Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass bottle inspection technology, specifically a high-speed pharmaceutical glass lamp inspection and transmission device. Background Technology
[0002] According to national standards for pharmaceutical packaging materials, the appearance of pharmaceutical glass packaging materials must be inspected during the production process. Currently, most workshops use direct observation under workshop lights for inspection. However, some defects are difficult to observe under workshop lights. Some workshops have designed simple workbenches and use lamps to increase light intensity for observation. Since the light source of the lamps is fixed, some appearance defects need to be observed by changing the angle. They can only be observed by constantly changing the angle of the glass bottle. When inspecting the appearance defects of the samples, it is necessary to manually lift the product and change the angle for observation, which greatly increases the workload.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model application number CN202222737310.4 discloses a light inspection device for identifying appearance defects in pharmaceutical glass tubes and bottles, belonging to the field of inspection equipment. It includes a light inspection table, a reflector, a product holder, and a panel LED light. The light inspection table has symmetrically arranged light fixture supports on its back side, and the panel LED light is installed between the two light fixture supports. The product holder has a rotatable product holder at its top. The product holder uses a pressure rod, a pressure spring, and a pressure plate to lock and fix the product in place. During light inspection, rotating the product holder allows for comprehensive inspection of the product without manually lifting it. The panel LED light is movably mounted on the top of the light fixture via a light fixture pivot, making it quicker and more convenient to adjust the illumination direction during light inspection. The upper surface of the light inspection table also has a reflector that reflects the light emitted by the panel LED light onto the bottom surface of the product, reducing the amount of light used and saving energy.
[0004] While the above-mentioned technical solution facilitates the adjustment of the light inspection angle of the glass bottle, it requires staff to install and disassemble the glass bottles one by one, increasing the number of steps involved in inspecting the appearance quality of the glass bottles and thus reducing the inspection efficiency. Therefore, we need to propose a high-speed pharmaceutical glass light inspection transmission device. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-speed pharmaceutical glass lamp inspection transmission device, comprising:
[0025] Mounting frame 1 and conveying device 2 set on mounting frame 1. Mounting frame 1 is mainly welded from I-shaped top frame and L-shaped bottom frame, which facilitates support for conveying device 2. Conveying device 2 includes two sets of synchronous pulleys, synchronous belt and drive motor. The drive motor drives the synchronous pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the synchronous belt to rotate, so that the synchronous belt drives multiple sets of support mechanisms 3 to perform circumferential motion, which facilitates the movement of the installed glass bottle and improves the efficiency of appearance inspection.
[0026] Multiple sets of support mechanisms 3 are arranged at equal intervals on the conveying device 2 to facilitate the assembly of glass bottles;
[0027] The light shield 4 is installed on the conveyor device 2, and multiple industrial cameras 6 are installed inside the light shield 4 to inspect the appearance of the glass bottle. The light shield 4 is equipped with a cylindrical LED light 7 to supplement the light of the glass bottle, so that the industrial camera 6 can inspect the surface of the glass bottle from different angles. The model of the industrial camera 6 is Basler ACE2K.
[0028] The support mechanism 3 includes two sets of fixed plates 31 and multiple sets of elastic elements 32 installed between the two sets of fixed plates 31. Limiting plates 33 are fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of both sets of fixed plates 31. Guide support rods 34 for inserting into the mouth of glass bottles are fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the limiting plates 33. The upper ends of the guide support rods 34 are rounded. The elastic elements 32 can ensure that the two sets of fixed plates 31 are relatively far apart. Under the elastic action of the elastic elements 32, glass bottles of different diameters can be supported. The limiting plates 33 can ensure the installation position of the glass bottles, improve the stability of glass bottle transportation, and thus improve the optical inspection efficiency of glass bottles.
[0029] The elastic element 32 includes a telescopic rod 322 and two sets of base plates 321. The two sets of base plates 321 are fixedly connected to both ends of the telescopic rod 322. A spring 323 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 322 and abuts against the two sets of base plates 321. The spring 323 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 322 and abuts against the two sets of base plates 321, which ensures the stability of the spring 323 installation. At the same time, the base plates 321 and the telescopic rod 322 improve the relative stability of the two sets of fixing plates 31, thereby enabling the guide support rod 34 to stably support the glass bottle.
[0030] The light shield 4 includes a support plate 41 and a protective cover 42. The protective cover 42 is a semi-cylindrical cover. The support plate 41 is welded to the upper side of one side of the protective cover 42. Two sets of inlet and outlet holes 43 are provided between the support plate 41 and the protective cover 42. Multiple sets of industrial cameras 6 are respectively installed on the upper side of the inner side of the protective cover 42. A cylindrical LED light 7 is installed on one side of the support plate 41. The protective cover 42 can avoid the interference of ambient light, thereby improving the accuracy of the inspection of the appearance of the glass bottle. Multiple sets of industrial cameras 6 are installed at equal angles on the inner wall of the protective cover 42, thereby enabling multi-angle inspection of the glass bottle during transportation and improving the inspection efficiency. The cylindrical LED light 7 can provide uniform illumination and reduce the reflective blind spot.
[0031] The conveying device 2 is equipped with a first feeding mechanism 11, a second feeding mechanism 12, and a feeding mechanism 13. The first feeding mechanism 11 is equipped with a color sensor 14, and the second feeding mechanism 12 is equipped with a second photoelectric switch 15. The protective cover 42 is equipped with a marking mechanism 8 for marking unqualified glass bottles with colors. The first feeding mechanism 11, the second feeding mechanism 12, and the feeding mechanism 13 all include a frame, an electric guide rail, and a robotic arm. The position of the robotic arm is adjusted by the electric guide rail, which facilitates the installation of untested glass bottles and the removal of tested glass bottles. At the same time, the color sensor 14 can easily detect marked glass bottles so that the first feeding mechanism 11 can screen out unqualified glass bottles, while the second photoelectric switch 15 can detect unmarked glass bottles, thereby controlling the second feeding mechanism 12 to remove qualified glass bottles.
[0032] The marking mechanism 8 includes a mounting plate 81 installed on the upper surface of the protective cover 42. An electric push rod 82 is provided on the mounting plate 81. A marking stamp 83 is provided at the telescopic end of the electric push rod 82. The electric push rod 82 can drive the marking stamp 83 to mark the unqualified glass bottles with color, so that the unqualified products can be rejected after the color sensor 14 detects them. The color sensor 14 is an Omron ZFX-C10, which can perform RGB three-color analysis.
[0033] On the other side of the support plate 41, there is a controller 10 and two sets of first photoelectric switches 9. On one side of the protective cover 42, there is a display screen 5 electrically connected to multiple sets of industrial cameras 6. The first photoelectric switches 9 can detect the position of glass bottles entering and leaving the protective cover 42, and then work with the controller 10 to mark the glass bottles as unqualified, so as to separate qualified products from unqualified products and improve the detection efficiency of glass bottles. The first photoelectric switch 9 and the second photoelectric switch 15 are both Keyence FU-77F (fiber optic through-beam type), and the controller 10 is Siemens S7-12001214C. The controller 10, the first photoelectric switch 9, the second photoelectric switch 15, the color sensor 14 and the industrial cameras 6 are all mature existing technologies and can be purchased and installed. Their working principle and circuit connection relationship will not be described in detail.
[0034] In use, the feeding mechanism 13 places the pharmaceutical glass bottle on the support mechanism 3 on the conveying device 2. The two sets of fixing plates 31 are connected by elastic elements 32. The guide rod 34 on the limiting piece 33 is inserted into the mouth of the glass bottle. The buffering effect of the elastic element 32 is used to achieve stable assembly and self-adaptive clamping of the glass bottle.
[0035] The conveyor 2 moves the glass bottle to the area of the light shield 4. The cylindrical LED lights inside the protective shield 42 provide supplementary lighting for the glass bottle, providing a uniform light source for inspection. Multiple industrial cameras 6 perform appearance inspection on the surface of the glass bottle from different angles under the stable lighting environment created by the light shield 4, and display the inspection results on the display screen 5. At the same time, the model number of the unqualified product is transmitted to the controller 10. The electric push rod 82 on the mounting plate 81 drives the marking stamp 83 to descend and mark the unqualified bottle with color.
[0036] When a defective bottle with a color mark moves to the first feeding mechanism 11 along with the conveyor 2, the color sensor 14 identifies the mark color and triggers the first feeding mechanism 11 to grab and remove it, while the qualified bottle continues to be conveyed. When it passes through the second feeding mechanism 12, the second photoelectric switch 15 senses the bottle and controls the second feeding mechanism 12 to remove the qualified product, thereby realizing high-speed automated light inspection and sorting of pharmaceutical glass bottles.
[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
