Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage production testing technology, specifically a bottle inspection device for beverage production. Background Technology
[0002] In automated beverage production lines, bottle inspection devices are a crucial link in ensuring product quality, used to detect defects in the appearance of beverage bottles, abnormal volume, and issues with sealing. Traditional bottle inspection devices mostly employ a rough inspection mode using conveyor belts and fixed cameras or sensors to scan bottles in batches at high speeds. However, due to fixed inspection stations and insufficient algorithm recognition accuracy, these devices struggle to accurately locate subtle defects in each bottle (such as burrs on the bottle neck or scratches on the bottle body), resulting in a high rate of missed detections. This fails to meet the stringent quality control requirements of modern beverage production. Furthermore, existing bottle inspection devices for beverage production still have certain problems in use: For example, a bottle inspection device for beverage production with application number 202320333166.X has the following technical solution: it includes a support frame, on which a conveying device, a detection device, and a lifting device are provided. The detection device includes a tray, a weighing platform, and a moving rod. The moving rod is set on the lifting device, and the weighing platform is set on the upper surface of the moving rod. The tray has a mounting groove, and the bottom of the mounting groove has a through hole, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the mounting groove. The weighing platform and the moving rod are slidably set in the through hole. Several moving rods, weighing platforms, and mounting grooves are provided. However, the device uses an array sensor to perform regional scanning of the bottle. The detection signals of adjacent bottles are prone to overlap and interference, causing the defect features of individual bottles, such as bubbles with a diameter of less than 0.5 mm, to be masked, resulting in low detection efficiency.
[0003] In view of this, in-depth research was conducted on the above issues, which led to the creation of this case.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, an innovative design was developed based on the existing bottle inspection device used in beverage production. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bottle inspection device for beverage production, so as to solve the problem of low detection rate caused by the inability to inspect each bottle individually as mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A bottle inspection device for beverage production includes a base, a first conveyor belt on the upper left side of the base, and a second conveyor belt on the upper right side of the base. A semi-circular inspection platform is positioned between the first and second conveyor belts, and a guardrail is installed on the outer side of the inspection platform. An inspection device is positioned above the inspection platform, and a detection end is positioned at the bottom of the inspection device. A limit transmission disc is positioned in the middle of the inspection platform, and the limit transmission disc forms a rotating structure. A push plate is positioned behind the second conveyor belt, and a ramp is positioned in front of the second conveyor belt. A buffer roller is positioned at the bottom of the ramp, and a collection box is positioned below the buffer roller.
[0007] Preferably, a first servo motor is fixedly installed inside the base of the device, and a turntable is connected and installed above the output end of the first servo motor.
[0008] Using the above technical solution, the first servo motor drives the turntable to rotate, providing a power source for the intermittent rotation of the limit transmission plate, ensuring that the beverage bottles on the detection platform are detected according to the set rhythm, and avoiding detection omissions caused by continuous transmission.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting shaft is fixedly installed at the edge of the upper surface of the turntable, and a grooved wheel is provided on the left side of the turntable, with the bottom of the grooved wheel rotatably connected to the upper surface of the device base.
[0010] Using the above technical solution, the limiting shaft on the edge of the turntable cooperates with the grooved wheel to form an intermittent rotation structure, so that the limiting transmission disc rotates at a fixed angle, ensuring that the dwell time of each beverage bottle on the detection platform is consistent, which facilitates accurate scanning by the detection device.
[0011] Preferably, the limiting shaft is engaged with the slot inside the grooved wheel, and the limiting shaft drives the grooved wheel to form an intermittent rotation structure. A connecting shaft is fixedly installed above the grooved wheel, and the bottom of the limiting transmission disk is connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft.
[0012] Using the above technical solution, the limiting shaft drives the grooved wheel to rotate intermittently, and the connecting shaft makes the limiting transmission plate rotate synchronously, realizing the positioning and transmission of beverage bottles on the detection platform, ensuring that each bottle can be fully scanned by the detection end, and improving the detection coverage.
[0013] Preferably, a mounting frame is provided on the right side of the detection platform, and an electric push rod is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame. The electric push rod is electrically connected to the detection device, and a push plate is fixedly installed on the front output end of the electric push rod.
[0014] Using the above technical solution, the electric push rod inside the mounting frame drives the push plate according to the signal from the detection device, pushing the beverage bottles with abnormal detection from the second conveyor belt to the ramp, realizing the automatic rejection of unqualified products and reducing manual intervention.
[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the ramp is connected to the top of the collection box, and the collection box is snapped into the inside of the device base.
[0016] Using the above technical solution, the ramp guides the non-conforming beverage bottles to the collection box, which is snapped into the base of the device for easy centralized collection and cleaning, while ensuring the separate storage of non-conforming and conforming products to avoid confusion.
[0017] Preferably, a second servo motor is fixedly installed on the left side of the collection box, and the output end of the second servo motor on the right side is connected and installed on the left side of the buffer roller. The buffer roller forms a rotating structure to provide a buffer transmission structure for the abnormal beverage bottle to slip off.
[0018] Using the above technical solution, the second servo motor drives the buffer roller to rotate, which cushions the beverage bottles sliding down the slope, reduces the damage caused by the bottles, and at the same time conveys them to the collection box, ensuring that the collection process of unqualified products is smooth and orderly.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this bottle inspection device for beverage production, 1. Intermittent precision detection improves detection efficiency and accuracy: The first servo motor, through the intermittent transmission structure of the turntable, limit shaft and grooved wheel, makes the limit transmission plate rotate at a fixed angle. When each beverage bottle stops on the detection platform, the detection end of the detection device can perform a full scan of the bottle body, avoiding the missed detection problem caused by traditional continuous transmission, thus improving detection accuracy and reducing the missed detection rate. 2. Automated rejection and buffer collection ensure continuous production: After the detection device identifies defective products, the electric push rod drives the push plate to automatically reject the abnormal bottles. As the bottles slide down the ramp, the buffer roller rotates to cushion the impact and prevent breakage. The snap-fit design of the collection box facilitates quick replacement, ensuring that the production line can clean up defective products without stopping, improving production efficiency while reducing manual contact with products and meeting food hygiene standards.

A buffer roller 19 is located at the bottom of the ramp 17 and a collection box 20 is located below the buffer roller 19.
[0024] A first servo motor 11 is fixedly installed inside the device base 1, and a turntable 12 is connected and installed above the output end of the first servo motor 11. A limit shaft 13 is fixedly installed at the edge of the upper surface of the turntable 12, and a grooved wheel 14 is provided on the left side of the turntable 12. The bottom of the grooved wheel 14 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the device base 1. The limit shaft 13 is engaged with the internal slot of the grooved wheel 14, and the limit shaft 13 drives the grooved wheel 14 to form an intermittent rotation structure. A connecting shaft 15 is fixedly installed above the grooved wheel 14, and the bottom of the limit transmission disk 16 is connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft 15. The first servo motor 11 drives the turntable 12 to rotate, which is the limit transmission disk 16. Intermittent rotation provides the power source, ensuring that the beverage bottles on the detection platform 4 are detected at a set rhythm, avoiding detection omissions caused by continuous conveying. The limiting shaft 13 on the edge of the turntable 12 cooperates with the grooved wheel 14 to form an intermittent rotation structure, causing the limiting transmission disk 16 to rotate at a fixed angle, ensuring that the dwell time of each beverage bottle on the detection platform 4 is consistent, which facilitates accurate scanning by the detection device 6. The limiting shaft 13 drives the grooved wheel 14 to rotate intermittently, and the limiting transmission disk 16 rotates synchronously through the connecting shaft 15, realizing the positioning and conveying of beverage bottles on the detection platform 4, ensuring that each bottle can be fully scanned by the detection end 7, and improving the detection coverage.
[0025] A mounting frame 8 is provided on the right side of the detection platform 4, and an electric push rod 9 is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame 8. The electric push rod 9 is electrically connected to the detection device 6, and a push plate 10 is fixedly installed on the front output end of the electric push rod 9. The bottom of the ramp 17 is connected to the top of the collection box 20, and the collection box 20 is snapped into the inside of the device base 1. A second servo motor 18 is fixedly installed on the left side of the collection box 20, and the right output end of the second servo motor 18 is connected to the left side of the buffer roller 19. The buffer roller 19 forms a rotating structure to buffer the slippage of abnormal beverage bottles. The electric push rod 9 in the mounting frame 8 is adjusted according to the detection... The signal drive of the measuring device 6 pushes the push plate 10, which pushes the abnormal beverage bottles from the second conveyor belt 3 to the ramp 17, realizing the automatic rejection of unqualified products and reducing manual intervention. The ramp 17 guides the unqualified beverage bottles to the collection box 20. The collection box 20 is snapped into the device base 1 for easy centralized storage and cleaning, while ensuring that unqualified products are stored separately from qualified products to avoid confusion. The second servo motor 18 drives the buffer roller 19 to rotate, which buffers the beverage bottles sliding down the ramp 17 to reduce bottle collision and breakage. At the same time, it conveys them to the collection box 20 to ensure that the collection process of unqualified products is smooth and orderly.
[0026] Working principle: In use, beverage bottles are conveyed to the detection platform 4 by the first conveyor belt 2. The first servo motor 11 starts and drives the turntable 12 to rotate. The edge limiting shaft 13 is engaged in the slot of the grooved wheel 14, pushing the grooved wheel 14 to rotate a certain angle and then disengaging, forming intermittent motion. The grooved wheel 14 drives the limiting transmission disk 16 to rotate synchronously and intermittently through the connecting shaft 15, ensuring that each bottle stays on the detection platform 4 for a consistent time, so that the bottle stays below the detection end 7 for comprehensive scanning. The detection device 6 detects the appearance and capacity of the bottle. Qualified products are sent out by the second conveyor belt 3, while unqualified products trigger the electric push rod 9, and the push plate 10 pushes the bottle to the ramp 17. When the bottle slides down the ramp 17, the second servo motor 18 drives the buffer roller 19 to rotate, slowing down the falling speed of the bottle and avoiding collision and damage. The buffer roller 19 conveys the bottle to the collection box 20, which is attached to the device base 1 and can be removed and cleaned at any time to ensure the continuous operation of the production line.
