Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] 1. A drum that is rotated by a drum drive device about a vertically arranged central axis as a center of rotation, and a bottle that is attached to the drum by inscribing the outer periphery of an upright bottle. A large number of bottle outer circumference inscribed grooves provided in the axial direction on the outer circumference of the drum to define the circumferential direction position and the radial direction position toward the drum center, and a bottle support that supports the bottom of the bottle inscribed in the bottle outer circumference inscribed groove. a gate member provided for each inscribed groove on the outer periphery of each bottle so as to be movable between the bottle release position and the bottle release position that does not support the bottom of the bottle; and a gate member drive device that moves the gate member between the two positions. , The bottom of the bottle is supported by the gate member, and the outer periphery of one side of the bottle is inscribed in the groove inscribed on the outer periphery of the bottle. A partially cut-out annular horizontal rail is provided in a stationary state independently of the drum at a predetermined outside position of the contact groove, and a sorting plate is placed on the gate member at the bottle supporting position at the entrance position where the horizontal rail is cut out. a first bottle discharging device that discharges bottles from above the gate member at an exit position where the horizontal rail is cut out, which is located downstream of the inlet position in the direction of rotation of the drum; The bottle on the gate member that has come to the inspection position located between the position and the exit position is inspected and this bottle is placed in the first position.
It is determined whether or not the bottle should be sent to the bottle discharging device, and if it is judged that the bottle should be sent to the first bottle discharging device, the gate member is held at the bottle supporting position, and it is determined that the bottle should not be sent to the first bottle discharging device. an inspection device that outputs a signal to the gate member drive device so as to switch the gate member to the bottle release position when the gate member is switched to the bottle release position in response to a signal from the inspection device; As a starting point, move the bottle inscribed in the bottle outer circumference inscribed groove downward along the bottle outer circumference inscribed groove according to the rotation of the drum while supporting and guiding the bottom and the outer circumference of the other side of the bottle. A bottle sorting device comprising: a second bottle discharging device having a helical rail provided in a stationary state independently of the drum at a predetermined dimension outer position of the inscribed groove on the bottle outer periphery so as to be movable; 2. The bottle sorting device according to claim 1, wherein bottle discharging devices having the same structure as the second bottle discharging device are provided with positions shifted from each other in the circumferential direction of the drum. 3. The bottle sorting device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a plurality of inspection devices are provided. 4. The bottle sorting device according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the inspection device is a device that optically determines the presence or absence and shape of bottles. 5. The bottle sorting device according to claim 1, 2, 3 or 4, wherein the inspection device is a device for determining whether a bottle has a crown. 6. The bottle sorting device according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, wherein the inspection device is a device for determining whether or not the opening of the bottle is damaged.
