Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of beverage production equipment technology, and in particular to a beverage filling level detection system. Background Technology

[0002] In the beverage manufacturing industry, the filling process, as a crucial link between raw material processing and finished product packaging, directly determines the product's market competitiveness. With consumers' increasing demands for beverage quality and production lines moving towards higher speeds and larger scales, ensuring that the filling level of each bottle meets standards has become a core requirement for companies to guarantee product consistency and reduce quality risks. Currently, the automation level of beverage filling production lines is continuously improving, but as the final checkpoint in quality control, the technical level of level detection still has a significant impact on overall production efficiency. Therefore, the demand for efficient, accurate, and intelligent level detection systems is becoming increasingly urgent.

[0003] Currently, traditional beverage filling level detection relies heavily on manual sampling. However, manual inspection is inefficient, difficult to keep up with the pace of large-scale production, and the results are easily affected by subjective factors such as personnel experience and fatigue, leading to large errors and a high rate of missed detections. This fails to meet stringent quality control standards. Furthermore, manual inspection cannot provide real-time feedback on results, and abnormal levels during production cannot be detected and adjusted in a timely manner. This can result in a large number of defective products flowing into subsequent stages, significantly increasing raw material waste and rework costs. In addition, empty bottles are prone to tilting or shifting during transport due to factors such as conveyor belt vibration and bottle shape differences, leading to inconsistent filling level benchmarks, further exacerbating detection errors and affecting the quality stability of the final product. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a beverage filling level detection system. By setting up an empty bottle detection sensor to detect empty bottles in real time and provide feedback signals, it replaces manual judgment and reduces lag. Then, the microwave level measuring instrument can accurately detect the liquid level, avoiding errors caused by manual detection. At the same time, the clamping component and the synchronous adjustment component can guide different bottle types and clamp and fix the detected bottles to ensure the stability of the bottles during detection, reduce detection deviation, and solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The beverage filling level detection system provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: It includes a main conveyor belt, a frame fixedly connected to the upper side of the main conveyor belt, a first mounting plate fixedly connected to one side of the frame, an empty bottle detection sensor fixedly mounted on the inner side of the first mounting plate, a second mounting plate fixedly connected to the other side of the frame, and a microwave position sensor fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the second mounting plate. Both the empty bottle detection sensor and the microwave position sensor are electrically connected to an external controller. A clamping assembly is provided on the outer side of the second mounting plate, the clamping assembly including two fixed plates fixedly connected to the upper side of the second mounting plate, and the inner sides of the two fixed plates are rotatably connected. The system is equipped with a bidirectional lead screw, to the outer side of which are two symmetrically moving blocks. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each of the two moving blocks, and a clamping block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each of the two connecting frames. Two symmetrically adjustable guide assemblies are provided on the upper side of the main conveyor belt. Each adjustable guide assembly includes a fixed frame fixedly connected to the outer side of the main conveyor belt, an internally threaded sleeve rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed frame, a first sprocket fixedly connected to the outer side of the internally threaded sleeve, and a threaded rod threadedly connected to the inner side of the internally threaded sleeve. A guide plate is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod. A synchronous adjustment assembly is provided on the bottom surface of the main conveyor belt.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the empty bottle detection sensor can detect empty bottles in real time and provide feedback signals, replacing manual judgment of the empty bottle status and reducing the lag of manual intervention. Subsequently, the microwave position measuring instrument can accurately detect the liquid level after filling, solving the problem of large errors in manual detection. Then, the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw in the clamping assembly can drive the moving block to move relative to each other, and then drive the clamping block to clamp and fix the bottle through the connecting frame, ensuring the stability of the bottle during detection and reducing detection deviation. At the same time, the rotation of the internal threaded sleeve in the adjustable guide assembly can drive the threaded rod to move the guide plate, realizing the guidance of different bottle types. The first sprocket provides the transmission basis for synchronous adjustment, and together with the synchronous adjustment assembly, the guide plates on both sides are adjusted synchronously, improving the overall detection efficiency and ensuring the consistency of guidance, thereby solving the detection error problems caused by unstable empty bottle transportation and inaccurate positioning, and improving detection efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the outer side of the second mounting plate has two symmetrical guide grooves, and the outer side of the moving block is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide groove. A servo motor is fixedly embedded on the outer side of one of the fixed plates, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide groove plays a guiding and limiting role in the movement of the moving block, ensuring that the clamping block moves smoothly. Then, the servo motor provides power to the bidirectional lead screw to realize the automatic opening and closing of the clamping block, replacing manual adjustment of the clamping distance, improving the adaptability to different bottle types, and further enhancing the automation level of the system.

[0009] Preferably, two guide sleeves are fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing frame, and a sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner side of each of the two guide sleeves, with one end of the sliding rod fixedly connected to the outer side of the guide plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide sleeve and the slide bar cooperate to assist in guiding the movement of the guide plate, prevent the guide plate from shifting or shaking during the adjustment process, ensure the guiding stability during empty bottle transportation, and reduce the error risk of subsequent liquid level detection.

[0011] Preferably, the synchronization adjustment assembly includes two base plates fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the main conveyor belt, and a synchronization shaft is rotatably connected to the inner side of the two base plates. One end of the synchronization shaft is fixedly connected to a wheel.

There is no need to adjust the guide structures on both sides separately, simplifying the operation process and improving the adjustment efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, a second sprocket is fixedly connected to the outer sides of both ends of the synchronous rotating shaft, and a chain is sleeved on the outer side of each of the two second sprockets. The second sprocket and the first sprocket are connected by the chain drive.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the second sprocket, chain and first sprocket can synchronously transmit the rotational motion of the synchronous shaft to the internal threaded sleeve, so that the internal threaded sleeves on both sides rotate at the same time, thereby driving the guide plates on both sides to move inward or outward synchronously, ensuring that the width adjustment of the empty bottle conveying channel is consistent, and ensuring that the empty bottle can be conveyed in the center.

[0015] Preferably, a storage tank is fixedly installed on the upper side of the frame, a filling pipe is fixedly connected to the inner side of the frame, and one end of the filling pipe is fixedly connected to the inner side of the storage tank. An electrically controlled valve is fixedly installed on the outer side of the filling pipe, and the electrically controlled valve is electrically connected to an external controller.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the above-mentioned electronically controlled valve is controlled by an external controller and can automatically open or close according to the signal of the empty bottle detection sensor, thereby realizing the automated control of the filling process and improving filling efficiency and accuracy.

[0017] Preferably, an electric push rod is fixedly installed on the outer side of the main conveyor belt, and a push block is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod. A defective conveyor belt is fixedly connected to the outer side of the main conveyor belt, and the position of the electric push rod is adapted to the position of the defective conveyor belt.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric push rod drives the push block to push the defective bottle to the defective conveyor belt, realizing the automatic sorting of defective products and replacing the tedious process of manually selecting defective products.

[0019] Preferably, both the defective conveyor belt and the electric push rod are electrically connected to an external controller.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the defective conveyor belt and electric push rod are electrically connected to an external controller, which can receive the detection signal of the microwave position measuring instrument and automatically perform sorting actions, realizing real-time response for defective product processing.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This beverage filling level detection system uses empty bottle detection sensors to detect empty bottles in real time and provide feedback signals, replacing manual judgment and reducing lag. A microwave level gauge then accurately detects the liquid level, avoiding errors caused by manual detection. Simultaneously, the bidirectional lead screw in the clamping assembly rotates, causing a moving block to move relative to the bottle. This, in turn, drives the clamping block to hold and fix the bottle via a connecting frame, ensuring bottle stability during detection and reducing detection deviation. An adjustable guide assembly then moves the guide plate via an internal threaded sleeve and threaded rod. Combined with a synchronous adjustment assembly, both guide plates can be adjusted synchronously, preventing unstable empty bottle transport and inaccurate positioning. Furthermore, an electric push rod, push block, and defective product conveyor belt, along with an external controller, enable automatic sorting and real-time response for defective products, comprehensively improving detection efficiency and accuracy while reducing production costs.

[0027] Example 2: Beverage filling level detection system, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The second mounting plate 5 has two symmetrical guide grooves 706 on its outer side, and the outer side of the moving block 703 is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide groove 706. A servo motor 707 is fixedly embedded in the outer side of one of the fixing plates 701, and the output end of the servo motor 707 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 702. The guide groove 706 guides and limits the movement of the moving block 703, ensuring that the clamping block 705 moves smoothly. Then, the servo motor 707 provides power to the bidirectional lead screw 702, realizing the automatic opening and closing of the clamping block 705, replacing manual adjustment of the clamping distance, improving the adaptability to different bottle types, and further enhancing the automation level of the system. Two guide sleeves 806 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing frame 801, and slide rods 807 are slidably connected to the inner side of each of the two guide sleeves 806.

[0028] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: First, the rotating wheel 905 of the synchronous adjustment component 9 is rotated. At this time, the rotation of the rotating wheel 905 can drive the synchronous rotating shaft 902 to rotate. At this time, under the support of the base plate 901, the second sprockets 903 at both ends of the synchronous rotating shaft 902 drive the first sprocket 805 of the adjustable guide component 8 to rotate through the chain 904, so that the internal thread sleeve 802 rotates in the fixed frame 801, thereby pushing the threaded rod 803 to drive the guide plate 804 to move. At this time, with the cooperation of the guide sleeve 806 and the slide rod 807, the guide plate 804 can be ensured to move stably, realizing the synchronous adjustment of the two guide plates 804, adapting to different bottle types and ensuring that the empty bottle is transported in the center on the main conveyor belt 1. At this time, when the empty bottle is transported to the first mounting plate 3, the empty bottle detection sensor 4 detects the empty bottle and transmits the signal to the external controller. At this point, after the empty bottle is conveyed to the bottom of the filling pipe 11, the controller commands the electrically controlled valve 12 on the outside of the filling pipe 11 connected to the storage tank 10 on the frame 2 to open, completing the automatic filling. After that, the filled bottle continues to be conveyed to the bottom of the second mounting plate 5. The servo motor 707 of the clamping assembly 7 drives the bidirectional lead screw 702 to rotate, causing the moving block 703 to move along the guide groove 706. The connecting frame 704 drives the clamping block 705 to clamp and fix the bottle. The microwave position measuring instrument 6 accurately detects the liquid level and feeds back the signal to the controller. If it is a defective product, the controller commands the electric push rod 13 to push the push block 14 to push the defective bottle to the defective conveyor belt 15. The defective conveyor belt 15 moves synchronously to convey it to the designated area. If it is a qualified product, it continues to be conveyed with the main conveyor belt 1. The entire process realizes automated detection and processing, improving efficiency and accuracy.
