, when the first gear 23 rotates, it can drive the feed star wheel 332 and the discharge star wheel 333 to rotate. The notch of the feed star wheel 332 can receive the wine bottles transported by the transfer module 32, and the wine bottles are transported to the conveying system 2 one by one by the rotation and the blocking effect of the guard plate 331. The notch of the discharge star wheel 333 can receive the wine bottles of the conveying system 2, and the wine bottles are transported from the conveying system 2 one by one to the discharge conveying line by the rotation and the blocking effect of the guard plate 331.
