Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wine bottle production and processing, and particularly to a cleaning system for cleaning the running wine bottle body. Background Art

[0002] A wine bottle is a container for holding liquor. Different liquor manufacturers will carry out various color combinations and painting treatments on the outer surface of the wine bottle in order to clearly distinguish the wine bottles for holding liquor. Currently, before the painting treatment of the wine bottle, the wine bottle body is usually cleaned to prevent dust from adhering to the outer surface of the wine bottle body during the production process. If the dust adheres to the wine bottle body, bubbles will be generated on the outer surface of the wine bottle body after the painting treatment, affecting the appearance of the wine bottle body.

[0003] In order to avoid dust adhering to the outer surface of the wine bottle body, resulting in bubbles on the outer surface of the wine bottle body after the painting treatment of the wine bottle body, it is necessary to clean the wine bottle body before the painting treatment of the wine bottle body to maintain the cleanliness of the wine bottle body. However, the traditional cleaning of wine bottles uses a brush to wipe off the dust on the outer surface of the wine bottle body. Since it is manually wiping off the dust on the outer surface of the wine bottle body, the cleaning effect of each wine bottle body varies greatly due to manual wiping cleaning, and the cleaning effect is relatively low. The entire operation process is cumbersome, time-consuming and laborious, increasing the labor intensity of the staff, thus greatly increasing the production cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a cleaning system for cleaning the running wine bottle body to quickly clean the wine bottle body and remove the dust adhering to the outer surface of the wine bottle body, improving the production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] 1) A cleaning system for cleaning the running wine bottle body, comprising a frame. A conveying chain for orienting and conveying wine bottles is arranged in the frame. The conveying chain sequentially passes through a washing mechanism, a blowing mechanism, a drying mechanism and an air-cooling mechanism along the conveying direction, wherein:

[0007] The washing mechanism is configured to have a cleaning component that rotates and brushes towards the wine bottle body, and a spraying component for spraying water towards the cleaning component is arranged in the washing mechanism;

[0008] The blowing mechanism is configured to have a blowing component for drying the water adhering to the surface of the wine bottle body. The blowing component is located on both sides of the conveying chain, and the blowing direction of the blowing component is towards the conveying chain for blowing air;

[0009] The drying mechanism is configured with a drying component for warming and drying the inside and outside of the wine bottle body. The drying component can heat the moisture in the wine bottle body under a constant temperature condition for drying treatment;

[0010] The air-cooling mechanism is configured with a cold air component for air-cooling and drying the water vapor adhering to the surface of the wine bottle body. The cold air component is located on both sides of the conveying chain, and the cold air direction of the cold air component blows towards the conveying chain.

[0011] With the above technical solution, the conveying chain can drive the wine bottle body to pass through the washing mechanism, the blowing mechanism, the drying mechanism and the air-cooling mechanism in sequence. Among them, the cleaning component of the washing mechanism rotates and brushes the wine bottle body conveyed on the conveying chain to wipe the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body clean. At the same time, during the wiping process, the spraying component in the washing mechanism sprays water flow towards the cleaning component, and the adhered dust on the cleaning component and the wine bottle body is washed away by the water flow, so as to keep the cleaning component and the wine bottle body clean together;

[0012] Since the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body are sprayed and rinsed in the washing mechanism, the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body both contain a certain amount of water. At this time, the conveying chain drives the wine bottle body into the blowing mechanism. The blowing component in the blowing mechanism partially dries the water adhering to the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body. In order to further ensure that the wine bottle body is in a dry state, the conveying chain drives the wine bottle body into the drying mechanism. The drying component in the drying mechanism can heat the moisture on the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body under a constant temperature condition, so as to warm-heat the moisture that has not been dried or the moisture in the concave parts of the wine bottle body, and thus form water vapor on the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body;

[0013] At this time, the conveying chain drives the wine bottle body into the air-cooling mechanism again. The cold air component arranged in the air-cooling mechanism blows cold air on the wine bottle body running on the conveying chain, quickly cools the wine bottle body, and at the same time dries the water vapor adhering to the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body to keep the wine bottle body clean. The whole process can quickly clean the wine bottle body and remove the dust adhering to the outer surface of the wine bottle body, improving the production efficiency.

[0014] 2) A cleaning system for the operation and cleaning of a wine bottle body according to 1), wherein:

[0015] The conveying chain includes a roller chain and sprockets located on both sides of the roller chain. The sprockets are horizontally arranged, and the roller chain is wound around the two sprockets. The roller chain sequentially passes through a washing mechanism, a blowing mechanism, a drying mechanism, and an air-cooling mechanism. Along its conveying direction, the roller chain has pins inserted thereon, and a slider is fixed to the bottom of the pin. The slider is slidably connected to the chute of the frame; a support seat for supporting the bottle body of the wine bottle is fixed to the top of the pin.

[0016] With the above technical solution, the roller chain rotates between the two sprockets, thereby realizing the stable transportation of the wine bottle bodies arranged side by side on the roller chain. The stability of the roller chain transportation is achieved through the sliding connection between the pins inserted on the roller chain and the sliders at their bottoms and the chutes on the frame; at the same time, the pins inserted on the roller chain firmly support the wine bottle bodies with the support seats at their tops, so that the wine bottle bodies maintain relative stability during transportation, enabling the wine bottle bodies to be cleaned, dried, air-dried, etc., thereby improving the overall cleaning efficiency.

[0017] 3) A cleaning system for cleaning the running wine bottle body according to 2), wherein:

[0018] The washing mechanism includes a washing chamber covering the upper part of the roller chain. The washing chamber has several cleaning components evenly distributed along its conveying direction. The cleaning components include cleaning brushes symmetrically arranged in the washing chamber. The cleaning brushes are all in an inverted L shape. Each cleaning brush includes a long limb part and a short limb part perpendicular to each other. A plurality of bristles are provided on both the long limb part and the short limb part. The long limb parts are all rotatably connected in the washing chamber and the long limb parts can rotate self-revolvingly, and the short limb parts all rotate horizontally with the central axis of the long limb part as the rotation axis.

[0019] With the above technical solution, the long limb parts of the cleaning brushes distributed on both sides sequentially rotate and wash the bottle body of the wine bottle, while the short limb parts on both sides sequentially rotate and wash the bottle bottom of the wine bottle on the same horizontal plane. Multiple cleaning components sequentially conduct a comprehensive and thorough washing on the outer surface of the bottle body; in addition, since the short limb parts all rotate horizontally with the central axis of the long limb part as the rotation axis, that is, the contact process between the short limb parts and the bottle bottom of the wine bottle is: the short limb side drives the bristles to brush from one end of the bottle bottom to the other end of the bottle bottom in a fan-shaped translation. Compared with the linear washing, the contact time between the bristles and the bottle bottom is increased, thereby improving the washing intensity and washing effect of the bristles on the bottle body surface, so as to sweep away the impurities in the bottle bottom depression together with the cleaning water to the greatest extent while washing the bottle bottom of the wine bottle, further improving the washing effect of the washing mechanism on the outer surface of the wine bottle body.

[0020] 4) A cleaning system for cleaning the running wine bottle body according to 3), wherein:

[0021] The spraying assembly includes a plurality of spray heads arranged at the top of the washing bin and evenly distributed. All the spray heads are commonly connected to a water inlet pipe. A valve is arranged in the water inlet pipe. The end of the water inlet pipe away from all the spray heads is communicated with a water pump. A water delivery pipe is communicated with the water pump. The end of the water delivery pipe away from the water pump is communicated with a water tank filled with clean water.

[0022] With the above technical solution, a plurality of spray heads are used to spray clean water on the bottle body in the washing bin. At the same time, a water pump is designed to pump the clean water in the water tank into the water inlet pipe. When the valve is opened, the clean water in the water inlet pipe flows towards the plurality of spray heads respectively, so as to realize that the plurality of spray heads spray clean water towards the cleaning brush and the bottle body respectively, wash away the dust adhered to the surface of the cleaning brush and the bottle body, and keep the cleaning brush and the bottle body clean.

[0023] 5) According to the cleaning system for running and cleaning the bottle body of a wine bottle described in 3), wherein:

[0024] A plurality of bristles are arranged on both the long limb part and the short limb part along their axial directions, and the bristles are perpendicular to both the long limb part and the short limb part, or the bristles are all inclined.

[0025] By the above technical solution, the bristles on the short limb part are all inclined. When washing a wine bottle with a depression at the bottom, the contact surface between the bristles and the bottle body increases, so as to more timely throw out the accumulated water in the depression, and then remove the stains in the depression, further improving the cleaning intensity of the wine bottle.

[0026] 6) According to the cleaning system for running and cleaning the bottle body of a wine bottle described in 1), wherein:

[0027] The blowing assembly includes a support rod arranged parallel to the conveying chain. A plurality of inclined blowing cylinders are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the support rod and a blower connected to the blowing cylinders. The air outlet end of the blowing cylinder is square. The two included angles formed by the two blowing cylinders on both sides and the conveying chain are α and β respectively, and 30°≤α≤60°, 30°≤β≤60°.

[0028] With the above technical solution, the single-sided inclined and alternating air-drying method can better prevent the residual water from splashing to the dried area due to the strong air flow impact, and can also prevent the problem of uneven air-drying caused by the insufficient air-drying and residual accumulated water in each small corner of the uneven bottle surface such as a patterned wine bottle; at the same time, by arranging the blowing cylinders all inclined, on the basis of ensuring that the bottle body is obliquely air-dried laterally, the bottle body is inverted and conveyed, which not only prevents the residual water in the cleaning step from flowing into the bottle, but also reduces the complexity of the structure of the whole blowing device.

[0029] 7) The bottle washing system for the running bottle body of a wine bottle as described in 2), wherein:

[0030] The drying mechanism includes a drying chamber covering the upper part of the roller chain. There are two heating plates on both sides of the roller chain in the drying chamber. A first heating pipe is arranged in a wavy extension on one heating plate of the drying chamber, and a second heating pipe is arranged in a wavy extension on the other heating plate of the drying chamber. The position of the first heating pipe corresponds to the position of the second heating pipe.

[0031] The heating plates on both sides of the roller chain in the above technical solution are used to heat the internal environment of the drying chamber, so that the internal environment of the drying chamber remains relatively constant in temperature. At the same time, the corresponding positions of the first heating pipe and the second heating pipe are designed to enable the hot air generated by the first heating pipe and the second heating pipe to move towards the wine bottle body transported by the roller chain, thereby thermally drying the wine bottle body transported by the roller chain. In this way, it can not only ensure the evaporation and drying of the moisture attached to the wine bottle body, but also avoid affecting the strength of the wine bottle body itself due to excessive temperature.

[0032] 8) The bottle washing system for the running bottle body of a wine bottle as described in 7), wherein:

[0033] A heating box and a suction pump are provided at the top of the drying chamber. The suction pump is connected to the heating box through a connecting pipe. The other end of the suction pump is connected to an input pipe, and the input pipe is respectively connected to the outlets of the first heating pipe and the second heating pipe; There is hot water in the heating box and an electric heating wire for heating the hot water. The other end of the heating box is connected to an output pipe, and the output pipe is respectively connected to the inlets of the first heating pipe and the second heating pipe.

[0034] The heating box in the above technical solution is used to deliver hot water to the first heating pipe and the second heating pipe, so that the hot water flows in a wavy shape along the first heating pipe and the hot water flows in a wavy shape along the second heating pipe. The first heating pipe and the second heating pipe exchange heat between the hot water and the cold air in the drying chamber. As a result, the temperature of the hot water in the first heating pipe and the second heating pipe gradually decreases, and the environmental temperature in the drying chamber gradually increases and keeps the drying chamber relatively constant in temperature;

[0035] When the hot water in the first heating pipe and the second heating pipe is in operation, it is sucked into the connecting pipe through the input pipe of the suction pump well and enters the heating box through the connecting pipe. The electric heating wire in the heating box heats the hot water in the heating box, and the heated hot water is then delivered to the first heating pipe and the second heating pipe through the output pipe.

[0036] 9) The bottle washing system for the running bottle body of a wine bottle as described in 1), wherein:

[0037] The air-cooling mechanism includes air-cooling boxes arranged on both sides of the conveying chain. Inside the air-cooling boxes, several air-coolers are evenly distributed along the conveying direction of the conveying chain. The outlets of the air-coolers penetrate through the air-cooling boxes to form air-blowing openings. A cold-air hood is sleeved on the air-blowing openings, and a number of cold-air holes arranged in a matrix are evenly distributed on the surface of the cold-air hood facing the conveying chain.

[0038] The air-cooling box designed by adopting the above technical solution is used to load several air-coolers. Installing several air-coolers in the air-cooling box can protect the air-coolers, thereby prolonging the service life of the air-coolers. At the same time, the outlets of the air-coolers penetrate through the air-cooling box to form air-blowing openings. The air-blowing openings face the conveying chain and blow cold air on the wine bottle bodies conveyed on the conveying chain, thereby quickly reducing the temperature of the wine bottle bodies. The cold-air hood designed at the air-blowing opening and the several cold-air holes opened on the cold-air hood enable the cold air to blow to the wine bottle bodies through the cold-air holes, so as to reduce the blowing force of the cold air blowing to the wine bottle bodies and avoid the wine bottle bodies from falling off the conveying chain under excessive cold air blowing force.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the present invention also has the following technical effects:

[0040] The present invention can realize the automatic sorting of wine bottles through the conveying chain and sequentially enter the washing mechanism, the blowing mechanism, the drying mechanism and the air-cooling mechanism, so that the wine bottles can be automatically fed into the washing mechanism without manual operation. Similarly, the cleaning components and the scrubbing components of the washing mechanism can quickly clean the wine bottles, greatly increasing the cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the blowing mechanism can not only dry the water on the outer surface of the wine bottles, but also blow and clean the floating dust on the wine bottles. After the blowing mechanism completes the blowing process, the conveying chain drives the wine bottles to sequentially enter the drying mechanism and the air-cooling mechanism. The drying mechanism dries the water attached to the surface of the wine bottles, and the water vapor generated by drying the water adheres to the surface of the wine bottles and is dispersed by the air-cooling mechanism and the wine bottles are quickly cooled down, which can not only keep the cleanliness of the surface of the wine bottles, but also increase the strength of the wine bottles themselves. Therefore, the present invention can quickly clean the wine bottle bodies and remove the dust adhering to the outer surfaces of the wine bottle bodies, improving the production efficiency.

[0049] Now, reference will be made in detail to the embodiments disclosed by the present invention. Although the present disclosure will be described in conjunction with embodiments and / or examples, they do not limit the present disclosure to these embodiments and / or examples. On the contrary, the present disclosure covers alternatives, modifications, and equivalents.

[0050] Embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a cleaning system for cleaning the running wine bottle body includes a frame 5. Inside the frame 5, there is a conveying chain for directionally conveying wine bottles along the conveying direction. The conveying chain sequentially passes through a scrubbing mechanism 1, a blowing mechanism 2, a drying mechanism 3, and an air-cooling mechanism 4 along the conveying direction, where:

[0051] The scrubbing mechanism 1 is configured to have a cleaning component that rotates and brushes towards the wine bottle body, and there is a spraying component inside the scrubbing mechanism 1 that sprays water towards the cleaning component; the blowing mechanism 2 is configured to have a blowing component that blows dry the moisture attached to the surface of the wine bottle body. The blowing component is located on both sides of the conveying chain, and the blowing direction of the blowing component is towards the conveying chain to blow air.

[0052] The drying mechanism 3 is configured to have a drying component that warms and dries the inside and outside of the wine bottle body. The drying component can keep the wine bottle body in a constant temperature state to heat the moisture for drying treatment; the air-cooling mechanism 4 is configured to have a cold air component that air-cools and blows dry the water vapor attached to the surface of the wine bottle body. The cold air component is located on both sides of the conveying chain, and the cold air direction of the cold air component is towards the conveying chain to blow air.

[0053] The conveying chain can drive the wine bottle body to pass through the washing mechanism 1, the blowing mechanism 2, the drying mechanism 3 and the air-cooling mechanism 4 in sequence. Among them, the cleaning component of the washing mechanism 1 rotates and brushes the wine bottle body conveyed on the conveying chain to wipe the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body clean. At the same time, during the wiping process, the spraying component in the washing mechanism 1 sprays water flow towards the cleaning component, and the adhered dust on the cleaning component and the wine bottle body is washed away by the water flow, so as to keep the cleaning component and the wine bottle body clean together.

[0054] Since the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body are sprayed and rinsed in the washing mechanism 1, there is a certain amount of water on the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body. At this time, the conveying chain drives the wine bottle body into the blowing mechanism 2, and the blowing component in the blowing mechanism 2 partially dries the water adhered to the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body; in order to further ensure that the wine bottle body is in a dry state, the conveying chain drives the wine bottle body to run into the drying mechanism 3. The drying component in the drying mechanism 3 can heat the water on the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body under a constant temperature condition, so as to thermally heat the water that has not been dried or the water in the concave parts of the wine bottle body, thereby forming water vapor on the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body.

[0055] At this time, the conveying chain drives the wine bottle body into the air-cooling mechanism 4 again. The cold air component arranged in the air-cooling mechanism 4 blows air to generate cold air for the wine bottle body running on the conveying chain, and quickly cools the wine bottle body. At the same time, the water vapor adhered to the outer surface and the bottom surface of the wine bottle body is also dried to keep the wine bottle body clean. The whole process quickly cleans the wine bottle body and removes the dust adhered to the outer surface of the wine bottle body, improving the production efficiency.

[0056] See Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the conveying chain includes a roller chain 7 and sprockets located on both sides of the roller chain 7. The sprockets are arranged horizontally, and the sprockets are driven to rotate by a motor. The roller chain 7 is wound between the two sprockets. The roller chain 7 passes through the washing mechanism 1, the blowing mechanism 2, the drying mechanism 3 and the air-cooling mechanism 4 in sequence. The roller chain 7 has pins inserted thereon along its conveying direction. A slider is fixed to the bottom of the pin, and the slider is slidably connected to the chute of the frame 5; a support seat 6 for supporting the wine bottle body is fixed to the top of the pin.

[0057] In this embodiment, the roller chain 7 rotates between two sprockets, thereby realizing the stable transportation of the wine bottle bodies arranged side by side on the roller chain 7. The stability of the transportation of the roller chain 7 is realized by the sliding connection between the pin shaft penetrating through the roller chain 7 and the slider at the bottom thereof and the chute on the frame 5. At the same time, the wine bottle bodies are firmly supported by the support seats 6 at the top of the pin shafts penetrating through the roller chain 7, so that the wine bottle bodies maintain relative stability during transportation, thereby enabling operations such as cleaning, drying, and air drying of the wine bottle bodies, and further improving the overall cleaning efficiency.

[0058] At the same time, a circular support plate is coaxially arranged directly below each sprocket in this embodiment. An arc-shaped groove is provided on the upper surface of the support plate, and the arc-shaped groove communicates with the chute. The support plate is rotatably connected to the frame 5 through a rotating shaft. In this embodiment, according to design requirements, support plates can be arranged at different positions on the frame 5 to change the direction of transporting the wine bottle bodies. Moreover, the arc-shaped groove in the support plate is for placing the sprocket, so that the roller chain 7 wound around the sprocket changes direction at the position of the support plate, thereby realizing the conveyance of the wine bottle bodies on the roller chain 7 into the washing mechanism 1.

[0059] In addition, in this embodiment, the support seats 6 each include a fixing part and a tapered part. The fixing parts are respectively vertically welded to the tops of the pin shafts of the roller chain 7, and the fixing parts are parallel to the pin shafts in the roller chain 7. The tapered parts are detachably connected to the fixing parts. The specific detachable connection method is as follows: a connecting column is fixed to the top of the fixing part, and a connecting groove is opened at the bottom of the tapered part. The connecting column is inserted into the connecting groove to make the fixing part and the tapered part in interference fit.

[0060] By replacing tapered parts of different models and sizes, the support and fixation of wine bottles of different models can be realized. The tapered part is made of a soft material. In this embodiment, the material of the tapered part is rubber. The cross-section of the soft tapered part gradually becomes larger from top to bottom. When the wine bottle is inverted, the tapered part can enter the bottle mouths of wine bottles of different sizes, that is, installing the same model of tapered part 22 can adapt to wine bottles with multiple sizes of bottle mouths, thereby further improving the adaptability of this washing device.

[0061] And in combination with Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the washing mechanism 1 includes a washing chamber 11 covering the roller chain 7. Both sides of the washing chamber 11 are made of transparent glass material for observing the situation inside the chamber at any time. The washing chamber 11 has several cleaning components evenly distributed along its conveying direction. The cleaning components include cleaning brushes symmetrically arranged in the washing chamber 11. The cleaning brushes are all in an inverted L shape. Each cleaning brush includes a long limb part 13 and a short limb part 12 that are perpendicular to each other. A plurality of bristles 14 are provided on both the long limb part 13 and the short limb part 12. The long limb parts 13 are all rotatably connected in the washing chamber 11 and the long limb parts 13 can rotate by themselves, and the short limb parts 12 all rotate horizontally with the central axis of the long limb part 13 as the rotation axis.

[0062] The long limb parts 13 of the cleaning brushes distributed on both sides sequentially rotate and wash the bottle body of the wine bottle, while the short limb parts 12 on both sides sequentially rotate and wash the bottle bottom of the wine bottle on the same horizontal plane. Multiple cleaning components sequentially and thoroughly wash the outer surface of the bottle body; in addition, since the short limb parts 12 all rotate horizontally with the central axis of the long limb part 13 as the rotation axis, that is, the contact process between the short limb part 12 and the bottle bottom of the wine bottle is: the short limb side drives the brush hairs 14 to be brushed from one end of the bottle bottom to the other end in a fan-shaped translation. Compared with the linear washing, the contact time between the brush hairs 14 and the bottle bottom is increased, thereby improving the washing intensity and effect of the brush hairs 14 on the bottle body surface, so as to sweep away the impurities in the bottle bottom depression together with the cleaning water to the greatest extent while washing the bottle bottom of the wine bottle, and further improving the washing effect of the washing mechanism 1 on the outer surface of the wine bottle body.

[0063] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the spraying component includes several spray heads arranged at the top of the washing bin 11 and evenly distributed. All the spray heads are commonly connected to a water inlet pipe. A valve is arranged in the water inlet pipe. The end of the water inlet pipe far from all the spray heads is communicated with a water pump. A water delivery pipe is communicated with the water pump. The end of the water delivery pipe far from the water pump is communicated with a water tank filled with clean water.

[0064] In this embodiment, several spray heads are used to spray clean water on the wine bottle body in the washing bin 11. Meanwhile, it is designed that the water pump pumps the clean water in the water tank into the water inlet pipe. The valve is opened, so that the clean water in the water inlet pipe flows towards several spray heads respectively, thereby realizing that several spray heads spray clean water towards the cleaning brushes and the wine bottle body respectively, washing away the dust adhered to the surfaces of the cleaning brushes and the wine bottle body, and maintaining the cleanliness of the cleaning brushes and the wine bottle body; at the same time, a waste water recovery pool is also arranged at the bottom of the washing bin 11, and the waste water recovery pool is used to collect the waste water from spraying and cleaning the cleaning brushes and the wine bottle body.

[0065] See Figure 3 As shown, several brush hairs 14 are arranged on both the long limb part 13 and the short limb part 12 along their axial directions, and the brush hairs 14 are perpendicular to both the long limb part 13 and the short limb part 12, or the brush hairs 14 are all inclined; by arranging the brush hairs 14 on the short limb part 12 to be inclined in the above technical solution, when washing a wine bottle with a depression at the bottom, the contact surface between the brush hairs 14 and the bottle body is increased, so as to more timely throw out the accumulated water in the depression, and then remove the stains in the depression, further improving the cleaning intensity of the wine bottle.

[0066] See Figure 4As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the blowing assembly includes a support rod 21 arranged parallel to the conveying chain. A plurality of inclined blowing cylinders 23 are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the support rod 21, and a blower 22 connected to the blowing cylinder 23. The air outlet end of the blowing cylinder 23 is square. The two included angles formed by the two side blowing cylinders 23 and the conveying chain are α and β respectively, and 30° ≤ α ≤ 60°, 30° ≤ β ≤ 60°.

[0067] The designed single-sided inclined alternating air-drying method in this embodiment can better prevent residual water from splashing to the dried area due to too strong air flow impact, and can also prevent uneven air-drying caused by insufficient air-drying and residual water accumulation in each small corner of the uneven bottle surface such as the patterned wine bottle; at the same time, by arranging the blowing cylinders 23 inclined, on the basis of ensuring that the bottle body is obliquely air-dried laterally, the bottle body is inverted and conveyed, which not only prevents the residual water in the cleaning step from flowing into the bottle, but also reduces the complexity of the entire blowing device structure.

[0068] The overall shape of the blowing cylinder 23 is trapezoidal, that is, the cross-sections of the air outlet end and the air inlet end are both square, and in this embodiment, both the air outlet end and the air inlet end are rectangular, so as to provide a strip-shaped air flow to the roller chain 7. The upper end of the strip-shaped air flow is higher than the bottom of the bottle body, and the lower end of the strip-shaped air flow is lower than the bottle mouth; the cross-section of the air outlet end is smaller than the cross-section of the air inlet end, so as to increase the air flow velocity at the air outlet end and improve the air-drying efficiency under the condition that the power of the blower 22 remains unchanged.

[0069] See Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the drying mechanism 3 includes a drying chamber 31 covering the roller chain 7. There are two heating plates on both sides of the roller chain 7 in the drying chamber 31. A first heating tube 32 is arranged in a wavy extension on one heating plate of the drying chamber 31, and a second heating tube 33 is arranged in a wavy extension on the other heating plate of the drying chamber 31. The position of the first heating tube 32 is correspondingly arranged with the position of the second heating tube 33.

[0070] The designed heating plates on both sides of the roller chain 7 are used to heat the internal environment of the drying chamber 31, so that the internal environment of the drying chamber 31 remains relatively constant temperature. At the same time, the corresponding positions of the first heating tube 32 and the second heating tube 33 are designed to enable the hot air generated by the first heating tube 32 and the second heating tube 33 to move towards the direction of the wine bottle body transported by the roller chain 7, so as to warm and dry the wine bottle body transported by the roller chain 7. In this way, it can not only ensure the evaporation and drying of the moisture attached to the wine bottle body, but also avoid affecting the strength of the wine bottle body itself due to too high temperature.

[0071] Meanwhile, a heating box 34 and a suction pump 55 are provided at the top of the drying bin 31. The suction pump 55 is connected to the heating box 34 through a connecting pipe. The other end of the suction pump 55 is connected to an input pipe, and the input pipe is respectively connected to the outlets of the first heating pipe 32 and the second heating pipe 33; the heating box 34 contains hot water and an electric heating wire for heating the hot water. The other end of the heating box 34 is connected to an output pipe, and the output pipe is respectively connected to the inlets of the first heating pipe 32 and the second heating pipe 33.

[0072] The designed heating box 34 realizes the delivery of hot water to the first heating pipe 32 and the second heating pipe 33, so that the hot water flows in a wavy shape along the first heating pipe 32 and the hot water flows in a wavy shape along the second heating pipe 33. The first heating pipe 32 and the second heating pipe 33 perform heat exchange between the hot water and the cold air in the drying bin 31. Thus, the temperature of the hot water in the first heating pipe 32 and the second heating pipe 33 gradually decreases, and the ambient temperature in the drying bin 31 gradually increases and keeps the drying bin 31 at a relatively constant temperature.

[0073] When the hot water in the first heating pipe 32 and the second heating pipe 33 is in operation, it is sucked by the suction pump 55 into the input pipe opening and then into the connecting pipe, and then enters the heating box 34 through the connecting pipe. The electric heating wire in the heating box 34 heats the hot water in the heating box 34, and the heated hot water is then delivered to the first heating pipe 32 and the second heating pipe 33 through the output pipe.

[0074] See Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the air-cooling mechanism 4 includes air-cooling boxes 41 arranged on both sides of the conveying chain. A plurality of air-cooling fans 42 are evenly distributed in the air-cooling boxes 41 along the conveying direction of the conveying chain. The outlets of the air-cooling fans 42 penetrate through the air-cooling boxes 41 to form air-blowing openings, and air-cooling covers are sleeved on the air-blowing openings. A plurality of air-cooling holes 43 arranged in a matrix are evenly distributed on the surface of the air-cooling covers facing the conveying chain.

[0075] The designed air-cooling boxes 41 are used to load a plurality of air-cooling fans 42. Loading the plurality of air-cooling fans 42 in the air-cooling boxes 41 can protect the air-cooling fans 42, thereby extending the service life of the air-cooling fans 42; at the same time, the outlets of the air-cooling fans 42 penetrate through the air-cooling boxes 41 to form air-blowing openings, and the air-blowing openings face the conveying chain and blow cold air on the wine bottle bodies conveyed on the conveying chain, thereby quickly reducing the temperature of the wine bottle bodies; and the air-cooling covers designed at the air-blowing openings in combination with the plurality of air-cooling holes 43 opened on the air-cooling covers enable the cold air to blow onto the wine bottle bodies through the air-cooling holes 43, thus reducing the blowing force of the cold air blowing onto the wine bottle bodies and preventing the wine bottle bodies from falling off the conveying chain under excessive cold air blowing force.

[0076] Through the conveying chain, the automatic sorting of wine bottles can be realized and they can enter the washing mechanism 1, the blowing mechanism 2, the drying mechanism 3 and the air-cooling mechanism 4 in sequence, so that the wine bottles can be automatically fed into the washing mechanism 1 without manual operation. Also, the cleaning component and the washing component of the washing mechanism 1 can quickly clean the wine bottles, greatly improving the cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the blowing mechanism 2 can not only dry the water on the outer surface of the wine bottles, but also blow and clean the floating dust on the wine bottles. After the blowing mechanism 2 completes the blowing process, the conveying chain drives the wine bottles to enter the drying mechanism 3 and the air-cooling mechanism 4 in sequence. The drying mechanism 3 dries the water adhering to the surface of the wine bottles, and the water vapor generated by drying the water adheres to the surface of the wine bottles and is blown away by the air-cooling mechanism 4 and the wine bottles are quickly cooled down. This can not only keep the cleanliness of the surface of the wine bottles, but also increase the strength of the wine bottles themselves. Therefore, the present invention can quickly clean the bottle body of the wine bottles and remove the dust adhering to the outer surface of the wine bottles, improving the production efficiency.
