Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of beverage filling technology, specifically a bottle body offset alarm mechanism for a beverage filling machine. Background Technology
[0002] In beverage bottling production, the stability and precision of the filling machine directly affect product quality and production efficiency. With the widespread adoption of high-speed filling technology, production lines place higher demands on the accuracy of bottle positioning. Traditional filling equipment typically relies on fixed guiding devices or mechanical limiting structures to ensure container alignment during transport. However, in actual operation, due to factors such as bottle shape differences, conveyor belt vibration, or external interference, containers may experience varying degrees of misalignment. If this misalignment is not detected and corrected in time, it can lead to misalignment between the filling nozzle and the bottle mouth, causing problems such as liquid spillage, inaccurate filling volume, or equipment jamming. Modern filling production lines are increasingly adopting automated monitoring technology to identify abnormal container positions. However, achieving rapid and reliable misalignment detection without affecting production efficiency remains one of the key technological challenges in the intelligent upgrading of filling equipment. The industry has a continuous demand for non-contact, high-response bottle position monitoring solutions to adapt to the flexible production requirements of different bottle types and higher production cycles.
[0003] Existing technologies suffer from the following shortcomings: Current beverage bottling production lines exhibit numerous technical deficiencies in handling bottle misalignment. First, detection systems often employ unidirectional sensors or simple mechanical switches, failing to comprehensively identify multi-angle bottle misalignments, resulting in insufficient detection accuracy. Second, misalignment alarms frequently require manual intervention, leading to delayed responses and impacting production efficiency. Third, traditional straightening mechanisms utilize cylinder drives, resulting in asynchronous movements and significant impact forces, easily causing secondary misalignments. Furthermore, the alarm system and execution mechanism operate independently, increasing operational complexity. Finally, rigid clamping components can easily damage the bottle surface, affecting product appearance quality. These technical limitations hinder existing systems from achieving rapid, accurate, and automated bottle correction. This invention innovatively employs a photoelectric sensor array for omnidirectional detection, servo motor linkage control for rapid response, and a worm gear transmission mechanism for smooth straightening. It integrates the alarm and execution systems and utilizes flexible contact components to protect the bottle, thus constructing a complete intelligent correction solution that effectively improves the automation level and operational efficiency of the bottling production line. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a bottle body offset alarm mechanism for a beverage filling machine, which solves the problems in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bottle offset alarm mechanism for a beverage filling machine, comprising: The main body shell has a servo motor at its bottom and three arc-shaped support plates fixedly connected to it. Material plates are fixedly connected to the three arc-shaped support plates, and three arc-shaped plates are arranged radially on the material plates. Photoelectric sensors are arranged on the arc-shaped plates. Three pairs of right-angle clamps are fixedly connected to the main body shell along its radial direction. A worm gear is rotatably connected between each pair of right-angle clamps. The main body shell is provided with a clamping mechanism and an alarm mechanism.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the clamping mechanism includes a clamping arm that is fixedly connected coaxially with the worm gear.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a rubber roller is rotatably connected to the end of the clamping arm.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a worm gear is rotatably connected to the main body shell, and the worm gear meshes with three worm wheels.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the alarm mechanism includes a sound drum fixedly connected inside the main body shell.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the worm gear shaft passes through the main body shell and is coaxially fixedly connected to a sound brush, and the sound brush and the sound drum are provided in a matching manner.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the output end of the servo motor passes through the main body shell and is fixedly connected coaxially with the sound brush.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention provides a bottle misalignment alarm and automatic straightening device for a beverage filling line, comprising a photoelectric sensor array, an alarm mechanism, and a clamping and straightening mechanism. When a beverage bottle misaligns on the conveyor belt, the circularly arranged photoelectric sensors detect the abnormal position and trigger a servo motor. The servo motor drives a brush to strike a sound drum, emitting an alarm sound to alert the operator. Simultaneously, through a worm gear transmission mechanism, it synchronously drives three clamping arms to retract inward, causing the rubber rollers at the ends of the clamping arms to gently conform to the bottle, automatically straightening the misaligned bottle to the standard position. This design achieves integrated linkage of detection, alarm, and correction, effectively solving the problem of bottle misalignment during filling. In actual operation, the device can quickly respond to even slight bottle misalignments, ensuring continuous and stable production on the filling line. The circular arrangement of the photoelectric sensor array allows for comprehensive monitoring of the bottle position, accurately capturing both slight tilts and significant misalignments. Once an abnormality is detected, the system immediately activates the alarm mechanism; the warning sound emitted by the sound drum is clearly audible and can attract the attention of workers even in noisy workshop environments. Simultaneously, the clamping and straightening mechanism moves swiftly, with the three clamping arms synchronously retracting inward under the drive of a servo motor. This ensures even force is applied to the bottle, preventing secondary shifting or tipping due to uneven force. The rubber rollers at the ends of the clamping arms are made of flexible material, which firmly adheres to the bottle without scratching or deforming its surface, making it particularly suitable for fragile glass bottles or smooth PET bottles. The worm gear transmission mechanism ensures smooth and controllable clamping action, avoiding impacts or vibrations caused by sudden clamping. The entire straightening process is smooth and natural, without disrupting the normal operation of the filling line. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0016] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: A bottle misalignment alarm mechanism for a beverage filling machine includes: The main body shell 1 has a servo motor 2 at its bottom. Three arc-shaped support plates 3 are fixedly connected to the main body shell 1. A material plate 4 is fixedly connected to the three arc-shaped support plates 3. Three arc-shaped plates 5 are arranged radially on the material plate 4. Photoelectric sensors 6 are arranged on the arc-shaped plates 5. The beverage bottle to be filled is placed on the material plate 4, and the filling port and the bottle mouth are concentric with the material plate 4. The photoelectric sensors 6 on the three arc-shaped plates 5 are at the same distance from the axis of the material plate 4. The photoelectric sensor array formed by the three photoelectric sensors 6 can detect the deviation between the position of the bottle body and the standard position. The photoelectric sensors 6 are connected to the servo motor 2 to control the servo motor 2. Three pairs of right-angle clamping plates 7 are fixedly connected to the main body shell 1 along its radial direction. Each pair of right-angle clamping plates 7 is rotatably connected to a worm gear 8. The main body shell 1 is provided with a clamping mechanism and an alarm mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping arm 9 fixedly connected to the worm gear 8 on the same axis. A rubber roller 10 is rotatably connected to the end of the clamping arm 9. A worm 11 is rotatably connected to the main body shell 1. The worm 11 meshes with the three worm gears 8. The clamping mechanism can straighten the beverage bottle that is not in the center of the material plate 4 and prevent the bottle from shifting. When the worm 11 rotates, the worm gear 8 that meshes with it will rotate. When all three worm gears 8 rotate, the angle of the clamping arm 9 fixedly connected to the worm gears 8 on the same axis will change, thereby straightening the beverage bottle. The alarm mechanism includes a sound drum 12 fixedly connected inside the main body shell 1. A worm gear 11 shaft passes through the main body shell 1 and is coaxially fixedly connected to a sound brush 13. The sound brush 13 and the sound drum 12 are matched. The output end of the servo motor 2 passes through the main body shell 1 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the sound brush 13. When the worm gear 11 rotates, the sound brush 13, which is coaxially fixedly connected to it, will rotate, and the sound drum 12 will emit an alarm sound, thereby reminding on-site personnel that the beverage bottle has deviated and should be adjusted in time.
[0017] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the beverage bottles to be filled are placed on the material plate 4, and the filling port and the bottle mouth are concentric with the material plate 4. The photoelectric sensors 6 on the three arc plates 5 are at the same distance from the axis of the material plate 4. The photoelectric sensor array formed by the three photoelectric sensors 6 can detect the deviation between the bottle position and the standard position. The photoelectric sensors 6 are connected to the servo motor 2 to control the servo motor 2. Secondly, when the beverage bottle is detected to be off-center, the servo motor 2 drives the worm gear 11 to rotate, and the sound brush 13, which is fixedly connected to it on the same axis, will rotate. The sound drum 12 that works in conjunction with it will then emit an alarm sound, thereby reminding the on-site staff that the beverage bottle has deviated and should be adjusted in time. Finally, the clamping mechanism can straighten beverage bottles that are not in the center of the material plate 4 to prevent the bottles from shifting. When the worm 11 rotates, the worm wheel 8 that meshes with it will also rotate. When all three worm wheels 8 rotate, the angle of the clamping arm 9 that is coaxially fixed to the worm wheel 8 will change, thereby straightening the beverage bottle.
[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
