[0026] The clamping mechanism includes a connecting seat 13 connected to the circulating chain, a pair of lever clamps 14 are symmetrically arranged at the front end of the connecting seat, a telescopic guide rod 15 is arranged through the rear end of the connecting seat, and the front ends of the two lever clamps are respectively connected to clamping blocks 16, and the action surface of the clamping blocks for clamping the bottle is a V-shaped surface, and a non-slip rubber layer is also arranged on the V-shaped surface to facilitate reliable clamping of the bottle, the middle parts of the two lever clamps are rotatably connected to the connecting seat through pins 17, and the rear ends of the two lever clamps are rotatably connected to the front end of the telescopic guide rod through a folding connecting rod 18, and the telescopic guide rod is slidably connected to the connecting seat through a sliding sleeve 19, and the sliding sleeve is a lubrication-free graphite copper sleeve, and a front end of the telescopic guide rod is connected to the rear end of the connecting seat. Telescopic spring 20, the telescopic spring is an elastic tension spring, and a friction roller 21 is installed at the rear end of the telescopic guide rod. The friction roller is a rolling bearing, which is used to push the telescopic guide rod to extend and retract. A pushing guide rail 22 is arranged on the inner side of the chain guide rail, which is used to push the friction roller to extend and retract. The pushing guide rail is an eccentric hexagonal structure, and the distances between its upper, lower and left sides and the chain guide are equal, and the distances between its two right sides and the chain guide gradually increase. The inner side of the friction roller always rolls and rubs with the pushing guide rail. The chain guide and the pushing guide rail both adopt a cross-groove wear-resistant nylon chain guide, which is the same as a chain guide structure disclosed in patent document CN215747196U, which is the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] The power motor is a reduction motor, the driving sprocket is key-connected and installed on the output shaft of the reduction motor, and the reduction motor is fixedly connected to the machine body.

[0028] A wind knife 23 is arranged at the lower left side of the machine body, and is externally connected to a clean compressed air pipe network for blowing air to remove water from the cleaned bottles. The wind knife is parallel to the lower left side of the hexagonal chain guide rail.

[0029] An infrared lamp tube 24 is arranged on the upper left side of the machine body for heating and drying the bottles after water removal. The infrared lamp tube is parallel to the upper left side of the hexagonal chain guide rail.

[0030] An ultraviolet lamp 25 is arranged just above the machine body to sterilize the dried bottles. The ultraviolet lamp is parallel to the upper side of the hexagonal chain guide rail.

[0031] A feeding bridge plate 26 and a receiving bridge plate 27 are arranged on the right side of the machine body, which are used to receive the bottles transferred between the feeding belt conveyor and the discharging belt conveyor and the clamping mechanism respectively.

[0032] The feeding bridge plate is rotatably arranged horizontally, with its left end intermittently swinging against the clamping mechanism, and its right end intermittently swinging close to or away from the feed belt conveyor. Its lower part is rotatably connected to the machine body through a hinge seat 28 and a hinge shaft 29. A torsion spring 30 is sleeved on the hinge shaft, and a left limit pin 31 and a right limit pin 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the torsion spring for horizontal return of the feeding bridge plate.

[0033] The receiving bridge plate is tilted and arranged with the left side higher and the right side lower, with its left end close to the clamping mechanism and its right end close to the discharging belt conveyor. The receiving bridge plate adopts a similar structural arrangement to the feeding bridge plate, with the only difference being the installation position of the hinge shaft, the hinge shaft of the feeding bridge plate being located below the feeding bridge plate near the right end, and the hinge shaft of the receiving bridge plate being located below the feeding bridge plate near the left end.

[0034] The bottles to be cleaned lie flat in a queue and enter the bottle washing machine from the feed port, and are transported forward on the feed belt conveyor. The bottles at the back continuously push the bottles at the front forward and onto the feeding bridge. When the emptied clamping mechanism rotates to the feeding bridge, press the left end of the feeding bridge, pry up the right end of the feeding bridge, and the bottom of the bottle just slides down and falls into the middle of the two lever claws of the clamping mechanism. Then, as the guide rail pushes the telescopic guide rod to gradually compress, the two lever claws are driven to clamp the bottle through the folding connecting rod. The clamping mechanism carries the bottle and continues to transfer and press the feeding bridge until the bottle mouth completely slides over the feeding bridge. Under the reset torque of the torsion spring, the feeding bridge returns to its original horizontal position, and the clamping mechanism continues to rotate downward with the bottle to the ultrasonic water tank. When the bottle is at the top, the mouth of the bottle gradually immerses below the water surface with the mouth facing downward until the entire bottle is completely submerged in the ultrasonic water tank. After ultrasonic cleaning, the bottle gradually leaves the water surface, and then goes through wind knife dehydration, infrared drying, and ultraviolet disinfection in turn. Finally, when it comes to the material receiving bridge plate, as the distance between the pushing guide rail and the chain guide rail gradually increases, the telescopic guide rod gradually extends under the action of the elastic tension spring until the two lever clamps completely release the bottle. The clean bottle after cleaning and drying slides onto the discharging belt conveyor along the inclined material receiving bridge plate, and leaves the bottle washing machine through the discharging port. A bottle washing cycle ends, and the clamping mechanism after emptying continues to rotate and comes to the feeding bridge plate again to start the next bottle washing cycle, and so on, repeated cycles, can complete several bottle washing cycles continuously.

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific embodiments. Without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments, many modifications and changes are obvious to ordinary technicians in this technical field. Any technical deformation made within the spirit and principles of the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
