Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, and more specifically, to an oral liquid bottle sterilization and drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Oral liquid bottles must undergo rigorous sterilization and drying before filling to ensure the safety and long-term stability of the contents. This places extremely high demands on the efficiency of the production process and the cleanliness of the bottles. Currently, widely used sterilization and drying equipment mostly employs tunnel ovens or static oven structures. While tunnel ovens can achieve continuous production, they require a large length, consume high energy, and occupy a large space, making them poorly adaptable to small-batch or flexible production. Static ovens, also known as cabinet ovens, while having a relatively compact structure, generally suffer from the following key problems: the bottles are in a fixed state within the static oven, and the heat source, usually hot air circulation or single-sided heating elements, cannot evenly cover all surfaces of the bottle, especially the slender inner walls and neck area of ​​oral liquid bottles, which are prone to forming heating dead zones and temperature gradients. This results in insufficient sterilization, prolonged drying time, and an increased risk of residual moisture inside the bottle or on localized outer walls, which may subsequently breed microorganisms or affect the filling seal. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an oral liquid bottle sterilization and drying device that addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies and solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] This utility model provides a sterilization and drying device for oral liquid bottles, including a frame and several clamping components. A drying chamber is installed inside the frame, and several heating structures are arranged around the inner wall of the drying chamber.

A guide rail structure is installed on the side wall of the frame, and a guide component that fits into the guide rail structure is installed on the outer side wall of the drying chamber. A drive structure is provided on the side wall of the frame to drive the drying chamber to rotate within the guide rail structure. Each clamping component is provided with a clamping structure for holding the bottle.

[0006] In some technical solutions of this utility model, several clamping components are equidistantly arranged in the drying oven along the horizontal direction.

[0021] Example

[0022] This utility model provides a sterilization and drying device for oral liquid bottles, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a frame 3 and at least three clamping components 13. A drying chamber 2, circular in shape, is installed inside the frame 3. Several heating structures, each consisting of annular heating wires, are arranged around the inner wall of the drying chamber 2 and are electrically connected to an external power source. The drying chamber 2 has rectangular inlets and outlets on both sides. At least three clamping components 13 are installed inside the drying chamber 2. A U-shaped guide rail 5 structure is installed on the side wall of the frame 3. A ring-shaped guide component, fitting into the guide rail 5 structure, is installed on the outer wall of the drying chamber 2 and connected by welding or bolts. A drive structure is provided on the side wall of the frame 3 to drive the drying chamber 2 to rotate on the frame 3 under the guidance of the guide rail 5 structure. Each clamping component 13 has a clamping structure for holding bottles, which secures the bottles and prevents them from tipping over or breaking during movement. A drive structure is used to move the guide component fixed to the drying chamber 2 along the guide rail 5 on the frame 3, forcing the entire drying chamber 2, the clamping component 13 fixed within it, and the bottle body to rotate. This rotation of the bottle body, combined with the heating structure, achieves sterilization and moisture evaporation, thus achieving the drying purpose. The rotation of the drying chamber 2 causes the bottle body to continuously change position and orientation during heating, ensuring that the bottle body (especially the inner and outer surfaces) is exposed to heat radiation more evenly from 360 degrees, avoiding the dead zones and uneven heating problems of static heating.

[0023] The operation process of this structure is as follows: First, the operator inputs the oral liquid bottle from the inlet / outlet of the drying chamber 2 into the clamping component 13 through the transmission mechanism 1. The clamping structure inside the clamping component 13 is activated, firmly clamping and fixing the bottle. Subsequently, the drive structure is activated, which drives the guide component on the outer wall of the drying chamber 2 to move within the guide rail 5 structure on the side wall of the frame 3. The drive structure continues to operate, causing the entire drying chamber 2 (along with the clamping component 13 and the clamped bottle) to rotate under the constraint of the guide rail 5 structure. Several heating structures arranged around the inner wall of the drying chamber 2 are activated, heating the rotating bottle to achieve sterilization and drying. After sterilization and drying are completed, the heating structure stops working, the drive structure stops rotating, the oral liquid bottle is reset to its original position with the bottle opening facing upwards, the drying chamber 2 is stationary, and the clamping structure releases the bottle.

[0024] After drying is complete, the operator can then insert the extension of another set of conveying mechanisms into the clamping device 13 and remove the dried oral liquid bottle from the inlet and outlet.

[0025] In some technical solutions of this utility model, several clamping components 13 are equidistantly arranged in the drying oven 2 along the horizontal direction. Bottles are placed into the clamping components 13 equidistantly arranged in the drying oven 2 along the horizontal direction. This provides operational convenience for subsequent clamping, rotation, heating, and bottle removal processes. The equidistant arrangement maximizes the loading capacity within the limited space of the drying oven 2 and increases the single-pass throughput.

[0026] In some technical solutions of this utility model, an exhaust channel is provided between any two adjacent clamping parts 13. An exhaust channel is forcibly provided between the equidistant clamping parts 13. These exhaust channels provide a preferred and unobstructed flow path for the water vapor generated during the baking process and the humid air that needs to be exhausted. The clearly defined channels significantly reduce the resistance to moisture exhaust, accelerate the exhaust speed of humid air inside the drying oven 2 and the replenishment speed of fresh, dry, hot air, effectively shortening the overall drying time. Smooth exhaust reduces the risk of moisture condensing near the oral liquid bottle, reduces the possibility of condensate dripping back or causing contamination, and improves the cleanliness of the bottle after drying.

[0027] In some technical solutions of this utility model, the clamping structure includes clamping plates 14 slidably disposed within the clamping member 13, a connecting rod 12 passing through the drying chamber 2, and clamping plates 14 all connected to the connecting rod 12. A first push rod structure 11 connected to the connecting rod 12 is installed on the outer wall of the drying chamber 2. The clamping plates 14 located within the clamping member 13 are connected by a connecting rod 12 passing through the drying chamber 2. By pushing and pulling the connecting rod 12 back and forth through the first push rod structure 11 (such as a cylinder or motor screw) installed outside the drying chamber 2, all clamping plates 14 can be driven to move synchronously, thereby controlling the opening and closing actions of all clamping structures. The clamping / releasing operation of all clamping members 13 in the drying chamber 2 can be controlled through the first push rod structure 11, which greatly simplifies the operation steps and improves the bottling / unloading efficiency. All clamping structures are driven synchronously through mechanical linkages (connecting rods 12), ensuring that the clamping force of each clamping member 13 on the bottle is basically consistent, avoiding the risk of bottle instability or damage caused by individual clamping being too loose or too tight.

[0028] In some technical solutions of this utility model, the guide rail 5 structure includes a pair of guide rails 5 mounted on the frame 3, and a guide ring 6 surrounding the outer wall of the drying chamber 2. The guide ring 6 is connected to the outer wall of the drying chamber 2 by welding or bolting, and a portion of the guide ring 6 is embedded in the guide rail 5. The pair of guide rails 5 mounted on the frame 3 and the guide ring 6 fixed to the outer wall of the drying chamber 2 form a sliding pair. A portion of the guide ring 6 is embedded in the groove of the guide rail 5, which constrains the guide ring 6 and prevents it from derailing. This structure provides reliable support and precise circumferential trajectory guidance for the rotational movement of the drying chamber 2, ensuring that the drying chamber 2 rotates smoothly and reliably at high speeds, and is not prone to shaking or falling off.

[0029] In some technical solutions of this utility model, the drive structure includes a drive motor 8 mounted on one of the guide rails 5 via an L-shaped mounting base. The drive motor 8 and the mounting base are detachably connected by bolts. The drive motor 8 is a servo motor. A gear structure 7 is rotatably mounted inside the guide rail 5 via a pin shaft. A rack structure 9 is fitted onto the guide ring 6. The rack structure 9 is annular and is embedded in a groove on the outer wall of the guide ring 6. The gear structure 7 meshes with the rack structure 9, and the output end of the drive motor 8 is connected to the gear structure 7 for transmission. The drive motor 8 serves as a power source, and its output torque is transmitted to the gear structure 7. The gear structure 7 and the rack 9 attached to the guide ring 6 form a gear and rack transmission pair. This transmission method converts the rotational motion input by the motor into a precise and powerful linear traction motion (the movement of the rack 9). Then, through the constraint of the guide ring 6 by the guide rail 5, this linear motion is converted into a stable rotational motion of the drying chamber 2. When the drive structure is working, it drives the guide members on the outer wall of the drying chamber 2 to move within the guide rail 5 structure on the side wall of the frame 3. The driving structure continues to operate, causing the entire drying oven 2, along with the clamping parts 13 and the clamped oral liquid bottles, to rotate under the constraint of the guide rail 5 structure.

[0030] The drive motor 8 can also be mounted on the frame 3, and then the corresponding gear structure 7 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 8, and then the rack 9 is mounted on the outer wall of the drying oven 2.

[0031] In some technical solutions of this utility model, two guide grooves are provided on the side wall of the frame 3. The guide grooves are rectangular through grooves, and sliders 10 connected to the guide rail 5 are slidably installed in each guide groove. The sliders 10 are rectangular blocks. A second push rod structure 4 connected to the sliders 10 is installed on the side wall of the frame 3. The second push rod structure 4 is a cylinder or a motor screw. The second push rod structure 4 is fixed to the lower side of the frame 3 by a mounting plate. In this way, the drying box 2 can be controlled to reciprocate on the frame 3 relative to the conveying mechanism by the second push rod structure 4, thereby transferring the oral liquid bottles on the arrayed clamps 13 from the inlet and outlet to the conveying mechanism.

[0032] In some technical solutions of this utility model, the drying oven 2 is provided with two sets of water receiving trays 15, each parallel to the clamping member 13. A water-absorbing layer is installed inside each water receiving tray 15. The clamping member 13 is located between the two water receiving trays 15, and both water receiving trays 15 are connected to an external drainage structure. During the sterilization and drying process, the water evaporated from the bottle body due to heating forms water vapor. Some of this water vapor may condense into liquid upon encountering the cooler inner or top wall of the drying oven 2. The condensate and any water droplets that may occasionally drip from the bottle opening fall onto the water receiving trays 15 located below the clamping member 13. The condensate and dripping liquid collected by the two sets of water receiving trays 15 are discharged to the outside of the drying oven 2 through an external drainage structure (such as a pipe or valve) connected to them. Furthermore, the water receiving trays 15 are also connected to an exhaust channel connected to an external exhaust system to assist in the discharge of water droplets.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
