Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bottle cap conveying technology, and in particular to a conveying device for detecting bottle caps. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and quality inspection process of bottle caps, the bottle cap inspection conveying equipment is responsible for transporting the bottle caps, and also needs to cooperate with the inspection equipment to complete the quality inspection of the bottle caps and classify and process qualified and unqualified products.

[0003] Currently, in the actual operation of some bottle cap testing conveying equipment, the equipment usually first conveys the bottle caps to the bottom of the testing equipment, and the testing equipment performs quality inspection on the bottle caps. After the testing equipment identifies and removes the unqualified bottle caps, the remaining qualified bottle caps are still stuck in the testing area or on the conveying path. Manual intervention is required to remove the qualified bottle caps from the equipment and place them in the subsequent conveying process.

[0004] This manual feeding process has drawbacks. On the one hand, manual operation is relatively slow, reducing overall production efficiency. On the other hand, manual operation is susceptible to factors such as fatigue and lack of concentration, which can lead to missed bottle caps and reduce the efficiency of bottle cap inspection.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a conveying device for detecting wine bottle caps has been designed. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a conveying device for detecting bottle caps, which solves the problem in some related technologies where, after the detection device identifies and removes unqualified bottle caps, the remaining qualified bottle caps remain in the detection area or conveying path, requiring manual intervention.

[0007] In a first aspect, a conveying device for detecting wine bottle caps is provided, comprising: Conveyor 1 and conveyor 2 are arranged vertically. Conveyor 1 is used to transport bottle caps to be inspected, and conveyor 2 is used to transport bottle caps that have passed the inspection.

[0012] In some embodiments, baffle posts are provided on the guide plate and support plate of the second conveyor. The baffle posts are located at the clamp at one end of the second conveyor and are used to guide the bottle caps after detection to move onto the second conveyor.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] This application provides a conveying device for wine bottle cap inspection, which can solve the problem in some related technologies where, after the inspection device identifies and removes unqualified wine bottle caps, the remaining qualified wine bottle caps are still stuck in the inspection area or conveying path, requiring manual intervention.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-3 A conveying device for inspecting wine bottle caps includes: a vertically arranged conveyor 1 and a conveyor 2, wherein the conveyor 1 is used to convey wine bottle caps to be inspected, and the conveyor 2 is used to convey qualified wine bottle caps; a material box 3, which is arranged between the bottom of the conveyor 1 and the conveyor 2; a disc conveying mechanism 4, which is disposed on the material box 3, and is used to rotate the wine bottle caps to be inspected fed in by the conveyor 1 and convey them sequentially; an inspection unit 5, which is disposed on the disc conveying mechanism 4 and is used to inspect the sequentially conveyed bottle caps; and a blowing unit 6, which is used to blow off the unqualified wine bottle caps conveyed on the disc conveying mechanism 4, and the qualified wine bottle caps enter the conveyor 2.

[0024] The bottle caps to be tested are placed on conveyor 1. Conveyor 1 transports the bottle caps toward the disc conveyor mechanism 4. The bottle caps gradually approach the disc conveyor mechanism 4. When the bottle caps reach the end of conveyor 1 that is close to the disc conveyor mechanism 4, the bottle caps enter the disc conveyor mechanism 4 and drive the bottle caps to make a circular motion, passing through the testing unit 5 in sequence.

[0025] The detection unit 5 is arranged on the disc conveyor mechanism 4. When the bottle cap rotates with the feeding disc 43 to the detection position corresponding to the detection unit 5, the detection unit 5 starts to work, checks the appearance and size of the bottle cap, and determines whether the bottle cap is qualified.

[0026] After the test is completed, the blowing unit 6 starts to operate according to the test results. For the unqualified bottle caps, the blowing unit 6 sprays compressed air to blow the unqualified bottle caps off the feeding disc 43 and make them fall into the material box 3.

[0027] For bottle caps that pass the inspection, they continue to rotate with the feeding disc 43. When they reach a position close to conveyor 2, they enter conveyor 2 and are transported by conveyor 2 to the subsequent process or storage area.

[0028] Through the cooperation of conveyor 1, conveyor 2, disc conveyor 4, detection unit 5 and blowing unit 6, bottle caps can be continuously and stably conveyed and detected without manual handling, which greatly improves detection efficiency and enables the detection of a large number of bottle caps in a short time.

[0029] Multiple bottle caps can be transported simultaneously by the disc conveyor mechanism 4, and the detection unit 5 can continuously detect the bottle caps that pass by in sequence, achieving the effect of parallel detection and further improving the detection speed.

[0030] Through the cooperation of conveyor 1, conveyor 2 and disc conveyor 4, the automatic feeding and unloading of bottle caps is completed during the inspection process, reducing manual intervention and eliminating the need for long-term repetitive movement and transfer of bottle caps, thus reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0031] The blowing unit 6 can automatically blow off unqualified bottle caps based on the detection results of the detection unit 5, and transport qualified bottle caps to the second conveyor 2, thus avoiding the errors and tediousness of manual sorting and improving the accuracy and efficiency of sorting.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the disc conveying mechanism 4 includes multiple support seats 41 disposed on the material box 3. A support plate 42 is disposed on the top of the multiple support seats 41. A feeding disc 43 is rotatably connected above the support plate 42. The feeding disc 43 has multiple grooves 44 for accommodating bottle caps. A limiting ring 45 is disposed on the support plate 42 located outside the feeding disc 43. A clamping opening 46 is disposed on the side of the limiting ring 45 near the first conveyor 1 and the second conveyor 2. The clamping opening 46 is used for loading and unloading materials for the first conveyor 1 and the second conveyor 2, respectively. The disc conveying mechanism 4 also includes a driving member 47, which is connected to the feeding disc 43 and is used to drive the feeding disc 43 to rotate.

[0033] Multiple support bases 41 are fixedly installed on the material box 3, providing a stable support foundation for the entire disc conveying mechanism 4.

[0034] The support plate 42 is mounted on top of multiple support seats 41 to form a horizontal bearing platform, providing support and positioning for the rotation of the feeding disc 43.

[0035] The feeding disc 43 has multiple grooves 44 for accommodating bottle caps. The grooves 44 are evenly distributed on the circumference of the feeding disc 43, and their shape and size match the bottle caps so that they can stably accommodate the bottle caps.

[0036] In actual use, the conveyor 1 transports the bottle cap to be tested to a position close to the disc conveyor 4. Since the limiting ring 45 has a clamp 46 on the side close to the conveyor 1, the bottle cap can smoothly enter the groove 44 on the feeding disc 43 through this clamp 46. During the process of entering the groove 44, the bottle cap may be pushed by the conveyor 1 and fall accurately into the groove 44.

[0037] After the drive unit 47 is started, it will drive the feeding disc 43 to rotate around its central axis. As the feeding disc 43 rotates, the groove 44 containing the bottle cap will also rotate. When the bottle cap rotates with the feeding disc 43 to the clamp 46 position on the limiting ring 45 near the side of the conveyor 2, the bottle cap will leave the feeding disc 43 through the clamp 46 under the pushing action of subsequent bottle caps and enter the conveyor 2, which will then transport it to the subsequent process or storage area.

[0038] The multiple grooves 44 on the feeding disc 43 provide positioning for the bottle caps. The bottle caps are accommodated in the grooves 44, and there will be no large shaking or displacement during the rotation of the feeding disc 43, which ensures the stability of the bottle cap conveying and is conducive to the accurate detection of the bottle caps by the subsequent detection unit.

[0039] The clamping opening 46 on the limiting ring 45 near the side of conveyor 1 and conveyor 2 provides a dedicated channel for loading and unloading bottle caps, allowing the bottle caps to smoothly enter the groove 44 of the feeding disc 43 from conveyor 1 and from the groove 44 of the feeding disc 43 into conveyor 2. This avoids jamming or blockage of the bottle caps during loading and unloading, and improves conveying efficiency.

[0040] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving component 47 further includes a drive motor 471 and a reducer 472 disposed at the bottom of the material box 3. The output shaft of the drive motor 471 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 472. The output shaft of the reducer 472 is provided with a rotating shaft 473, the other end of which extends into the material box 3. A through hole is provided on the material box 3 for accommodating the rotating shaft 473. A central rotating head 474 is embedded in the feeding disc 43. The bottom end of the central rotating head 474 passes through the support disc 42 and is connected to the top end of the rotating shaft 473. The feeding disc 43 and the central rotating head 474 are fixed together by welding. The support disc 42 has a through hole for accommodating the central rotating head 474, and the central rotating head 474 slides within the through hole.

[0041] When the drive motor 471 starts, its output shaft begins to rotate. Since the output shaft of the drive motor 471 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 472, the rotational power is transmitted from the drive motor 471 to the reducer 472.

[0042] The reducer 472 reduces the input power, lowering the speed while increasing the torque to meet the rotational requirements of the feeding disc 43. The output shaft of the reducer 472 drives the rotating shaft 473 to rotate. The top of the rotating shaft 473 is connected to the central rotating head 474 embedded in the feeding disc 43. When the rotating shaft 473 rotates, it will drive the central rotating head 474 to rotate together. Since the feeding disc 43 and the central rotating head 474 are fixed by welding, the rotation of the central rotating head 474 will drive the feeding disc 43 to rotate around its central axis.

[0043] The support plate 42 has a through hole for accommodating the central rotating head 474. The central rotating head 474 slides in the through hole, which ensures that the central rotating head 474 can stably transmit rotational power and provides necessary support and guidance for the rotation of the feeding disc 43, so that the feeding disc 43 can rotate smoothly, thereby realizing the circumferential conveying of the bottle cap.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, both conveyor 1 and conveyor 2 are belt conveyors.

[0045] Conveyor 1 and Conveyor 2 are belt conveyors. Their working principle is to drive the belt to make continuous cyclic motion through the drive device. Specifically, after the motor starts, the power is transmitted to the pulley through the transmission component such as the chain. The pulley drives the belt to move on the conveyor. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Conveyor 1 transports the bottle caps to be inspected to a position near the support plate 42. The bottle caps are placed on the belt and transported forward as the belt moves. Similarly, conveyor 2 receives the inspected bottle caps from the disc conveyor 4 and transports them to the subsequent process or storage area.

[0047] In this embodiment, both conveyor 1 and conveyor 2 are provided with a guide plate 7 at one end near the support plate 42. The other end of the guide plate 7 is embedded in the support plate 42, and the top of the guide plate 7 and the top of the support plate 42 are at the same level.

[0048] When the bottle caps on conveyor 1 are conveyed to the vicinity of support plate 42, guide plate 7 plays a guiding role. Since the top of guide plate 7 is at the same level as the top of support plate 42, the bottle caps can smoothly transition from the belt to guide plate 7, and then smoothly enter the groove 44 on the feeding disc 43 of disc conveyor mechanism 4 along guide plate 7, realizing the feeding process.

[0049] During the feeding process, when the bottle cap rotates with the feeding disc 43 to a position close to the conveyor belt 2, the guide plate 7 also plays a guiding role, so that the bottle cap can smoothly transition from the groove 44 of the feeding disc 43 to the guide plate 7, and then return to the belt of the conveyor belt 2 along the guide plate 7 to complete the feeding process.

[0050] The top of the guide plate 7 is at the same level as the top of the support plate 42, which enables the bottle caps to achieve a smooth horizontal transition during loading and unloading, avoiding problems such as bottle cap jumping, jamming or tipping caused by height differences, and ensuring the continuity and stability of bottle cap conveying.

[0051] The guide plate 7 provides a clear conveying path for the bottle caps, enabling them to enter or leave the disc conveyor 4. In particular, during loading, the guide plate 7 can guide the bottle caps on conveyor 1 to the groove 44 of the feeding disc 43; during unloading, it can guide the bottle caps in the groove 44 to conveyor 2.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2Furthermore, the conveyor 1 is provided with two guide plates 8 facing each other, with a gap between the guide plates 8 and the top of the conveyor 1, and a channel for conveying bottle caps between the two guide plates 8; the other end of the guide plate 8 extends above the support plate 42 to guide the conveyed bottle caps into the groove 44. The guide plates are fixed to the conveyor 1 by multiple round rods. There is a gap between the two guide plates 8 set opposite to each other and the top of the conveyor 1, allowing the belt to pass through normally, while a channel for conveying bottle caps is formed between the two guide plates 8.

[0053] As the bottle caps move on the belt, the guide plates 8 restrict and guide them, causing them to be conveyed forward along the channel between the two guide plates 8. This prevents the bottle caps from scattering randomly on the belt or deviating from the conveying direction, ensuring the neatness and orderliness of the bottle cap conveying.

[0054] The other end of the guide plate 8 extends above the support plate 42. When the bottle cap is conveyed by the belt to the end of the guide plate 8 near the support plate 42, the bottle cap will be accurately guided into the groove 44 on the feeding disc 43 due to the guiding effect of the guide plate 8. At this time, the feeding disc 43 is in a rotating state under the drive of the drive component 47. The groove 44 will rotate with the disc, thereby smoothly transferring the bottle cap from the conveyor 1 to the disc conveying mechanism 4.

[0055] The channel formed between the two guide plates 8 provides a clear conveying path for the bottle caps, enabling them to be conveyed in the predetermined direction and position. This reduces the possibility of positional deviation during conveying and ensures that the bottle caps can accurately enter the groove 44 of the feeding disc 43, thereby improving the accuracy and success rate of feeding.

[0056] The presence of the guide plate 8 prevents the bottle caps from scattering or piling up on the belt, ensuring the smooth conveying of bottle caps on conveyor 1.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the guide plate 7 of the second conveyor 2 and the support plate 42 are both provided with baffle posts 9. The baffle posts 9 are located at the clamp 46 at one end of the second conveyor 2. The baffle posts 9 are used to guide the wine bottle caps after detection to move onto the second conveyor 2.

[0058] The bottle caps that have been tested move as the feeding disc 43 rotates.

[0059] When the bottle cap reaches a position close to conveyor 2, it will enter the clamping area 46. The baffle post 9 will prevent the bottle cap from continuing to move away from the conveying direction. It is like a "road sign" that restricts the movement path of the bottle cap to the direction of conveyor 2, so that the bottle cap can move smoothly towards conveyor 2 along the guide plate 7.

[0060] Meanwhile, as the bottle cap transitions from the feeding disc 43 to the guide plate 7, the baffles 9 on the support plate prevent the bottle cap from shifting excessively during rotation and movement. The two baffles 9 work together to form a "guide channel" that guides the bottle cap to move accurately onto the conveyor 2.

[0061] With the combined action of the two baffle posts 9, the bottle caps can move accurately from the feeding disc 43 to the belt of conveyor 2 along the path of the "guide channel". The belt of conveyor 2 continues to transport the inspected bottle caps to the subsequent process or storage area.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the detection unit 5 includes a fixed base 51 disposed on the material box 3 and a detection probe 52 disposed on the fixed base 51. The detection probe 52 is arranged above the corresponding groove 44 and is used to detect the bottle cap.

[0063] The feeding disc 43 rotates continuously, conveying the bottle caps one by one into the corresponding groove 44. As the disc rotates, the groove 44 containing the bottle caps moves to the detection area where the detection unit 5 is located.

[0064] The detection probe 52 is mounted on the fixed base 51 and positioned above the corresponding groove 44. When the groove 44 carries the bottle cap to the detection position, the detection probe 52 can be precisely aligned with the bottle cap.

[0065] When the groove 44 containing the bottle cap moves directly below the detection probe 52, the detection probe 52 starts working and detects the bottle cap.

[0066] Specifically, the detection probe 52 in this embodiment includes: Lens: Used to focus the image of the bottle cap, clearly imaging the appearance details of the bottle cap onto the image sensor.

[0067] Image sensor: CMOS complementary metal-oxide semiconductor sensor, which can convert the light focused by the lens into an electrical signal, and then generate a digital image of the bottle cap.

[0068] Light source: Such as LED light-emitting diodes, providing stable and uniform illumination for detection to ensure image quality. Common types of light sources include LED light-emitting diodes and halogen lamps.

[0069] Image processing chip: Processes and analyzes the digital images acquired by the image sensor, such as image enhancement, filtering, edge detection, and feature extraction. Through these processes, the appearance features of the bottle cap can be highlighted, facilitating subsequent defect identification.

[0070] The MCU (Microcontroller Unit) is responsible for coordinating the work of all components, receiving the results from the image processing chip, and determining whether the bottle cap is qualified based on a preset algorithm. Simultaneously, it communicates with the solenoid valve and controls its opening and closing actions based on the detection results.

[0071] Specifically, the controller is responsible for coordinating the work of various components such as the lens, image sensor, light source, and image processing chip. According to the preset timing and parameters, it controls operations such as lens focusing, image sensor acquisition, light source on / off and brightness adjustment to ensure that all components work together to complete the detection task.

[0072] The system receives the results processed by the image processing chip and judges the conformity of the bottle caps according to preset algorithms and standards. For example, it compares the extracted bottle cap features with the pre-stored conformity feature templates. If the difference exceeds the set threshold, the bottle cap is determined to be a non-conforming product.

[0073] The MCU communicates with the solenoid valve and controls its opening and closing based on the detection results. When a bottle cap is determined to be defective, the MCU sends a command to open the solenoid valve, removing the defective product; when it is determined to be acceptable, the solenoid valve remains closed, and the bottle cap continues to enter the subsequent production process.

[0074] Memory: Used to store the configuration parameters of the detection probe, the detection algorithm program, and image data during the detection process.

[0075] Housing: Protects the internal electronic components and optical assemblies of the detection probe from the influence of the external environment.

[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the blowing unit 6 includes a fixing plate 61 disposed on the material box 3, an air supply pipe 62 disposed on the fixing plate 61, an air supply nozzle 63 disposed at one end of the air supply pipe 62, the air supply nozzle 63 facing the groove 44 below the detection probe 52, and a solenoid valve 64 disposed on the air supply pipe 62 for controlling the opening and closing of the air supply nozzle 63.

[0077] The detection probe 52 performs visual inspection on the bottle caps passing below it, the image processing chip analyzes and processes the acquired images, and the controller MCU determines whether the bottle caps are qualified according to the preset algorithm.

[0078] If the test result is unqualified, the controller MCU will immediately send an opening signal to the solenoid valve 64, which will be quickly transmitted to the solenoid valve in the form of an electrical pulse through the wire.

[0079] After receiving the opening signal, the valve core inside the solenoid valve 64 moves under the action of electromagnetic force, opening the passage of the air supply pipe 62. Compressed air flows rapidly from the air supply pipe to the nozzle 63 and is ejected at high speed from the nozzle. The compressed air acts directly on the unqualified bottle cap in the groove 44 below the detection probe, blowing it away from its original position, thus removing the unqualified product.

[0080] Once a defective product is blown away, the controller MCU sends a signal to close the solenoid valve. The valve core returns to its original position under spring force, closing the air supply pipe and stopping the airflow. At this point, the blowing unit completes one work cycle and waits to restart when the next defective product is detected.

[0081] Solenoid valve 64 is installed on air supply pipe 62 and is used to control the opening and closing of air nozzle 63. It is a valve that uses electromagnetic force to control the flow of fluid. When the solenoid valve receives an electrical signal from the controller MCU, the electromagnet generates a magnetic force, attracting the valve core to move, thereby opening or closing the air supply pipe. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0082] It should be noted that the other end of the air supply pipe 62 is connected to an external air source, which is an air compressor.

[0083] An air compressor is a device that compresses air to increase its pressure and store energy. In the application scenario of this blowing unit, the air compressor can continuously and stably output compressed air at a certain pressure.

[0084] The air compressor is driven by a motor to make reciprocating or rotating movements of internal components such as pistons or screws, which draw in and compress outside air. The compressed air is then stored in an air tank. When the blowing unit needs to work, the solenoid valve 64 is opened, and the compressed air in the air tank is delivered to the jet nozzle 63 through the air supply pipe 62, forming a strong airflow that blows away the unqualified bottle caps in the groove 44 below the detection probe 52.

[0085] The air compressor can provide high-pressure compressed air to meet the airflow strength and speed requirements of the blowing unit, ensuring that defective bottle caps can be effectively blown off. Secondly, the air compressor operates relatively stably and can work continuously for long periods of time, providing a reliable air supply for the blowing unit. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated further here.
